Palin into insignificance

By scott

I don’t know about you, but all this politicking stuff is mighty tricky to understand. But I have read the interwebs and I now think I have mastered the US election thingie.

One side want to keep America as a republic - they are called the Republicans; the other side want to turn it into a democracy - they are called democrats (although, like most Americans, they can’t spell properly) To paraphrase Ghandi “I think it would be a very good idea” to try democracy, I hear it is working for Iraq, so could work in the US too.

The Republican’s are trying to elect a man called John McCain. As we all know he is most famous for inventing the oven chip. He was also captured by the Vietnamese during the Vietnam war, who wanted to discover the secret of his chips. Despite much torture, he refused to give up the secret recipe for just what made his chips/fries so good.

After the war he went into TV and started in the show Maverick - later remade as a film by Mel Gibson.

Today he is very old, but like me, he likes to sing beach boys songs.

The Republicans also want to elect Michael Palin as their Vice President. I think this is a super idea, as he actually knows where places are on a map, unlike the current president. He can say nuclear and pronounces place name correctly too. As in his Monty Python days he seems to have taken to dressing up in drag during interviews and debates - a bit un-nerving, but it is never a bad thing to get that all important cross-dressing vote. I think this is also an indication that he might swing both ways, which again will be very important for securing votes in the ’swing states’. Apparently, these are not states that have a big swing for people to play on, as I had first thought. No word yet, if Palin and John plan to resurrect the lumberjack song, but I do hope so.

The Democrats, on the other hand (I have big hands) want to elect an Irishman called O’bama. I think the Irish thing - whilst a vote winner - is a cover though. He is portrayed as a bit of a crusader, and whilst I have yet to hear of him wearing a cape, I think you’ll agree that there are clues to his real identity. Don’t be fooled by the middle name of Hussein, that is a red herring. However, it all becomes clearer when you look to his running mate: Joseph Robinette Biden. Yes, folks, Robin. Now who do you know that is a crusader who has a side kick called Robin? Yep, you’ve got it Ba(t)ma(n).

Not convinced? Well Commissioner Gorden was a cop for 15 years in Chicago, Illinois before leaving for Gotham. Where is Obama from? Chicago. It all fits.

So if that is true - and it is … is John McCain really someone else - The penguin, perhaps?, and his running mate, Poison Ivy ?
