Seven Dwarves? WTF?

So you ask yourself "Self, why does someone obsessed with politics want to talk about 7 vertically-challenged guys who live together and have a who-knows-what relationship with each other and with a pretty lady?"

There is a political angle.

Every time John McCain appears on TV I think of that Silly 7. I don't know if he has allergies, and he's certainly no 'Doc,' but I ask myself "which other dwarf will be popping out of the Geezer's chest today?"

• Sleepy? He's been photographed snoozing through important business in the Senate.
• Happy? Well, he laughs at his own jokes, but little else. He is a dark person, one who sees only malevolence in the world. It's hard to be happy when you distill everything down to us vs. them.
  
• Dopey? [ Nah, too easy ]
  
• Grumpy? Probably.
• Bashful? Not likely. McCain certainly is never bashful - especially about avoiding reality and those pesky facts.

Mavericky? Not since he declared his candidacy for Prez.

Pandery? Bet on it. In fact, bet on a two-fer where pandery joins forces with one of the frightful five of the silly seven.

Quickie!

Without looking it up, name the 7 Dwarves¹.

¹The plural form dwarfs has been traced to the 17th century. The alternative plural dwarves has been recorded in the early 18th century, but was not generally accepted until used by philologist J. R. R. Tolkien in his fantasy novel The Hobbit." Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwarf

Sleepy, Sneezy, Happy, Dopey, Grumpy, Doc, and Bashful
