John McCain Being EcoFriendly, Do You Buy It?
 Thursday, May 15th, 2008

Unswayed by the leaps in converts to the Democratic Party this year, and also by the million or so voters just tacked on for Ron Paul, Senator John McCain's campaign is stepping it up a notch and embracing "green" stuff. Not to be outdone by climate change references in the Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama campaigns, McCain's campaign manager Rick Davis announced new "Eco Friendly Clothes" this week.

In an e-mail to "Team McCain," Davis relayed that the McCain camp is promoting a "long-term commitment to providing market-based solutions to climate change and highlighting ways we can all protect our environment," by doing what? Why, changing McCain's blue logo to a grassy color (complete with water droplets), and selling "eco-friendly" John McCain shirts made of biodegradable fabric. Now that will solve global warming, folks.

Oh, and there are organic cotton hats and shopping bags, and mugs and notebooks made from recycled materials.

Dude, we've been offering tote bags since forever, but there are still more plastic bags in the world than when we started...anyway, what of the new Green McCain? Do you buy it?
