I'm Thinking Of Adding Barack Obama As My Running Mate
Edited on Mon Mar-10-08 01:21 PM by Jeff In Milwaukee
Granted, I don't have any delegates to speak of, but I think having Barak as my running mate would be an asset to our ticket.

I know what you're thinking -- "That's darned nice of Jeff in Milwaukee to give Obama a great opportunity like that."

I know. It's incredibly magnanimous of me.

Edited -- because some pinhead thinks I should spell peoples' names correctly. Jesus, being a smart-ass is a fulltime job -- I don't have time to spell things right!

4. You just made the short list for Secretary of State...
We're serving Mrs. Paul's fish sticks at all state dinners. Just so you're prepared.

11. Oh, Let's not EVEN go there...
I know you're kidding and YOU know you're kidding. But sometimes DU is the most humorless place on Earth.

13. Maybe you are right......

Just trying to make a point of the absurdity of this "offer" by going to extremes. THe crazy thing is, that the offer is so insulting on its face, it is almost difficult to exaggerate.

15. It reminds me of the Holy Grail and the Black Knight
"OK, We'll call it a draw."

9. I'm sure Alan Keyes is available...
That would be the appropriate place on the political food chain for Ralph.

12. Don't forget shopping mall ribbon-cutting ceremonies...
Tom Lehrer's take, circa 1967:

Whatever became of Hubert?
Has anyone heard a thing?
Once he shone on his own,
Now he sits home alone,
And waits for the phone to ring.

Once a fiery liberal spirit,
Ah, but now when he speaks he must clear it.
Second fiddle’s a hard part, I know,
When they don’t even give you a bow.

We must protest his treatment, hubert,
Says each newspaper reader.
As someone remarked to Schubert,
Take us to your lieder.

Whatever became of Hubert?
We miss you, so tell us please.
Are you sad? are you cross? are you gathering moss
While you wait for the boss to sneeze?

Does Lyndon, recalling when he was VP,
Say, I’ll do unto you like they did unto me?
Do you dream about staging a coup?
Hubert, what happened to you?

17. I will absolutely do that during the first 100 days of the Jeff in Milwaukee Administration...
And by then, my hope is that you will sober up and have forgotten all about it.

Barak Bean Feast?!
