Kerry-McCain dialog...
...as imagined by Ted Rall:
Hey, John, wanna be my veep?No thanks.
I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear that. So. Shall we print up some buttons?
No.
Come on, man. I need you.
Nope.
You're kidding! You know the Republicans will never nominate you for the presidency! They hate your ass!
Whatever. I said no.
Dude! Don't be like that. Yes is such an easy word to say. Say it.
Get a life, John. Don't contact me unless it's about legislation. Got it?
Look, I'll be honest. The CBS poll says you'll give me a 14-point boost if you join the team. I gotta have you. I can't take no for an answer.
No means no, John. No. No. No.
Hey, thanks, I appreciate it. I'll call a press conference for noon. Kerry-McCain 2004!
I'm getting a restraining order against you, you jowly bassett-hound-eyed freak!!!
At least one Democrat has the good sense to be embarrassed by this desperate-seeming spectacle. I was wondering when the Democratic Party was going to wake up and realize that McCain was (gasp!) a Republican. I guess now it's finally happened.
