Why did McCain use...?

Question

Meg Whitman as someone he'd turn to for advice when he had so many other friends during his lifetime. Creating Ebay is great, but Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel.

Answer 1

Given all the pandering he's done during the interview, I'm surprised he didn't say he'd turn to his friend Jesus Christ.  

Answer 2

Michelangelo stopped paying his dues to the Young Reoublican Club Treasurer, so they disolved all association with him~!
