Fun With Play-Dough

Fun with Politics (29)

I want to see McCain piss of more journalists. If he really has that temper that we’ve heard so much about, let’s bring it out. I urge all journalists to compile a list of questions that are sure to get him hot under the Republican collar. I want yelling and screaming; I want to see journalist getting thrown off the McCain-Plane, I want to see foaming at the mouth and hear bad, very bad, language. CNN doesn’t get to beep things out often enough; let’s spice things up a little!

Ron Paul has acknowledged that he may not be headed to the White House. I think he’s giving up to easily; he’s got plenty of chances left to make it there. Buck up, little camper, I’m sure they always need window washers, and have you seen how much lawn there is around the Presidential palace? That grass needs to be cared for, and I can’t think of a better, more stand-up guy, to drive that lawn mower.

Oh, and Ms. Samantha Power, it’s Mrs. Monster, to you.  Enjoy your vacation. Don’t worry, all you need to do is lay low for a while, and then you can apply for the “Surreal Life”. I hear it’s a blast.

Meantime, I’m worried about Huckabee going so out of his way to insist that he is “not sitting by the phone”. If you’re not sitting by the phone, why are you sitting in the studio explaining why? This smells.

More and more potential candidates for the Republican V.P. are being brought into the discussion. Governors everywhere are craning their necks, trying to catch McCain’s attention. (Pick me! Pick me!) I would like to add a few suggestions of my own. These are names of people that might help raise his profile, are certain to increase his popularity, and will help him appeal to those voters that are still on the fence. They would also help him get more press. I don’t know why no one’s thought of nominating these.

• Rosie O’Donnell
• Paris Hilton
• Flea or Anthony Kiedis. Either would be great.
• Fozzie Bear
• John Wayne Bobbitt
• That She-Bang guy from American Idol
• Dr. Phil
• Crocodile Dundee
• Chris Tucker (he’s really good for sound bites)
• The Lead singer of Echo and the Bunnymen
• The Pillsbury Doughboy
• Webster
• Kinky Friedman
• Colonel Sanders
• Any of the Teletubbies, but not the purple one because of past scandal.
• The Olson twins (it would have to be both)
• All three Girls Next Door
• Steven Seagal
• Dora the Explorer
• Omarosa
• Mr. Clean
• Donald Trump (finally, that you’re fired! line can be put to good use)
• My Cat

I can’t wait to see who’s going to make it to the finish line!

The Republicans seem to thin that Hillary will destroy Obama, paving the way for an easy win of McCain over Clinton. Bill Cunningham, of course, disagrees; he prefers “short term pain (Hillary) in exchange for long term gain”, by which he means anyone but McCain in 2012. That man knows how to hold a grudge better than a teenage girl.

He must be high on his own fifteen minutes of fame; I hope it passes soon.

Here’s how I see it playing out: Hillary will reign for eight years with Obama as Vice; Obama will take the White House for the next eight. That way, we’re set all the way through 2024. Sounds good, doesn’t it?

If you think it’s a nightmare, tough; you Republicans had your chance and you mucked it up.

The search is on for the “hooded bicyclist” who allegedly has something to do with the Times Square bomb. The letters sent to members of Congress were a dead end; all they have to go on is some gritty video of a fast moving blurb. Great. It sounds like they’re looking for the bad guy in a really stupid superhero movie. Let’s hope they catch him before biking in New York gets a bad rep.

One other thing: I mentioned a while ago that teachers should get paid more. Here’s an interesting article on that exact topic:

We’ll see what happens.
