The Smelly Cheese

The New York times is reporting that team Clinton (code for Bill) is contemplating Hillary as Barack Obama's running mate and VP. At this point I'd take Obama and cardboard cutout of Cookie Monster, so can we please just get on with this damn thing. November is not that far away and the DNC is ostensibly still picking out the color of their drapes while John McCain has already finished putting in a new counter top for his bathroom (hmmmm.... home remodeling humor doesn't come off quite as well as I thought).

At this point, the "dream ticket" may be the only way to salvage the 2008 election. Sure there are a ton a downsides to it. Racism, sexism, Clintonism, Jeremiah Wright-ism and "He's really a Muslim"-ism are all great obstacles that would face a Barack/Hillary ticket. But ya know what my worst fear is? Theme song. Yes, I fear that if Obama cordially invites Clinton to the dance we will be tormented by the musical albatross that has blemished Sir Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder's illustrious careers. That's right, "Ebony and Ivory." If you think I'm being overly dramatic just click, watch and feel the horror!
