..Former presidential candidate and Arizona Sen. John McCain will join Sen. Barbara Boxer and Sen. Olympia Snowe as guest stars on the show when the regular crew heads to Washington, D.C., during season 5.
..According to the Hollywood Reporter, the bipartisan episode - titled "Ms. Knope Goes to Washington" - is expected to debut on September 27
..McCain tweeted a photo of himself on set with Poehler on July 19 along with the caption, "Had a great time shooting @ParksandRecNBC today w/ Amy Poehler – I think it's an Emmy!"

I think its just awesome that John McCain has so many friends in the media and hollywood. He sounds very excited about his upcoming cameo. You see, rabble rousers like Michelle Bachmann will never get on these "bipartisan" sitcom shows to play the "Republican" because they don't know how to play nice with the in crowd like the gracious senior Senator from Arizona.

It would seem that Parks and Recreation is one of the most watched shows by self-identified "Liberal-Democratic". That's also a testament to the Senator's ability to reach across the aisle and entertain those who are "good people" who he just happens to disagree with on most a few issues.

Amazing how Democrats love Republicans after they lose elections, same happened with Bob Dole, suddenly they all loved him.

McCain attacks a conservative and gets a guest spot among his liberal friends.

Nice huh?

OMG, they think they are Sarah Palin.

“Ron Swanson” on Parks & Recreation might be the greatest Conservative/Libertarian character in the history of TV.

“I have been developing the Swanson Pyramid of Greatness for years. It’s a perfectly calibrated recipe for maximum personal achievement. Categories include: Capitalism, God’s way of determining who is smart, and who is poor. Crying, acceptable at funerals and the Grand Canyon. Rage. Poise. Property rights. Fish, for sport only, not for meat. Fish meat is practically a vegetable.”

Did (or will) McQweeg (aka Captain Clueless) appear as a hairball or as a dirtbag?

So he’ll get to hang out with all of the cool hollywood types who will laugh at him behind his clueless, approval seeking back after he leaves.

There is only two things McCain loves, himself and a camera.

Amazing he would lower himself to that level of crap, but then he’s a politician so it shouldn’t be that surprising I guess. I think I watched that show maybe only 2-3 times (too many) because my adult, liberal daughter loved it.

"Politics: acting for ugly people" applies here.

Don't you remember when he appeared on Seinfeld?

[slumber1]

He should go on South Park since he’s already a cartoon character

[pieceofthepuzzle]

I’m sorry, but I have the hardest time not believing that McCain was compromised at some point in the past and is a plant of sorts. I know that makes me sound like a conspiracy nut, but to me there’s just too much that doesn’t make any sense.

[Harley]

Is he going on to push his let’s go to war with Syria stance?

You had me at “meat tornado.”
