SURE WHY NOT

Did Obama Pick … Lincoln Chaffee?

by Ken Layne  

Wonkette operative “Basart” just sent iron-clad evidence supporting his completely made-up theory that Lincoln “Rhode Island Red” Chaffee will be Barack’s challenging independent vice president — our new LBJ! The list is sure to surprise/confound you.

1. Independent
2. “Strengthen the economy.” He used to be a blacksmith. When all the oil is gone, and we return to horse-drawn carriages, he will take over the blacksmith/iron industries and the government will reap the rewards.
3. Chaffee is from Rhode Island. So is Sara Smith.
4. “Lincoln,” duh. He’s on the penny! Which is money! IT’S THE ECONOMY, STUPID.
5. Plus he’s a total Democrat.

EARLIER: Lincoln Chaffee Might Vote For Obama!

Obama/Chaffee sounds too much like it would be cured by a liberal application of ointment.

BillyClubb August 21, 2008 at 6:03 pm

Oh, now how’s that gonna look: “Obama / Lincoln”? Wait, that looks good. Lincoln freed the slaves; Barry’s running for Prez. Winner!

Gopherit v2.0 August 21, 2008 at 6:03 pm

Nah, I think it’s gonna be Janet Napolitano. Napolitano knows how to push around Republicans, can take Arizona away from John McCain, and could beat Hopey’s ass in an arm-wrestling match. The only problem is, he’ll lose the Bitters because he won’t have picked a woman.

Voyou Charmant August 21, 2008 at 6:04 pm

Sounds legit to me.

Ken Layne August 21, 2008 at 6:05 pm

I’m thinking somebody more sidekicky, like Chewbacca the Wookie.

BobLoblawLawBlog August 21, 2008 at 6:06 pm

Lincoln Chafee sounds like a smooth ride, like it’s got really good suspension and de-luxe interiors. Yeah, I’d vote for it.

pattycake August 21, 2008 at 6:08 pm

[re=65594]Ken Layne[/re]: he’s clean, and articulate.

Dave J. August 21, 2008 at 6:08 pm

[re=65587]Gopherit v2.0[/re]: I think she’s awesome, but isn’t she, um, you know…?

trophy(forparticipation)wife August 21, 2008 at 6:12 pm

[re=65595]BobLoblawLawBlog[/re]: Diamond in the back, sunroof top, diggin’ the scene, with a gangsta lean . . .

I see the ad now. Perfect!

S.Luggo August 21, 2008 at 6:13 pm

[re=65601]Dave J.[/re]: Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Gopherit v2.0 August 21, 2008 at 6:13 pm

[re=65601]Dave J.[/re]: A catholic? Yeah, I think so.

S.Luggo August 21, 2008 at 6:15 pm

[re=65590]Voyou Charmant[/re]: Plus, like Barry, Linc enjoys teh Bolivian Marching Powder.

Rodney Badger August 21, 2008 at 6:15 pm

VP? No. But I can see Obama appointing him to be Secretary of Perpetual Sadfaces, or something.

SayItWithWookies August 21, 2008 at 6:15 pm

[re=65601]Dave J.[/re]: From a state with few electoral votes? True that. I’d choose a real American hero.

Lascauxcaveman August 21, 2008 at 6:15 pm

[re=65594]BobLoblawLawBlog[/re]: I can buy that. “Chafee,” from the french verb chauffix, “to racially balance the ticket.”

Gopherit v2.0 August 21, 2008 at 6:16 pm

[re=65601]Dave J.[/re]: Asexuals don’t have sexual preferences, do they? Cuz, if she’d ever had sex in her life, the sleazy Republican Party in AZ would have found out and used it by now.

Hooray For Anything August 21, 2008 at 6:16 pm

[re=65594]Ken Layne[/re]: Barak/’Bacca in 2008!

Gopherit v2.0 August 21, 2008 at 6:17 pm

[re=65622]SayItWithWookies[/re]: She let Dubya touch her ass. She’s tainted.

Dave J. August 21, 2008 at 6:18 pm

[re=65622]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Not sure I could handle the existential reality of wanting to smack the VP on the bootie.

SayItWithWookies August 21, 2008 at 6:22 pm

[re=65626]Gopherit v2.0[/re]: Yeah but he did it wrong, so it doesn’t count.
[re=65628]Dave J.[/re]: We will learn to get used to it. As a nation.

GlennBecksTaint August 21, 2008 at 6:23 pm

Rhode Island is a Swinger State

Gopherit v2.0 August 21, 2008 at 6:24 pm

[re=65628]Dave J.[/re]: See, there’d be no problem with that with Janet.

pdiddycornchips August 21, 2008 at 6:24 pm

[re=65594]Ken Layne[/re]:

Chewbacca was complicit in the destruction of Alderon. He didn’t fix the hyperdrive in time and Vader’s death star destroyed the planet. Or something like that. Whateves. Republican attacks don’t have to make too much sense so long as they blame Democrats for foreign policy debacles.

jimh August 21, 2008 at 6:27 pm

[re=65625]Hooray For Anything[/re]:
And the immediate counter by the RNC: McCain/Jabba 2008

Gopherit v2.0 August 21, 2008 at 6:28 pm

[re=65642]pdiddycornchips[/re]: Hey, don’t you be Millenium Falconing Chewbacca!

Gopherit v2.0 August 21, 2008 at 6:29 pm

[re=65634]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Again, something only Dubya could screw up.

Gopherit v2.0 August 21, 2008 at 6:30 pm

[re=65648]jimh[/re]: You don’t really think Rove would go for an office do you?

Besides, I heard he was…..you know…

jimh August 21, 2008 at 6:32 pm

[re=65648]jimh[/re]: Jabba has:
• A successful business background
• Proven leadership experience
• Makes McCain look young, handsome, human

SayItWithWookies August 21, 2008 at 6:33 pm

[re=65654]Gopherit v2.0[/re]: Really. Okay, I think I’ve posted this before but it was a while ago, so what the hell:
Do you know why Laura’s always on top when she and the president have sex?
‘Cause Dubya can only fuck up.

pdiddycornchips August 21, 2008 at 6:35 pm

[re=65650]Gopherit v2.0[/re]:

He would destroy Lieberman in the Larry King VP debate. Literally if we’re lucky.

josereyes.theroof August 21, 2008 at 6:40 pm

[re=65587]Gopherit v2.0[/re]: I like your style, Dude.

notthe600 August 21, 2008 at 6:46 pm

He should have picked Suzy Chaffee.

cockblock August 21, 2008 at 6:57 pm

Missing Linc!

Hooray For Anything August 21, 2008 at 7:00 pm

[re=65642]pdiddycornchips[/re]: I don’t know how much help Chewy would provide because I don’t think Kashyyyk is a swing state.

Oscar Folsom Cleveland August 21, 2008 at 7:05 pm

Wrong Linc…these young’uns didn’t know Old Abe. Juan McExpress knew the railspitter. He knew Methusala and he dated Lucy, our common ancestor, just a few years before Cindy was borned.

Still, I think it’s gonna be Sibelius. I always did.

dave666 August 21, 2008 at 7:16 pm

John McCain knew Abe Lincoln, Abe Lincoln was a friend of John McCain’s, and Chaffee………………. you know the rest

Wee Mousie August 21, 2008 at 8:25 pm

Either it is Obama/Chaffee which sounds like something McCain got from his diaper (like pattycake said) or it is Barry/Lincoln which they did already back in 1865.

jerryw August 21, 2008 at 8:32 pm

[re=65777]Wee Mousie[/re]: [re=65777]Wee Mousie[/re]: It’s only fair that McFossil got something from his diaper, considering how much he’s put into it.

Lincoln Chaffee is the son of a moderate Republican New England Senator, he’s dumb, and he likes cocaine. Too familiar, no thanks.

chaseychasem August 21, 2008 at 9:38 pm

Shit, why not just reanimate Gerald Ford and pick him?

donner_froh August 21, 2008 at 10:13 pm

[re=65584]pattycake[/re]: Just so it is liberal…

sanantonerose August 21, 2008 at 11:36 pm

[re=65637]GlennBecksTaint[/re]: Swinger state? Duly noted.

If you’re going to pick a Rhode islander, it MUST be Buddy Cianci’s wife, Nancy Ann Cianci!

I’m still hoping for Biden… but now I want coffee milk… gah
