McCain-Schrute 2008?

Could Dwight Schrute be just the man John McCain needs to help him win the White House? During an appearance on The Daily Show, the presumptive Republican nominee joked about naming the character from NBC's The Office as his running mate.

"You heard it hear first: Dwight Schrute," McCain said of the brown-nosing sycophant played by Rainn Wilson. "Doesn't he do a great job for Michael Scott?"

• Jon Stewart questioned McCain on whether President Bush was a bigger liability for his campaign than Rev. Jeremiah Wright is for Obama. Calling Bush a "religious zealot," Stewart asked McCain whether he would take the opportunity to repudiate and denounce him. McCain pretended to walk off the set, then fiddled with his mic and said he was having "technical difficulties." (Watch video clip)

• Jon Stewart speculated about what McCain's Secret Service code name might be -- McDreamy? McSteamy? Grumplestiltskin? – but McCain said, "I think mine is 'Jerk.'"
