Yeah, even if it weren't April 1 it's really hard to imagine that it would be worth his time much less the people from the republican base he'd turn off.

Oh well.

JEZZZZUSSSS!!!

I fell for it for about 20 seconds until I realized the date.

Ignoring the great spoof, perhaps McCain should take time out and roll the Straight Talk Express right on into BRC. Talk about getting some media attention...it's a win win for McCain and the event!

Actually I heard Hillary was gonna show up too but she decided not to after she heard that there was sniper fire and roadside bombs.

I was pretty sure it was an April Fool after reading into the second paragraph, after which I just giggled a lot. And just to be sure that there would be no doubt confusion, they included that over-the-top touch with the "Heightened Security Measures" posting.

I have to admit, though, that a part of me is a bit sad that I won't have the opportunity to walk up to Sen. and Mrs. McCain and offer a handshake while wearing only shoes and socks...

I thought this was going to be a political thread about a possible McCain presidency. That scares me a lot more than him possibly attending the event then later declaring the law enforcement surge started last year was working, with a marked decrease in naked people and things on fire.

The possible McCain presidency scares me as well.

50,000 burners are worth his time? How many of the Republican base will he alienate by attending this sex, drugs and art fest? Satanic to boost?

It took only the headline to tip me off.

Yeah, it has a snowball's chance in hell but occasionally hell does freeze over. And considering they've already had US Senators out there, it's not that much of a stretch to have that bus show up out there. It is BRC after all...strange things can and do happen on the playa!

"And considering they've already had US Senators out there"

Wow which senators and what years? Did they bring all of their little secret service guys with them?

LOL

I can't believe that anyone is even entertaining the notion of this being true. Just look at the last paragraph where they say that they are taking every possible security measure, "caution tape". LOL You guys did know that gullible is not in the dictionary right?

I think what happened was a lot of people read the title but didn't read the article.

A lot of politicians show up.
They stay in the halliburton compound with the black fence a few blocks off the esplanade.
Anyone can wear a disguise.
How many places can you say that about if you are well known?

I saw McCain at last years burn. His face was in the fire ball from crude awakening.

The identity of the Senators....like many of the comings and goings at First Camp remain a mystery. Not that inquiring minds haven't tried asking.

I wonder how shocked people'd be to know that there's a lot of the 'Republican base' wandering around BRC already

and they don't have badges

Don't worry, he's got a deep racial hatred for Obama and it will come out in the debates.
