MCCAIN ROLLS BRAND NEW CAMPAIGN BUS INTO COLUMBIA
From what I can tell, the advance preparations for tomorrow’s campaign visit by GOP presidential nominee Sen. John McCain are fully underway. And that includes the arrival of the brand spankin’ new Straight Talk Express pictured above in all its glory.
The Palmetto Scoop of course was privy to an inside peak at the second version of McCain’s signature campaign bus, and let me tell you, that baby is sweet. Everything from the blinds to the doors was remote controlled and I counted five flat-screen plasma televisions and probably 300 cups of Starbucks coffee.
What a long way he has come since the 2000 Straight Talk Express or even from last year’s model. I heard rumors that the current version cost upwards of $1 million, but I can’t confirm that.
Anyway, here are a few more shots:

This presidential campaign is some big show probably designed to distract more people from more real issues. Has anyone at all thought about the fact the trillions of bucks being spent by candidates trying to buy their next job would have provided healthcare to all Americans for a year? Could have saved the mortgage/housing crisis? Could supplement the gas execs so other Americans could afford to drive their cars and heat their homes next winter?
I’m happy John McCain has a big new bus but come on ya’ll…….
Nope, there’s absolutely nothing elitist about that bus.
