Eat Drink McCain Woman

So, pundits left and right are falling all over each other to explain McCain's running-mate choice. Who knew he was such a fan of Taiwanese family dramedies? The whole thing's such an obvious reference to Eat Drink Man Woman. You've got the old man looking for a new lease on life, a fellow gray-hair cozying up to him, a "family" watching the patriarch's moves with some trepidation, and an ending that sends them -- and the audience -- reeling! Starring John McCain as Master Chef Chu, Condoleeza Rice as dutiful daughter Jia-Chien, George W. Bush as Coach Ming-Dao, Sarah Palin as hot soccer mom Jin-Rong ... and, of course, Joe Lieberman as Madame Liang.
