NEW FAKE SENATORS

Andy Kaufman in the Senator's seat, yeah yeah yeah yeah...UHH… SOUNDS GOOD: “Ted Kaufman, a longtime aide to Joe Biden, will be appointed by Delaware Gov. Ruth Ann Minner to fill the vacancy created by the vice president-elect once he resigns from the Senate, according to a Democratic source familiar with the decision.” Joe Biden controls the hell out of that state! He made the lady governor appoint some slave of his as a replacement until 2010 when his son, Beau, will more or less name himself the winner of the Senate election before it even happens.

    beau biden beau biden banana fana beau biden…

  2. As long as Ted doesn’t take to wearing a superhero/wrestler’s outfit under his street clothes as Andy did it’s all good.

    I like it when the terms “Lady Governor” and “slave” are used in the same sentence. Sexy time.

    The bartender on the Acela from D.C. to Wilmington is the new Delaware Attorney General.

    Terry: I hear he plays a mean bongo.

    I heard that Biden arranged for the lady Governor and his aide to compete in a wrestling match to decide who got to appoint Biden’s replacement.

  7. Serolf Divad:

    Have you SEEN the lady governor of Delaware? She’s a tough old bird, cut from the same general cloth as Maryland’s Senator Mikulski. My money would be on either of these ladies, regardless of who challenged them. Both probably have switchblades in their pocketbooks.

    I appreciate that the low-fruit “Andy Kaufman references” have been removed from the snark-board, proving once again that “pre-emptive strike” is in fact a legitimate term.

    Joe Biden is just giving his Senate seat to someone? He should have sold it on eBay.

    After his senatorial duties every day, he will continue to do his job as a busboy.

  11. We will now have a government entirely run by the Children of Israel. I hope they don’t piss off their sky-god, YHWH, or we are all in BIG TROUBLE.

  12. Cogito Ergo Bibo says at 3:36 pm, November 24th, 2008

    The lady Governor from Delaware is also the lame duck Governor of Delaware. She was probably like, “Eh, fuck it. Whatever.” Not as if she’s worried about reelection. Doesn’t hurt to have the VP owe you one, either.

  13. Joe Biden’s beta release.

  14. FreshCliches says at 3:51 pm, November 24th, 2008

    ….and midway through the term, Biden will quietly replace him with Bob Zmuda.

    No one will notice the difference.

  15. Beau Biden is the new Jeb Bush. Discuss.

  16. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 4:07 pm, November 24th, 2008

    Why don’t they just have the other five people in Delaware each serve one year in the Senate before Beau takes it over full time?

  17. Naked Bunny with a Whip says at 4:15 pm, November 24th, 2008

    Has Obama hired Palin to be the cigarette girl yet?

  18. Larry McAwful says at 4:16 pm, November 24th, 2008

    If we were truly a progressive country, then every exit on I-95 would get two senators, and not just this one.

  19. blackdontcrack says at 5:45 pm, November 24th, 2008

    mmmmm beau biden..he’s hot!!!!!!!!!!

  20. blackdontcrack: eeewwww!

  21. Man, I’d pay good money to see him be smacked by a wrestler on Letterman.

    I take it Ventura’s no longer in politics, maybe he can be called out of retardment.

  22. “Captain in the Judge Advocate General’s Corps.”
    Fightin’ Biden.
    Excluding McNuggets, in 2010 Beau will have had more military experience that most [if mot all] of the Republicans in the Senate, including pussy, draft-dodger former VP Dickmeister Cheney. Not that experience helped Viet Nam hero Max Cleland at all.
