...where he gave away a "woodie"

Care to explain?

Proxmire gave away his "golden fleece" award to distract from the milk/cheese/mohair/agriculture subsidies.

What was McCain trying to do?

I'm talking about the guy who wrote the article, Grant Woods. He gave away "woodie" awards on his radio show.

I didn't like him because it was pretty obvious he got on the air from some kind of local political wrangling, and replaced a guy I liked, Bob Mohan (ex Navy A4 driver)
