OK, fun's fun, but if you don't know what this is about, see "McCain's lettuce-picking remarks yield unwanted green" (link):

As he steered his Straight Talk Express across the United States in recent weeks, Republican Sen. John McCain has tried to stay a-head of the immigration issue. But Friday the immigration issue delivered 36 or so heads to his Phoenix office โ€” heads of lettuce, that is... McCain has been getting skewered in the media for comments earlier this month to a union group in Washington, D.C., that immigrants are taking jobs no one else wants, and offered them $50 an hour to pick lettuce in the Arizona sun for a summer, suggesting they couldn't do it... The senator didn't stick around long enough to process any applications, despite several offers to take him up on his offer from the audience...

Comments

Why doesn't McCain let our lettuce picking jobs be outsourced to other countries and spend his time keeping our high value jobs here.

McCain may have to apply for the position of head lettuce in the brainwashed vegetables department one summer's day.
