John McCain has had 72 years to come up with a campaign slogan and design, and the best he can do is steal from the new edition? Wack!

I would like to suggest, "Where'd my dip go? No, the onion dip! Well, it didn't just get up and walk away!"
This is what they did in 2000. Tried to position Bush as close to Gore as possible. It only worked that time because many moderates where disgusted with the mess in the Clinton White House.
It's even the same damn font and design aesthetic!
Not cool, John McCain...not cool at all.
I suggest this as his new slogan: “We can’t bust heads like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to tell them stories that don’t go anywhere. Like that time I took the ferry over to Shelbyville; I needed a new heel for my shoe. So, I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on them. ‘Give me five bees for a quarter,’ you’d say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn’t have any white onions, because of the war; the only thing you can get was those big yellow ones.” - Grandpa Simpson
suebob this is friggin hilarious!
My friend Joe likes that onion story and can recite it from memory. Joe's a firefigher, even though he started late. I remember one time he said he was late and he had to skateboard because, I'm not sure why, his bike was broken or he'd lost the key to the lock or something and maybe he didn't have a car at the time, though I thought he had that band Billy Jack used to play shows in Talent and Boring and Drain and whatnot, so he grabbed his skateboard and tore off down an alley and some kids saw him and yelled "Poser!" and first he started to get mad but then he laughed because he was one of the first guys to skate here in town and in fact The Jazz Greats billed themselves as the only band that was...no wait, that was "pound for pound the heaviest band in town." Anyway.
Sorry what onion story?
