When we first saw the words ENCLOSED: PRESIDENTIAL PHOTOGRAPH emblazoned across the front of the envelope in bold red letters, we thought Sen. McCain was being just a tad premature. I mean, he hasn't even been elected yet!
But it turns out that he meant this "Presidential Photograph":
The caption reads:My friend, this photo with President Reagan is one of my personal favorites. It is my pleasure to share it with you. I thank you for your support.Whenever we receive fund-raising letters from causes or campaigns that we'd rather drink dirty ditchwater than support, we like to return all the stuff they sent us — including the envelope it came in — and using their own postage-paid "Business Reply" envelope!
Best wishes,
John McCain
But this time we did something a little different. I didn't want to confuse Baghdad John's campaign volunteers. ("Huh? Why'd they use our return envelope to send us back everything we sent them, but with no flippin' money? Oh well ... break time!") So instead, in completely feigned appreciation for Sen. McCain sending us one of his "personal favorite" photos, we returned the favor by sending this photo to the McCain campaign (in their postage-aid envelope, of course):
Included was this brief letter of explanation:
Dear McCain Campaign:
Thank you for the photo of Sen. McCain with President Reagan.
In gratitude, it is our pleasure to share with you this photo of Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) with President Reagan. Even though we live in Phoenix, AZ, we consider Rep. Paul to be our congressman. (It's a liberty thing. You wouldn't understand.)
Incidentally, we hope you'll do two things for us:
1) Next time you see Sen. McCain, tell him we said that he needs to find honest work in the private sector; and
2) consider ditching that overspending, gun-grabbing, liberty-killing warmonger ... and come volunteer instead for Ron Paul's campaign!
Yours for peace and liberty,
Frank [lastname]

Nice to see Dr Paul with the greatest President ever. Did he keep asking which Beatle he was?

You made me laugh out loud with the "it's our pleasure to share this photo" comment.
Incidentally, I just changed planes in Phoenix a couple weeks ago, at which time it was brought to my attention that Barry Goldwater and son were/are from Arizona. Junior is supposedly supporting Paul. Not that that has anything to do with your post, but I figured I'd say it anyways.
