In a word…Lame
George 2.0 and Al leave much to be desired…
Pat Buchanan? …Please
Perhaps it’s time for the American dopers to rise to the occasion…
Need:
-a catchy slogan
- a pithy platform (leave the felching out of this…)
-sleazy campaign manager and over priced spin meisters
-opposition research group (dirty tricks)
-convention with appropriate lewd behavior and freaky looking hats
- oh…and POTUS and VPOTUS candidates
Time’s a wastin’…

Sure, when …
“OINK FLAP OINK FLAP”
----well I’ll be damned!
slogan (a bit obvious): “Fighting ignorance since 1973.”
Platform: Education, education, education.
Ooooh, if I shave my head, can I be a Spin Doctor?
I think LBMB can be our oppposition, non?
I think obviously Cecil would be our POTUS. Running mate, anyone?

Prez - P.J. O’Rourke
V.P - Hunter S. Thompson
Slogan - I think we can take a direct quote from PJ. “Giving government money and power is like giving car keys and whiskey to a teenage boy.”
Platform - Your government, what the fuck do they do all day and why does it cost so goddamned much? We can’t tell you, but it’s gonna cost a lot less now. There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences.
Eh, Mullinator’s only in it for the interns.

SwimmingRiddles, I am just a little hurt that you would assume I would be so crass as to aim for the 2nd highest office in the land just for the interns.
Some of them newsbabes are pretty hot also.
Don’t forget that PJ is a teenage boy (at least at heart) who’s very happy to have his car keys and whiskey; this adds an special bit of irony to the quote.
Yeah, I remember his articles in Car & Driver. What a hoot. It makes me wish I could take a cross country drive with him.
Sorry, folks, but I’m voting Dave Barry 2000!
If, however, I receive the nomination from the SDMB to run, I just might reconsider…
