McCain: My Wardrobe Was Too Gay

Senator John McCainJust when you thought John McCain couldn't get any more pathetic... You're not going to believe this one.

McCain has identified the real cause of his problems. No it's not talk radio or the conservative wing of the GOP, or even his tough stance on Iraq. No, his sweaters were too, well, let's just say... metro.

I kid you not
.

According to one insider, the knit-picking was the crescendo of a tirade by the Arizona senator, in which he blistered aides about the minutiae of the campaign. While many septuagenarians live in a perpetual state of sweater weather, McCain reportedly declared his frustration with being told to don the perceived homosexual outerwear in order to look younger and more approachable.

"He wasn't happy being dictated to. The sweaters were part of that," the source says.

The Mr. Rogers-inspired wardrobe was on its finest display last spring, when the candidate wore a roomy black snuggly while standing under the pounding Iraq sun. Washington insiders wondered why the campaign would place the candidate in such obviously awkward garb.

Make sure to follow the link to seem some really nice examples, including a royal blue pullover that's just fabulous! Obviously the downside of losing half your staff including the top 5 insiders is that they start talking. And oh the stories they could tell... and will!
