With Sen. John McCain again being praised in surprising corners for blocking the repeal of the Affordable Care Act, we were reminded of another McCain yielded unusual support: the 2008 formation of the "McCain Girls."
"Campaign is rising / Obama's getting low / According to our sources / McCain should get the vote" is just one example of the cringe-inducing, non-clairvoyant lyrics.
Barely altering the original lyrics, the three woman held an umbrella and sang, "Hallelujah, it's raining McCain / Amen / I'm going to go out, and let myself get / absolutely John McCain."
Using terrible computer graphics, images of McCain fall down like rain, and one woman splashes her face with them.
As the Times reported, "Many viewers called the videos cringe-inducing, but at least one person was receptive. 'I think they’re wonderful,' Mr. McCain said on the Fox News Channel last week. 'I have watched that video several times.'"

And by "singing," we are being very charitable."Campaign is rising / Obama's getting low / According to our sources / McCain should get the vote" is just one example of the cringe-inducing, non-clairvoyant lyrics.

The McCain Girls, Created By Jon Benjamin
If this video seems too awful to be real, you're right. It was an elaborate prank. Several days after the video's release, the New York Times reported, "The creators of the McCain Girls turn out to be the comedy team behind 23/6" led by actor and comedian Jon BenjaminAs the Times reported, "Many viewers called the videos cringe-inducing, but at least one person was receptive.
