The McCain Girls Bring More Precipitation

Not long ago we met the McCain Girls, whose pro-McCain video "It's Raining McCain," (a parody of the Weather Girl's 1982 hit "It's Raining Men") allowed us to laugh a little while at the same time feel horrible about life.

After a brief hiatus, during which the lead McCain Girl voiced her displeasure with the haters out there, the Three Conservateers return with an even glossier, even richer, even flatter and more awful number that parodies the Eurythmics 1984 hit "Here Comes the Rain Again." Featuring gorgeous Scottish vistas, black halter tops and enough vanilla candles to give you a migraine, "Here Comes McCain Again" lulls us into a stupor with lyrics like, "Talk to me/Like McCain does/Talk to me/Like voters do."

But before we even begin to watch, we have to wonder what's next? Bob Dylan's "A Hard McCain's Gonna Fall," the Who's "Love, McCain Over Me," or CCR's "Have You Ever Seen McCain?" Or, will the McCain Girls surprise us with something like "Driving That Train, High on McCain?" You just never know.
