“I’m the only real gangsta in this election! Let’s see that oreo Barack represent up in here now!”
John McCain

Trinity Church of Christ, Chicago, 6/8/08 - Having accepted an offer from the Rev. Jeremiah Wright to address the congregation, Republican presidential hopeful, Senator John McCain caused a near-riot today when he approached the pulpit attired in gangster rapper garb.

Members of the church security staff scuffled briefly with U.S. Secret Service Agents as both groups attempted to remove the Arizona Senator from the altar while congregation members expressed their displeasure with the would-be speaker with vociferous shouts of indignation that included references to Senator McCain’s ancestors and his personal reproductive preferences.

The move was seen by political pundits as a bold albeit misguided attempt to bolster his popularity amongst African-Americans, young voters, and elements of the criminal sub-culture — all groups with which he is trailing badly in the polls.

As he was being physically removed from the church, McCain shouted, “I’m the only real gangsta in this election! Let’s see that oreo Barack represent up in here now!”

An anonymous source within the McCain campaign told Fox News that image make-over was the candidate’s own idea, and included a memo instructing staffers to publicly refer to him as, “Mac Daddy” or “Ice Pops.”

Senator Obama was unavailable for comment, but an unnamed source close to the campaign told CNN that it was a pleasant departure from stereotype to see old Republicans trying to hang themselves for change.
