Fred Mertz

Maureen Dowd's NY Times column today describes John McCain as "pea-green with envy" over the attention and adoration given to Barack Obama. The article quotes a Senate colleague as saying about McCain,
“His image of himself was always the handsome, celebrity flyboy. Now somebody else is the celebrity,” the colleague continued, "while John looks in the mirror and sees his face marred by skin cancer and looks at the TV and sees his dashing self-image replaced by visions of William Frawley. . ."



I'm pea-green with envy that I didn't make the Fred Mertz-McCain connection.

After further reflection, I've come up with some suggestions for a potential Mertz administration which would markedly improve upon today's lot.
