Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) wished actor Rainn Wilson good luck on his Emmy nomination on Twitter today. Wilson plays Dwight Schrute, a sycophantic and quirky sales executive, on NBC’s “The Office.”
Here is the exchange between Wilson and McCain:
Hey, twitterverse, I just got an Emmy nomination!
@rainnwilson congratulations and hope you win!!
Thanks, senator! Hi to Meg! RT @SenJohnMcCain: @rainnwilson congratulations and hope you win!!
Wilson was nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series.
Question for conspiracy theorists/cynics: Is McCain just trying to get himself a ticket to the awards show?
