Thurston
Howell III endorses John McCain

Noted
billionaire Thurston Howell III of "Gilligan’s Island"
fame has thrown his support behind Sen. John MCain for president.

A Harvard-educated, East Coast elitist, Mr. Howell cited
Sen. McCain’s pledge to continue President Bush’s tax cuts
for the wealthiest 1 percent and said he feared Sen. Barack
Obama’s "mumbo jumbo" about alternative energy "could
cost me billions in oil revenue."

"McCain is a Navy man," said. Mr. Howell. "After
what he’s been through, this little Wall Street meltdown doesn’t
scare John McCain. And believe me, I know about spending years
as a prisoner being tormented by tedious companions."
