I just got a flashback! I’m hearing former Yankeee Franks spokesman; Louis Tiant, doing the voice overs for their campain commercials.

Actually Mr. Hertz will be Mr. Hunt’s running mate. The party hacks have not yet decided who will run for prez, and who will get the VP bid. Also it should be noted that Mr. Hertz is 6’ 5" and weighs over 300 lbs.  
So some of the potential campain slogans that the party is looking at:  
(for a lawn sign)  
**Vote for  
Big Dick Hertz  
Mike Hunt**

or if the ticket is arranged the other way around this is the bumper sticker that would appear  
**Cunt / Hertz in 08**

So, who else wants to set up a campaign website for this guy? Who’s with me?

(It’s not illegal to set up a campaign website for someone without their knowledge, is it? :D)

No.

It would read **Hunt/Hertz in 08**.

After much soul-searching, I’ve decided not to post the obvious response to that straight line. 😉

We interrupt this thread for a true anecdote:

When I was a lad considering a career in radio, I came up with the airname of - you guessed it: Mike Hunt. Didn’t have a clue as to how that could be misheard. Thank Og I never used it!

True political headline from _The Hutchinson News_ some years ago:  
Dick to Face Judge Long

Carry on. Didn’t mean to snatch this thread from y’all.
