Senator John McCain Inadvertently Finds Self in Midst of Independent Sources Reality Show “SMS Dispatches from Las Vegas”
What kind of shooter is John McCain anyway?
Those of you following “SMS Dispatches from Las Vegas” already know that Senator John McCain walked up and joined a craps game at the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas this evening with Stallion and Beng–friends of Hagar, our reality star, who is letting us follow him around his Las Vegas week-end via SMS dispatches. As Stallion and Beng waited for Hagar, Senator McCain joined them on a craps table that at times was quite hot. However, and unfortunately for all at the table, McCain’s Senatorial experience did not help him with his roll. He went down in two.
Here is how Stallion describes the scene:
“Nice enough guy. Whatever. No passes, no numbers, just 7 and out. In a word, grimness. Twice in a row! Wore a suit. Polite but not overtly friendly to the pathetic losers who gave a sh*t. Pass the dice next time Senator.”
Personally I think it’s good for a presidential candidate to like playing the dice:
-
Accepts risk.
Understands odds.
Willing to bet on himself.
Can operate in a fast paced environment.
Can stand for long periods of time without sitting.
That said, I do agree with Stallion that after two horrendous rolls the guy should just pass the dice. The people at that table already pay enough in taxes that they don’t need to get dinged by a Senator who can’t make a point.
Update: Sunday afternoon in Las Vegas. Stallion sent us this note:
Just when you thouht the weekend was over. Hagar has departed for the airport, Stallion and filly dial in to the Cafe Bellagio. And guess who’s back…McCain!

Reasons why McCain is an embarassment: 1. The only people who should wear suits in Vegas are the Pit Bosses. It’s 108 degrees, jackass! 2. Six years in the Hanoi Hilton and you couldn’t find time to teach yourself to roll dice? 3. Photo shows he only has about five chips in his tray. Dude, either kamikaze that baby stack or reach for the wallet and buy some reinforcements. 4. He continues to french-kiss Bush’s hairy behind because he would rather be President than be right. Way to sell out, cap’n. See you in the buffet line.
