Two things! Barack Obama will appear with his so-called “vice president” in Springfield, Illinois — where he started his campaign 20 years ago — on Saturday. Oh neat. Also, Mark Halperin hears that Tom Ridge is no longer a possibility for John McCain, probably because Tom Ridge kills babies. So the current veepstakes predictions stand, according to our Wonkette Maths, as (1) Biden (2) Bayh (3) Kaine for the Democrats and (1) Romney (2) Pawlenty (3) Lieberman for the Republicans. But watch out for surprises! Obama could pick a Balinese Cock, because he loves Balinese Cock. [Lynn Sweet, The Page]
Now that’s one oreo cookie I want no part of.
…look at Joe Biden trying to butter up Barack Obama by flirting with his 2 daughters Malia and Natasha!
So, Jindal-the-Exorcist has been ruled out? McCain could use a good exorcism from time to time. Kinda like roughage.
So wait, does this mean I’m not getting texted?
SuperRounder: I disagree. That is a hot ass pic.
It’s almost like Bush and the volleyball players, come to think.
…god pweeeeese let WALNUTS! pick MITTENS! My life needs meaning, damn it!!!
Barack’s going to head fake everybody and pick McCain for VP.
no one sees that coming!
Biden: “You know, I’m a fan of Mixalot Sir’s “I like big buts”"
Did you hear that McCain is going to announce his VP pick at the Nutter Center? No kidding.
AngryBlakGuy: Funny. The word “flapjacks” crossed my mind when I saw that picture. Buttery, buttery flapjacks.
I like Biden a lot, but is he about change? I want to not have bad feelings over this, but I do. Me having bad, uncomfortable feelings. Must. Start. Jack&Lemonade. Sooner. Today.
I can see Biden at a Nascar event in his seersucker suit and the Dixiecrats saying “Ass!”
SuperRounder: …well being that I’m tipsy/shitfaced drunk(and tropical Fay kicks azz) I wouldn’t rule out the chick on the right side! And whatever you do, don’t remind me of this post later!!!
Springfield, eh? I hope he gets Mayor Quimby’s endorsement. That guy knows how to win an election.
“…he loves Balinese Cock.” But who here doesn’t, really?
Mittens would be good, but Lieberman would be better…maybe. On the Dem side, I’m holding out for an Obama/Obama ticket.
AngryBlakGuy: You’re drunk? What timezone are you in? Although, I guess they say it’s 5 o’clock somewhere for a reason.
Who came on his lapel?
NoWireHangers: AngryBlakGuy: I gotta say word to NWH on this one. How are you that drunk this early? Are you posting from the Capitol Lounge or Lounge 201?
And I won’t have to remind you, playa, because ugly ALWAYS calls back.
NoWireHangers and AngryBlakGuy: Thank jeebus for TS Fay. Great excuse for drinking AND snarking the the middle of a workday. (One that won’t result in my untimely termination from employment)
Isn’t Hillary making a play for the McCain ticket? Sure, Obama said no, but you don’t seriously she’d give up that easily do you?
columnv: A couple of pairs of tube socks, and that would be one hot American Apparel ad.
In an act of surprise and excitement, Gary Coleman will be every candidate’s VP choice.
That Biden cleans up well
This whole “Obama needs a VP” bullshit is just a right-wing smear tactic to convince people that he is too “inexperienced” and too “young” and too “assasinatable” to run by himself.
Obama must run for president without a running mate. Now that is change you can believe in!
Does JB look really tan, or is it just the color registration on my PCjr?
sezme: Yes, and her camp says it’s got to be her, given they don’t know a thing about it and he would ONLY be so secretive with her leak-prone camp for good reason. True story.
Johnetic: he looks like George Hamilton, so yes.
NoWireHangers: SuperRounder: sweetits: …Im assuming that you guys have never heard of the phenomenon called the “Hurricane Party”! Well down here in South Florida we have these special kind of holidays called “tropical storm warnings”. These holidays allow us to worship our deities “Bacardi Superior” and “Jack Daniels”.
Doglessliberal: Back from two weeks at the Obama training camp in Tunisia, I suppose. Or “vetting”, if you are in the Obama campaign.
AngryBlakGuy: I live in Sarasota…we started ours at 8 this am. Loves me some hurricane days
AngryBlakGuy: Lucky. I wish I was in a bunch of hurricanes. I’m banking on an earthquake though!
There is no possible way Obama could be lucky enough to have McCain pick Lieberman, the losiest loser that ever lost an election. I mean, there’s no way, right? (Oh please, oh please, oh please….)
Buffy and Hildegard: I’m feeling giddy with the thought that he might be trying to choose between Lieberman and Romney as we speak. Sadly, I fear god doesn’t love democrats that much.
shortsshortsshorts: AngryBlakGuy: We have neither here in DC. It’s too bad we don’t get “gay sex scandal days.”
sweetits: …everyone else is deprived.
AngryBlakGuy: I live in the Earthquake zone. There is no pre-party for earthquakes and afterwards all your bottles are shattered. No one wins.
I work one block away from the Old Capitol Plaza. This Saturday will be b-a-n-a-n-a-s. More media, bigger crowd, tons more security, etc. Snap.
OK, Oreo cookie was funny but I am on my fourth tequila. So. I have been anti-Hillz since day one but yesterday I had an epiphany. I think Hopey should take her, Billy Boy and all. If he can’t handle the Clintons how can he handle the Presidency? He just sends Billy Boy off to London or Paris to be Ambassador (who could resist?) Then he sends Hillz to any number of funerals, Bar Mitzahs, coronations, etc. They could even rebuild the Naval Observatory and have the Veeps residence be in Hawaii for a couple of years. The Western White House in waiting.
planet-arium: There’s only one problem with your plan: If Barry dies Hillz is Prez. We’d be on 24-hour assassination watch.
SuperRounder: the federal government would grind to a halt. oh wait.
“The Obama campaign made it official on Tuesday afternoon - Obama stops at the Old State Capitol in Springfield to kick off a tour of battleground states in the run up to the Democratic convention in Denver.”
So it’s gonna be Lincoln, then….kinda redundant, don’t ya think, Barry?
Old Abe and young Uppity Hussein, the great orators/tall lanky guys/railsplitters/cocksmen.
Which means McExxon will pick Ramses II as his Veep, the only person older than he,
and the youth vote will rush to Juan’s side of the boat, capsize and drown
the end
Jesus, Biden looks like Joe DiMaggio in that picture.
Say it ain’t so, Joe!
The Weather Girls have found their man.

I would vote for Biden watch him screw it up and pick Bayh
Uh, ’scuse me? I understand GILF Sarah Palin is the front runner for veep….oh, that’s right, the other day she issued a press release saying how much she admires Obama’s energy plan….ooops…Sarah = not the sharpest candidate…would have done well during Reagan decade.
Big bottom, big bottom
