John McCain's a fan of Usher? Someone needs to ask him to sing one of his songs as a measure of verification. Until he tells a reporter he wants to make love in this club, I'm not believing a word of it. He claims he got into Usher, an active Barack Obama supporter, when they were on Saturday Night Live together.

"Very talented. Very good," McCain said of Usher to the Pioneer Press. "And I'm usually not into that brand of music, but I watched him rehearse, and I watched him twice. And I was very impressed. I got one (Usher CD). Actually, my daughter, Meghan, likes him, and she got it for me."

On the same trip to SNL, John McCain met Young Jeezy, who was less than impressed.

"I told him the 'hood was f**ked up, and he was like, 'How you doing?'" Jeezy told MTV.com. "Real talk. They know entertainers, so they shake your hand [and say], 'I'm your friend.' But my mama is about to have surgery that I gotta pay for out of my pocket because she can't get insurance. I don't really feel McCain. It ain't just because Barack is black; he can make change. Just like Bush equals recession, Barack equals progression. I really feel that, all bullsh** aside. He's gotta come in and keep it right. I be in the 'hood every day, and I motivate the thugs. [Barack] motivates me."

Barack is the candidate that motivates the thug motivator? McCain dodged a bullet with that one. [EUR]
