Ah, Denver. The Mile High City. The place that pioneering spirits wondered at the Rocky Mountains, gathered their toughest and strongest for the rough road ahead, and left the pussies and complainers behind to found. There is nothing to do here. The Obamamaniacs work with religious fervor and, after the One's beating in the press, refuse to talk to me. So, I called an old friend from the McCain campaign, a high ranking member who wishes to remain anonymous.
WBH: Thanks for joining me ----.
HRM: Let's make this quick Bill. You've been banned from the campaign for months now.
WBH: I want to talk about McCain's potential running mate.
HRM: That's why I'm here. We're sick and tired of all this noise about Obama and who he's going to anoint to join his cult leadership.
WBH: Well, I must say, your campaign has made a spirited comeback, albeit by using the Republican attack tactics that your man initially said he was above, but none the less you've scored a major coup in the media. They're angry at Obama for making them look wrong. All the cooing and bluster they lobbed at him like confetti in his battle with the Clinton woman is now looking as vacuous as it actually was and the media is starting to doubt him because they feel slighted in the realization that the guy is actually human.
HRM: Yeah well, I mean, he's young and inexperienced and clearly struggling to find his footing. And, I'll tell you what, we would have done the same thing to Clinton. Because the one quarter of her voters still pissed enough to not vote for Obama would be the same one quarter of his supporters holding out out of childish spite. And our Republicans, the sensible ones anyway, are coming around to the importance of keeping the party in power. This is McCain's game to win now baby. I like him putting the idealists and the elitists on edge.
WBH: Yeah, you guys are confident. So, let's look at the top four: Romney, Ridge, that guy from Minnesota who no one has heard of, and, uhhh, Lieberman. Now, obviously, you people are practical, so we can cross Lieberman off the list---
HRM: That's actually where we're leaning Bill.
Prolonged Silence.
WBH: Are you fucking insane?
HRM: Not at all, Bill. In fact, Lieberman epitomizes the future McCain administration. Bi-partisan and independent with a keen eye toward broadening American military strength worldwide and bolstering a stagnant economy at home.
WBH: And you believe Joe Lieberman is the man who is going to provide the knock-out punch with the general electorate? He's the guy to once and for all topple the Obamamaniacs and all their fervor?
HRM: We're more concerned with the way the man will govern. We believe we can win this election with any of the current finalists.
WBH: Have you paid an ounce of attention to the way he has handled himself as a public servant since letting Dick Cheney eviscerate him in the 2000 Vice Presidential Debates? The man is a biohazard to campaigns. Are you hoping to attract to the racist upper class, comically pro-Israel septegenarian voting bloc? Picking Lieberman is not reaching across the aisle! It's like reaching into a tank full of poisonous snakes! The man will bury you! He's the perfect independent. He only cares about Joe!
HRM: Listen, Bill, with all due respect, this is getting out of hand. This is the exact kind of nonsense that got you kicked off the campaign in the first place. So, I gotta---
WBH: You're ending the interview? Oh, no sir, I am ending the interview! You people disgust me! Go, take your fake war hero and your misunderstood, myopic misrepresentation of my people and ride that horse straight to second place! Why don't you give Thomas Eagleton a call. I'm sure you could exhume him for a second run at the White House!
Silence.
WBH: Douchebags.
