Due to injuries sustained in the Vietnam war Republican presidential hopeful John McCain is unable to raise his hands above his head. This could prove to be a bit of a snag should McCain be voted into the oval office in November. After all, what sort of wave could he give whilst standing on top of the steps outside Air Force One? Would a pronating conjuror really look the part? This is assuming that he survives the bad taste jibe of his Democrat opponent in the run up to the election. Namely, Clinton or Obama addressing a rally with the words “and who do you want as the next president of the United States? A celebrated war hero or someone who can do this?” before lurching their upper limbs skyward in the style of David Beckham after scoring a thirty yard screamer. Still, at least the guy can console himself with having invented oven chips.
