John McCain to play PC in new Mac commercials

Whether after four years or eight, there are plenty of options for an ex-President to keep themselves busy. Some hit the motivational circuit (Bill Clinton is said to earn $250,000 a speech). Harry S. Truman, among many others, received a $670,000 deal for his two-volume memoirs. But what of ex-Presidential candidates like John McCain? Some continue their political careers after losing an election. Some even survive to run for President again. But for all intents and purposes, the water in John McCain's Presidential well has run dry. There have been many speculations as to what he will do. He could turn to his deal-brokering ways with the added stature of having been his party's most recent presidential nominee, serve the role of the loyal opposition to the Obama presidency or simply play out the string for the next two years and retire in 2010.
I personally think McCain should explore an acting career. He would be great as PC in the Mac vs. PC commercials. I think it's a perfect fit. They both had their moment in the sun, and now they're both outdated.
PC is always trying to come up with some gimmick to fool consumers into buying a PC. Doesn't that remind you of McCain's choice of Palin as Vice President? If that's not a gimmick I don't know what is.
And once PC realizes that you aren't buying his gimmicks, he tries to convince you that he's just as hip, cool and in touch with you as Mac is. From the beginning Obama's mantra has been Change. Once McCain realized that's what people were looking for, and that he was percived as a Bush clone, he adopted the Maverick tag. Translation: "Hey, me too. I'm different." And then there was the time PC taped a camera to his head showing that he had the same features as Mac. And what about the new commercials that feature Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Gates? They even hired Crispin Borter + Bogusky to do their advertising. I guess if you can't beat 'em, join 'em, right?
Ultimately, I think John McCain is the personification of PC and would be a perfect fill in if the guy who normally plays him gets sick. I'm John McCain, and I'm a PC.
