You liked the movie, Senator?
Blog Guy, what’s the deal with John McCain’s thumbs? Is that left over from when he was a movie critic on that Ebert and McCain show?
No, but that’s a good guess. I believe the candidate is making a visual reference to the days when his campaign was very low on money and he had to hitchhike everyplace.
Even today, after a rally, he holds his thumb out for a ride, and seems surprised when a big black limo always stops to pick him up.
