Democratic Presidential Nominee Barack Obama (let’s call him BO for short) has selected his VP candidate for the 2008 election. BO shocked some but not many after he selected Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki as his running mate. While some may question his decision BO said that as he is a citizen of the world there was no other choice after the Zimbabwean dictator Robert Mugabe turned him down. BO did say that despite been turned down by Mugabe he would consider him for Secretary of State. Al-Maliki is expected to help with fund raising and should help BO in Dearborn, Michigan with its large Muslim population. Members of the Hill were quick to comment. Hillary Clinton suggested that there is no certainty that BO will get the nomination as she left to go to Brooklyn to meet with one of her campaign supporter Anthony “Little Pussy” Russo who has been retained by the suspended Clinton campaign to deal with some lingering campaign issues. Harry Reid said it was a logical choice and he was looking forward to working with al-Maliki during the campaign. He said he was extremely grateful that al-Maliki had arranged for the first casino license in Baghdad to go one of Reid’s sons. Nancy Pelosi who is recovering in George Washington University Hospital for excessive botox tried to applaud the decision but has not be able to move any of her body parts above her waist for the last two years. Most mainline Democrats were in favor with the decision with the notable exception of Barbara Boxer and Lois Capps who did not know who al-Maliki was. Lois Capps asked if he had sold her a newspaper at the Ronald Reagan National Airport and why he would be selected to run for VP. Another notable dissenter was BO’s wife Michelle. Michelle questioned the decision when there were some many qualified American candidates like Bobby Seal, any of the Cleever kids (Elddrgie that is) or Angela Davis. Ms. BO said that she wants to be proud of her husband’s selection.
When asked about selections for the rest of his cabinet BO suggested the following. George Soros Sec of Defense, noted Ob-Gyn Ronald Haberstein as Sec of Labor, DB Cooper as Sec of Transportation, and Tony Rezko as Atty General.
All in all it has been quite a week for BO. Stay tuned this could get interesting.
And yes the Voice of Rage is back!!!!!!
