Heart-attack on the hustings



Presidential hopeful John McCain has shocked the Obama camp by performing a heart-attack on the hustings.

‘They make out that I’m an old timer ready to pop his clogs. They say Sarah is just a heart-beat away from the Presidency. Well I can tell you, that really is –'

At this point Mr McCain broke off, apparently having a seizure. He gripped his chest as the assembley held its breath, but a moment later he sprang back to full animation shouting repeatedly ‘fooled ya’ and laughing uproariously.

The audience went wild.

‘This guy here’s a funny. Obamer smiles a lot, but what’s he smiling at? I haven’t heard him do any jokes. This here McCain has a sense of humour.’

The stunt has done much to reduce Mr Obama’s four point lead, which has all but vanished as the McCain clip spread across news stations in America.
