Turing Test for Potential Wax Anderoid

Listening to John McCain on "Fresh Air" I am once again tempted to believe in his existence as an autonomous biological entity. But when I cast my mind back to the betrayal of John Kerry, membership in the Keating Five, and a variety of his ultra-right positions, I always have to return to the default assumption that he is in fact a wax anderoid. Isn't that always the safest and most reasonable position to take in evaluating national political figures-- go down the list and see if it doesn't work. (McCain is now saying he would never look back in anger at Bush smearing his adopted daughter as the product his consorting with a black prostitute. No actual human could say that.) Incidentally, we can thank Linda Tripp and Ken Starr for solid evidence of Bill Clinton's membership in the biological community, since they carefully documented the emission of his precious bodily fluid (incidentally, Starr should think about getting into the porn industry, becauase parts of that report are HOT!)

Anyway, my central point is not the obvious one that most of our elected leaders are made of wax and controlled remotely by advanced electronics. Instead, I submit that, given their ubiquity, we may rationally choose to accept our waxen brethren on the theory that, if their output is sufficiently similar to that of biological humans, that's good enough. This modified Turing Test would allow a vote for John McCain on the theory that, if he's wax anderoid, at least the person holding the RC is smarter and more creative than most.

Oops.... McCain just failed the test:

"The reason I have the popularity I have is because I don't say things with a wink and a nod ... I campaigned for President Bush for reelection because I know the transcendent issue for the election of 2004 was who is best equipped to win the war on terrorism, and I sincerely believe that person is President Bush."
