and we would live in a perfect world

You've got it backwards. In order for that ticket to work, the world would have to be perfect.

You need to turn off the TV.

Actually, I think it would work, those two are far better politicians than anyone else.

Keep the T.V. on! Sometimes a little comedy is good for the soul.

Shattered OUT...

Isn't this thread about a politician who tried to be a comedian?

There might be a comedian out there who'd be a good politician. Fred Thompson crossed the line from Hollywood to Congress and Ronald Reagan went from Hollywood to Governor to President.

Many liberals didn't find the latter to be very funny. I know I didn't.

I'm not here to defend the Democrats... I certainly don't usually vote for them.

But when we have as dire a situation as we have now, with a lunatic as President and a corrupt and immoral congress, this coming election is very important. While, as I said, I'm no Democrat, I recognize the importance of getting the current crop of idiots out ASAP. Consequently, it worries me when the Republicans are clinging to such desperate measures to hold on to power... the fact that they're using slimy political tactics doesn't bother me so much... it's that there are enough morons out there who will actually fall for those tactics. Normally, I couldn't care less... but there is a A LOT at stake here.

Sure, the Democrats might do the same thing... but they didn't and I'm a lot less worried about the Democrats than the Republicans. That's basically what it comes down to, for me.
