So Maybe This Chubby Nobel Laureate Would Like To Be Vice President, Again!

by Sara K. Smith  

Relive the old magic!Well, hell. This Sebelius gal won’t be Obama’s veep because she has a long face; Chuck Hagel won’t work because he’s a Republican; and Joe Biden won’t because … oh no wait maybe Joe Biden would work! Yeah, he’s got an okay face for it, and hair plugs, and “foreign” experience. But you know who would RULE? The fat one who made the slide show about climate change.

You see, Al Gore already lived in the Naval Observatory once, so installing him again would be a simple matter of switching the utility bills back over to his name. This is literally the only reason we can think of anyone entertaining this terrible notion. Oh and he is an “international rock star,” whatever the fuck that means.

I bet he wouldn’t even have to pay a reinstallation fee for cable. although we would probably want to drop The Satan Channel. Yeah, I say take the environmental scold and give him a second shot at #2. Every comedian in the world will be thankful.

That headline is shit-tastic. I love how “lack of foreign policy experience” in the story copy becomes “security weak spot” in the headline.

How about “Powerpoint Czar”? We can send him to troublesome hotspots where he can bore the locals to a sleepy, sleepy peace by reading, line for line, the same text they could all read, and that they finished reading 5 minutes ago when it first appeared in front of them, and please at least give us a pie chart or something, we’ll stop fighting now, please, make it stop!

AngryBlakGuy July 1, 2008 at 10:38 am

…how many “Rock Stars” can you have in one administration? Obama as president, Gore as Veep, whats next “Linkin Park” as secretary of the interior and the “Foo Fighters” as secretary of defense?

AngryBlakGuy July 1, 2008 at 10:39 am

…will he bring his lock box?!

Walter Sobchak July 1, 2008 at 10:43 am

I put 20 bucks on Gore to be VP on Intrade like two years ago, and I’ll be damned if I don’t see a return on that investment!

choinski July 1, 2008 at 10:46 am

Obama/Gore: Change we should have had eight years ago.

medievalist July 1, 2008 at 10:46 am

I hadn’t thought about having to clean up the Naval Observatory after Jan. 20. We need a VP with a strong stomach. All that blood…

Monsieur Grumpe July 1, 2008 at 10:47 am

I say we clone Gore, everyone is doing it, and fill every cabinet post with Al Gores.

elburrito July 1, 2008 at 10:47 am

Other than allowing Islamics to attack the WTC twice what foreign policy experience is so compelling with Algore?

loudmouthredhead July 1, 2008 at 10:48 am

[re=27507]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: Oh great…you want a bunch of angry, emo white kids to manage our nation’s bounty? No thanks.

I vote for head of the EPA. Hell, can anyone here even NAME the current head of the EPA? That person’s quieter than Cheney’s daughter is about a “marriage protection” amendment proposal for the constitution!

loudmouthredhead July 1, 2008 at 10:49 am

[re=27513]medievalist[/re]: See, I’d be more concerned about the dried lube caked on the walls or tripping over all those strap-ons from Lynn’s lesbian book-writing parties.

Canuckledragger July 1, 2008 at 10:49 am

Biden’s out because he can only do things that Neil Kinnock did first.

Gore’s out because he’d rather hang with Bono than Obomo.

Hillary’s out because she’ll catfight with Patti Solis Doyle.

Bubba’s out because Hopey won’t kiss his ass for support.

Edwards is out because he’s run-of-the-mill.

Richardson’s out because of his Commie loser beard-ette.

Dodd’s out because of his Countrywide mortgage issue.

Kucinich is out because of his elfin background.

Come on down….. Mike Gravel!

[re=27514]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]: That would possibly be the gayest cabinet ever (and that isn’t a bad thing).

Forget that, actually, Reagan had the gayest cabinet by far.

[re=27507]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: Amy Winehouse can run HUD

ServiceJervixJuice July 1, 2008 at 10:57 am

Oh come now, nobody’s going anywhere. Once Cheney and Chimpy attack Iran, declare martial law, and suspend the election, they’ll be there for the rest of their lives.

Gopherit v2.0 July 1, 2008 at 11:00 am

[re=27525]MathewBrooks[/re]: I thought she’d be head of the FDA.

I want to see Bubba as Veep. He can divorce Hillz and turn the Naval observatory into a huge shag-pad.

AngryBlakGuy July 1, 2008 at 11:00 am

[re=27513]medievalist[/re]: …no I think we need a VP with expert knowledge of necromancy, black magic, voodoo, exorcisms and dimensional rift sealing. So that we can cleanse the Naval Observatory of any lingering remnants of Dick Cheney.

Anita Cocktail July 1, 2008 at 11:03 am

Gah,no, no, no, not the awkward, celibacy-inducing Tongue-Thrusting Photo again! Never, never, never show that photo. Ever again.

I keep hearing rumors that Obama will be annoucing his veep this week, the only place I have been able to find any evidence supporting this is at a site called veep peek, was wondering if anyone has heard anything about these rumors or where I can read more about them.,? I know this site is one of the sites that broke the rumor on the ObamaBayh08 site so I thought someone here might know if there seems to be any truth behind the rumors. the only place i have been able to find anything about these rumors on the web is at the veep the site is http://www.theveep.com

Anita Cocktail July 1, 2008 at 11:04 am

[re=27533]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: Isn’t Jindal a republican, though?

codfish July 1, 2008 at 11:06 am

[re=27525]MathewBrooks[/re]: Obviously, she would head the DEA. Now that is change I can believe in.

elburrito July 1, 2008 at 11:07 am

[re=27540]pastor mike[/re]: I trust any site that advertises waterless toilets.

AngryBlakGuy July 1, 2008 at 11:10 am

[re=27525]MathewBrooks[/re]: …Im thinking Amy Winehouse would be more suited for the head of the DEA! She would keep all of the drugs off our streets by putting them in her body!!!

Servo July 1, 2008 at 11:15 am

Experience? We’ve been in dire straits for 7+ years because the majority subscribed to “experience”.
I’ll waive experience for rational thinking because that seems to be the only way to get back on terra firma.

I dunno. I kind of like the Daily Kos Strategy for Political Appointment ™, which entails putting every Democratic Senator or failed Presidential candidate in the administration.

[re=27521]Canuckledragger[/re]: Oh my Gawd! I just ripped my calender and today is that very special day called “Canada Day Observed.” Happy Canada Day Observed!

Send more weed.

Obama Kucinich ’08! C’mon, it would solve our budget problems — every morning when Barry wakes up, all the flax in the White House would be spun into gold. Deficit over.

RaptorAvatar July 1, 2008 at 11:34 am

[re=27512]choinski[/re]: I’m not even going to front like I didn’t lol @ that.[re=27521]Canuckledragger[/re]: If Mike Gravel were on the ticket, I’d seriously consider moving to a battleground state just to help them both win.

Canuckledragger July 1, 2008 at 11:37 am

[re=27575]KevoTron[/re]: No can do. Your GF pissed off Marc Emery, so, “NO BUD FOR YOU!”

Cape Clod July 1, 2008 at 11:58 am

I bet Walter Mondale is miffed that nobody bandies his name around for the VP Slot.

TGY July 1, 2008 at 11:59 am

Great, Hopey’s humanity can be balanced and complimented by Al Gore’s robotivity. Also, when Al Gore sits around the White House, he really sits *around* the White House.

WIDTAP July 1, 2008 at 12:07 pm

[re=27610]TGY[/re]: Hey, Al Gore still carries a lot of weight around this town.

lumpenprole July 1, 2008 at 12:14 pm

It would be kinda cool to move back into one of my old apartments after Dick Cheney had spent a few years there.
“Honey, I found another dehydrated baby corpse!”
“Well, throw it down the memory hole. And you don’t have to tell me every time you find one. I can see you on all the telescreens anyway. Just wave next time!”

[re=27531]Gopherit v2.0[/re]:
Obviously, Winehouse for DEA. Nixon gave Elvis a DEA badge so why not her?

As for Bubba, he’s just being a Baby Boomer Buffoon – acting up, stamping his feet in a tantrum and never leaving the stage even though he is way past his use by date.

Long, long ago, in the depths of Winter, both Obama and McCain talked about fundamentally changing the election process. And, we loved it. But then things got all grown up, and mature and such. So, let’s recapture the DREAM. Each guy names the other as his VEEP! McCain provides Hopey with the foreign policy gravitas earned by living 8 years in Hanoi. BHO gives us all the assurance of real change when Walnuts pops a vein the first time Amijidad calls him Great Satan (or is that the Venezuelan guy?) Would make the debates neat.

KevoTron July 1, 2008 at 1:28 pm

[re=27583]Canuckledragger[/re]: Stingy bastard. By the way, I know he’s all about the legalization and whatnot but he’s a LIBERTARIAN for crissakes. come on man… You’re better than that. Oh, and my girlfriend can piss off whoever she damn well pleases. You got a problem with that?

Canuckledragger July 1, 2008 at 1:38 pm

[re=27704]KevoTron[/re]: Hey, she didn’t piss me off. But since she asked to score some pot at his cafe, not long after he was arrested by foreign narcs [i.e. yours] on Canadian soil, you might wanna let her know it wasn’t personal. They were just a tad twitchy at the time, is all.

And if your GF pisses you off semi-regularly, then we know she’s doing her job, is a good woman and you should keep her. For reals.

KevoTron July 1, 2008 at 1:42 pm

[re=27713]Canuckledragger[/re]: Seriously, she got bitched out pretty good when she inquired at the Cannabis Cafe a few weeks ago. She ended up scoring in some ghetto neighborhood not far by. Also, she said there’s this crazy shit people are slamming up there that’s like a mixture of peyote and heroin. What the fuck is that all about?

Oh, and we’re Americans and we reserve the right to arrest anyone on any soil for any reason. We also reserve the right to extraordinarily rendition your ass to secret prisons and/or Gitmo for some water-fun. Thanks!

Canuckledragger July 1, 2008 at 2:03 pm

[re=27716]KevoTron[/re]: “Ghetto neighbourhood” sounds like the lower east side, heroin capital of Canada. Also home to a safe injection site that the Harperites want to shut down, because drug addicts aren’t people worth saving, so they deserve to die of an overdose.

There’s a cafe just about right across the street from Emery’s where should coulda hooked up. Or just asked any passing pedestrian. In BC, everybody’s holding.

BTW: we know you think international law and the laws of other countries are “quaint” because Alberto Gonzo said you don’t have to pay any attention to them. So you don’t. And given that you no longer really pay much attention to the laws enshrined in your own Constitution, that’s hardly surprising, is it? We’ll chat again after the next stolen election, OK?

KevoTron July 1, 2008 at 2:23 pm

[re=27741]Canuckledragger[/re]: Deal. Who needs a constitution anyways?

I’m investing in Diebold currently. And yes, your laws are quaint. Much like your cute little Canadian football league.

Obama-Dukakis

Outstando July 1, 2008 at 5:33 pm

I’m down with it as long as he still travels with that cherry picker.

Crankenstank July 1, 2008 at 5:52 pm

Come to think of it, Obama-Gonzalez would court the hispanic vote AND be reaching across the aisle to the reality impaired. Bold and zesty, like cayenne Doritos!
