John McCain + ABBA = Love?

[senorcorazon]

From Harper's Weekly:

"Senator John McCain promised workers at Thompson Center Arms, a small-weapons factory in Rochester, New Hampshire, that he would "follow Osama Bin Laden to the gates of hell" and "shoot him with your products." McCain also promised that if he were elected "the background music would be ABBA in the elevators all over the White House" and proposed "Take a Chance on Me" as his campaign song. "

Two questions:
- Does that mean McCain is going to hell?
- What ABBA songs would mayubanatorial candidates pick?

I've already selected my campaign song. I hope to unveil it on a future show.

Let me guess is it Scarlet Begonias>Fire On The Mountain from 5-8-77

or will you be going the edgy route with Wharf Rat

No, Bruce, but now that Bryce has entered the fray with the potential to split the Deadhead vote, I am considering burning copies of the Charlie Miller remaster of 5/8/77 for distribution at my public appearances (i. e. when I'm waiting for the bus).

Fixed.

Seriously, is this for real? The one part that I don't buy is that he actually said he'll shoot Bin Laden with "your products." That's crazy.

I know Tom talked about it on last show with a caller but I hadn't heard the elevator music part.

 It was mentioned on The Colbert Report last night, so it must be true.

I already miss baseball.
