McCain Defends Chili Bib Flip-Flop

CINCINNATI - While John McCain was in Cincinnati last weekend, he sampled some of Cincinnati's famous Skyline Chili, and exposed yet another flip-flop in his stance on the use of a chili bib.

"At first, Senator McCain thought Cincinnati chili was too messy, so messy that it requires a bib," said Mayor Mallory, "But ol'  flip-flop McCain broke his word to protect his shirt and tie, and later removed the bib."

"Next thing, you're going to tell me that he changed his position on veteran's benefits," added Mallory.

"My friends, I was for the chili bib before I was against it," said McCain at a press conference this weekend, "I had ordered my 3-way 'wet', but as you can see from the photos, my 3-way was definitely not wet. I think the American people can appreciate the need for flexibility under changing circumstances."

Nevertheless, political analysts believe that that this new ambiguity could hurt the candidate who once had a reputation for being a straight talker. Which McCain would voters see in a McCain presidency - the chili bib McCain, or the beef-splattered shirt  McCain?
