How many Republicans/members of the McCain campaign does it take to change a light bulb?
1. One to deny that a light bulb needs to be changed;
2. One to attack the patriotism of anyone who says the light bulb needs to be changed;
3. One to blame American voters for burning out the light bulb;
4. One to arrange the invasion of a country rumored to have a secret stockpile of light bulbs;
5. One to give a One trillion dollars to Wall Street for the new light bulb;
6. One to arrange a photograph of Bush or McCain, dressed as a janitor, standing on a step ladder under the banner: Light Bulb Change Accomplished;
7. One campaign insider to resign and write a book documenting in detail how McCain/Bush was literally in the dark and out of touch with the American Voter
8. One to viciously smear #7;
9. Sarah Palin to campaign on TV and at rallies on how John McCain has had a strong light-bulb-changing policy all along;
10. And finally one to confuse Americans about the difference between screwing a light bulb and screwing the country.
From the Rabbit.
This is classic. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteWell done!
ReplyDeleteMore I think about it, the more I think that a principle cause of the jittery market is the fear that McCain could be elected. Four years of McCain's high-rolling, crap-shoot economics, with the very real possibility of the economic subtlety that a Palin presidency would bring in its wake, is enough to scare the hardiest free-market economics fanatic. Phil Gram for Treasury Secretary? Fox? Hen-house?
ReplyDeleteWe'll test the theory, one way or another, in four weeks time.
Like all good jokes, it's sometimes hard to tell where the humor ends and the reporting begins. It all sounds so plausible.
ReplyDeleteCounterlight, I give you:

Better than the news shows.
Lapin, the many fools operating on Wall Street are right to be concerned now, but they're a tad late waking up.
ReplyDeleteSo. Let me get this right: when he was eight, Obama knew somene who went on to be a terrorist. We know this to be true because Palin said so.
ReplyDeleteThe Republicans must be terrified to be stooping so low.
And people are taking this seriously?
DP, the man in question, William Ayers, was a member of the Weathermen during the 60s, and the group carried out several bombings. Ayers is now rehabilitated and is a professor at the University of Illinois/Chicago and a community activist. Obama served on a charity board with Ayers, and Ayers donated to Obama's campaign. That's a pretty thin connection.
ReplyDeleteSome fools take this seriously. At one of McCain's rallies, a member of the audience called out "Obama is a terrorist!" Most folks are getting sick of this sort of tactic and see it for what it is.
Mimi, this would be funny if it wasn't so true! Marilyn
ReplyDeleteMarilyn, the laughs surely leave a bit of a bitter taste.
ReplyDeleteJust google "Head of Skate"
ReplyDeleteBrilliant-and so true to the Anglican tradition!
ReplyDeleteYou've gone from being the Republican party at prayer to being NPR/Patagonia at prayer.
But at least you're still grossly over-represented in the Senated and in posh suburbs. Musn't take this egalitatian thing too far, must we!
Hi Fred, My church struggles to make ends meet every single year. Folks living in posh suburbs is hardly descriptive of our congregation, nor can I fit them into the NPR/Patagonia box, because most of the people in my church lean toward the conservative side. That's our Anglican tradition.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand the reference to the Senate.
Thanks for the goodie Mimi
