Republican Candidate Concerned Incessant Self Reference As Maverick Not Enough
Dallas, TX - The McCain campaign confirmed Friday that John McCain has successfully negotiated the purchase of the Dallas Mavericks basketball team from billionare Dancing With the Stars reject Mark Cuban.
"The purchase of the Dallas Mavericks was a maverick move by the original maverick, John McCain," said his chief strategist, Rick Maver. "Now not only does he have another maverick, Sarah Palin, working for him, but also a 12-man roster of Mavericks."
Aides say McCain, who has been referring to himself as a maverick in every public speaking appearance since February, wasn't certain that his continuous use of his self-ascribed nickname was enough for Americans to realize that he, in fact, is known as a maverick in the political arena and felt the purchase of the Dallas Mavericks was the next logical step.
When asked why he purchased an NBA franchise despite knowing virtually nothing about basketball, McCain simply replied, "Maverick mavericks maverick, maverick," adding, "Maverick."
Asked if she thought the maverick move to purchase the Mavericks would provide the McCain campaign with a boost, Palin winked and responded, "You betcha."
