It Could Also Wear a Tie
Posted by Frank J. at 10:06 AM | View blog reactions | Comments (13)

I was looking for some non-Kerry news item to comment on, and I found out that Obama is now rising up in the ranks as a popular choice to run on the Democratic ticket for President in '08.

Come on! As I understand it, the reason Obama is so popular is that he gave one good speech and...

Actually, I think that's it. Otherwise, his other qualifications are he's bland and inoffensive and hasn't been around long enough to have a voting record to question him on.

Here's an idea: With the popularity of Obama and Lamont, why don't the Democrats nominate an actual empty shirt in the future - a heavily starched one so that it can stand up and look regal. While the Republican will inevitably have some scandals to be questioned on, the empty shirt will just sit there, newly dry-cleaned and absolutely spotless. How can you criticize such a nice shirt?

You can't. It's the perfect Democratic candidate.

Rating: 4.0/5 (1 vote cast)

you know, it DOES Make sense. A starched linen shirt just sitting there not doing anything would be a Democratic candidate I could actually vote for.

Can someone please explain to a poor confused Brit what the hell this means:

"DEMOCRATS ARE SEXY. WHOEVER HEARD OF A GOOD PIECE OF ELEPHANT?"

Confused.

George,
The symbol for Democrats is the donkey and the symbol for the Republicans is the Elephant (goes back to a political cartoon around the turn of the previous century).

Another word for "donkey" is "ass".

Dadgummit Frank -

STOP GIVING THE DHIMMICRATS IDEAS!

An empty shirt out polls 85% of current democrat and 65% of current republican incumbants. But an empty shirt can't accomplish ANYTHING after the election. THIS COULD SHUT DOWN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AS WE KNOW IT.

Upon reflection, please ignore my objection.

EMPTY SHIRT in '08, the only choice is no choice at all!

Since the Democrats have to make everything about sex, they'd just end up running Empty Shirt For pres and Full Pants for veep.

#5 - Posted by: spacemonkey on November 2, 2006 12:29 PM

The nutroots would never support a shirt that didn't at least scream "YAAAAAARRRGHHHH"

#6 - Posted by: keith on November 2, 2006 12:44 PM

You better make that a NEW empty shirt, Frank. You wouldn’t want an empty shirt with a stained past. Throw in a pair of clean underwear too, new clean underwear.

What you talkin about Willis?
The last two DemoCRAPic candidates for president were both stuffed shirts, and still they lost.

#8 - Posted by: Writer on November 2, 2006 01:19 PM

Spacemonkey - "Full Pants" sounds like someone in need of a diaper change.

#9 - Posted by: Gunga on November 2, 2006 01:46 PM

I think the demorats want a women to be their candidate. They can used a starched blue dress with the appropriate stainage.

#10 - Posted by: captamerica on November 2, 2006 02:39 PM

That shirt had better have been made by well paid UNION blue state types with 5 weeks paid vacation, "free" health care ( including drugs and mental health ), same sex bennies, and made from 100% recycled virgin hemp with bio-degradable buttons and stiching, only available on select stores where all products are "fair trade" friendly, and where the after-tax profits are donated to the U.N. using a big cardboard check, wich is then recycled.
Them Dems is hard to please.

#11 - Posted by: will.see on November 2, 2006 06:30 PM

Don't forget...it has to be a blue shirt with "Bush is Stupid" embroidered on the front. Hidden within the shirt has to be a voice chip which constantly loops the lines, "We have to raise taxes," "More govenment is the solution" and "What about our children?".

#12 - Posted by: Wolfman Dan on November 2, 2006 08:31 PM

Little baby Full Pants is sitting next to me right now, but I think he's a little young to run for VP.

Dangit, he needs another diaper change! Maybe he could be the Press Secretary.
