Halloween Politics: McCain is Joe the P. and I’m Rachel Maddow—scary!

This Halloween, I’m a lesbian.

Just call me Emila Mok.  Until midnight at least. Maybe until election day.

A little solidarity for my sisters on the Prop. 8 thing.

I got the idea while watching Rachel Maddow.  I liked her look and thought, “Gee her hair style looks like my picture in my column.” Indeed on my column  page at posted at http://www.asianweek.com/category/emil-amok/ a respondent to my column on Prop.8 actually thought I was a woman and referred to me as a “her.”

Maybe past midnight I should contemplate a  sex-change—as a career move.

As for John McCain: The guy has brought “business casual” to politics. He’s in costume all the time now.  On all his Ohio visits McCain  looks like the guy in line at the supermarket buying Bud Light and ground beef. He’s morphed into Joe the Plumber. Now that’s desperation.

In these final hours, in order to distance himself from Bush, McCain has to play “every man.”  He even intros Joe P. at all his campaign stops. You’d think Joe were running for veep. (I bet McCain wishes he was). Joe at least knows to shut up and smile and be used as a prop. Got to hand it to Palin. She wants to be more than a cartoon figure She wants to be an action figure! Real movable arms and legs, none of that flat-two dimensional black and white page stuff, with color on the weekends.

But don’t think Joe is ambitionless. I bet if he had his druthers he’d rather be Daddy Warbucks than Mr. Clean.

Throughout it all, Obama looks more and more presidential as his opponents’ desperation mounts.
