ROMPE! ROMPE! ROMPE! John McCain?
Daddy Yankee officially endorsed John McCain on Monday, and he actually accepted. I shit you not: (warning: McCain looks hilariously awkward and uncomfortable in this video)

Wow, that’s really hip of John McCain. I didn’t know he likes Puerto Ricans. But I’m confused…
How can supporting a racist white guy boost or help maintain Daddy Yankee’s street cred? And, how could accepting the endorsement of a raunchy reggaeton singer have a positive impact on McCain’s campaign? After all, wasn’t guilt-by-association a major theme of the primaries?
Also, I know McCain is trying to appeal to young voters, but since when has the TRL-vote counted for much? And if it’s Spanish-speaking people he’s trying to target, couldn’t he find a better role model than Daddy Yankee?
By the way, Quiqui — doesn’t the chorus of one of Yankee’s songs translate to “Butt hole! Butt hole! Butt hole!” Maybe McCain should blast that from the Straight Talk Express…
It’s times like these I wish Narcel X was still around to make such things seem relevant (well, kind of relevant. Ok, not really.)

Update: Fadi has just informed me that Daddy Yankee actually approached the Obama camp first, asking if Barack would accept an endorsement. After Barack rejected him, he turned to McCain. So much for that He endorses him for his awesome stance on immigration argument. It’s amazing what someone will do to transform his 15 minutes of fame into 16. Oh well, at least he knows who’s running.
