Speaking with Brian Williams, John McCain helpfully clarified who comprises fake America:
Well, in our nation's capital and New York City. I've seen it. I've lived there. I know the town. I know-- I know what a lot of these elitists are. The ones that she never went to a cocktail party with in Georgetown. I'll be very frank with you. Who think that they can dictate what they believe to America rather than let Americans decide for themselves.Adam Serwer responds:
This is fantastic news for Americans, who erroneously believed they had been attacked on 9/11. In reality, the only areas that were attacked were the elitist provinces of Fake America and the 2,998 Americans who lost their lives that day are faux American elitists who don't actually count. Sure, the Pentagon is technically in Northern Virginia, but that area has previously been identified by McCain campaign officials as "not real."Osama bin Laden meanwhile, must be terribly frustrated to learn that he in fact, missed. No one can be more confused than the Taliban, who are probably wondering why we invaded Afghanistan since Real America wasn't attacked.Meanwhile, I suggest a new campaign slogan: Real Country First.
