I hid a microphone at Obama headquarters because I am a Fox News kind of guy, adhering to the journalistic credo that “your right to know supersedes your right to exist.”*This is the discussion I overheard among Obama’s advisors:
MOHAMMED: So, Akmed, who is on the short list for V.P.?
AKMED: The name at the top today is Tim Kaine.
MOHAMMED: Who?
AKMED: The Governor of Virginia.
MOHAMMED: Never heard of him. What happened to Clinton, or Biden, or Hagel, even?
AKMED: Kaine has one thing those guys will never have.
MOHAMMED: What’s that?
AKMED: The confusion factor. People go in to vote for McCain, they see Obama/Kaine and they accidentally vote for our guy.
MOHAMMED: Come on! Nobody is that brain dead.
AKMED: Oh yeah? I got one word for ya.
MOHAMMED: Whut?
AKMED: Florida, 2000.
MOHAMMED: Oh yeeeeaaah. It could happen.
AKMED: It could happen!
MOHAMMED: You know, Akmed, that’s a nice “I’m a life-long Christian, not a Muslim terrorist, I swear to Allah” lapel pin you have on.
AKMED: Huh? I don’t have a…what is this?
TOGETHER: That’s not a “I’m a life-long Christian, not a Muslim terrorist, I swear to Allah” lapel pin, that’s a hidden microph…..
That’s where I lost the transmission.

OK, JohnnyB: A combination of Kaine/McCain puns and nostalgia for that Burbank dude we used to write for inspired this little ditty, and it's all your fault:
With apologies to the musical classic "My Fair Lady," the Late for the Sky Theatre and Cha-Cha Whoopee Band presents George W. Bush as TheLiar DooLittle in "My Third Termy":
George singing to "The Rain in Spain"
The reign insane
refrains with John McCain
The reigning pain
refrains with John McCain
(Bad Rex Harrison Imitator):
By George, I think you've got it! What is that reign?
George:
In-sane! In-sane!
Harrison:
And who has most to gain?
George:
McCain! McCain!
The lane to fame
is mainly in my name
(Now singing and mumbling badly) That's why you'll dance on offshore rigs and give us gas holidays and claim that you're a military genius for voting for a surge when voting for the war in the first place was . . .
In-Sane! In-Sane!
The reign insane
refrains with John McCain
(Bad Rex Harrison Imitator):
By George, I think you've got it!
Very nice, Bill. I refrained from pointing out that Obama's "Yes we can" refrain means he is "able". And Able going up against McCain or Kaine is historically risky.
You both do Gary proud!
