Presidential campaigns are often fraught with speculation, but Meghan McCain has stretched the limits of credulity with a fictional debate transcript pitting Charlie Sheen against former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin in the 2012 presidential election.
McCain’s Daily Beast article, which was removed from the site but is still up on Yahoo! News, envisioned a hypothetical scenario in which Sheen defeated President Obama in the Democratic primary and faced Palin in the general election. She lampooned both, mocking the catchphrases of the out-of-control actor and the folksy mannerisms and perceived cluelessness of her father’s former running mate.
In some of the more memorable lines, Sheen claimed he would pump the economy “full of tiger’s blood,” and Palin said she loved America for its “Freedom and Ronald Reagan and Freedom.”
In the end, flabbergasted moderator Rachel Maddow said she was moving to Canada to avoid living in a country where either candidate could be president.
