Guest Cancer Marney Posted September 22, 2002 Report Posted September 22, 2002 My party's candidate for Governor of the State of Michigan is called... Dick Posthumus. <sigh> God and the RNC are mocking me.
Guest Mystery Eskimo Posted September 22, 2002 Report Posted September 22, 2002 He sounds like one one of the candidates from the Monty Python Silly vs Sensible party election.
Guest DeputyHawk Posted September 22, 2002 Report Posted September 22, 2002 nice. i used to have an english family friend called godfrey heaven. i guess that's only funny with a scottish accent, though.
Guest Cancer Marney Posted September 22, 2002 Report Posted September 22, 2002 You think that's bad... autumn 1999, we wanted to get a state senator elected in Mississippi. No incumbent, and although Mississippi can sometimes be a pretty Democratic state, his district was conservative, and he was much stronger than his opponent. No problem, right? Well, just one. His name is Rich White. For some unfathomable reason, no one caught this. So the first few banner designs read: "Vote for Rich White, Republican." We didn't allow anyone to call him anything but "Richard" for the rest of the campaign.
Guest Mystery Eskimo Posted September 22, 2002 Report Posted September 22, 2002 I can't beat these. The only amusingly named British politician I can think of is..um...Virginia Bottomely. Which isn't that amusing. On a totally random sidetrack, what do people here think of PJ O'Rourke?
Guest kkktookmybabyaway Posted September 22, 2002 Report Posted September 22, 2002 Marney, at least your guy's name wasn't Ben Dover... Oh, wait, that's what politicans call taxpayers...
Guest DrTom Posted September 22, 2002 Report Posted September 22, 2002 Pinned, since an election year is bound to stir up the political humor, nifty cartoons, and good old-fashioned attack ads.
Guest Some Guy Posted September 22, 2002 Report Posted September 22, 2002 Am I the only onw who finds it funny that the current adminstration had a Dick, a Bush, and a Colin?
Guest Kotzenjunge Posted September 22, 2002 Report Posted September 22, 2002 I am really not looking forward to running for any kind of office, even though I can't wait to at the same time. Spoon just isn't a marketable name. Fo sheez, Kotzenjunge
Guest Some Guy Posted September 22, 2002 Report Posted September 22, 2002 If you were a porn star it would be, but the name would limit you to just one position.
Guest Kotzenjunge Posted September 22, 2002 Report Posted September 22, 2002 Sadly, this is not really much of an option for me. Well, due to my appearance, maybe Emo porn, if such a thing exists. Fo sheez, Kotzenjunge
Guest Vern Gagne Posted September 22, 2002 Report Posted September 22, 2002 My campaign slogan in 2020. A perfect vision for the future.
Guest Phr33k Posted September 22, 2002 Report Posted September 22, 2002 I've said it before, I'll say it again: Former Mayor of Calgary Al Duerr. Then some woman named Bev Longstaff wanted to succeed him. I'm thankful we got Bronco instead.
Guest Vern Gagne Posted September 22, 2002 Report Posted September 22, 2002 ...dork. <g> Will you still vote for me!
Guest Cancer Marney Posted September 22, 2002 Report Posted September 22, 2002 If you'll force Congress to make it a felony crime to be fat. That way we can not only beautify the nation, we can also expel and arrest at least 80% of the House and 90% of the Senate. Merely a step towards progress, you say? True, but a good first step.
Guest J*ingus Posted September 22, 2002 Report Posted September 22, 2002 ::whacks Marney with his belly::
Guest Cancer Marney Posted September 22, 2002 Report Posted September 22, 2002 <skips out of the way> Whoa there... you have 18 years to get in shape. <g>

You've got yourself a deal. I'll need V.P. and good campaign manager.
Guest Some Guy Posted September 22, 2002 Report Posted September 22, 2002 If you chose Marney as your running mate then you'd have my vote and then I'd kill you to make Marney President.

Guest Powerplay Posted September 22, 2002 Report Posted September 22, 2002 My party's candidate for Governor of the State of Michigan is called... Dick Posthumus. <sigh> God and the RNC are mocking me. JESUS CHRIST, YOU LIVE IN MICHIGAN!!! God, so do I. I dunno why that strikes me as freaky, but I guess I always pictured you more of an East Coaster or someone somewhere else. Very odd, but I think I can maybe get a better understanding of you. On the Dick Posthumus side: Hey, sorry, but he's gonna have his ass handed to him by Granholm. Hell, Bonior stood a damn good chance of beating him (I won't go as far to say Blanchard had a chance, though). Being associated with John Engler (Someone who has been endlessly demonized by many people) really hurts him, plus being someone who is relatively unrecognized for any of his achievements (I don't know what they are, Marney could you help?) makes him a horrible candidate. Almost a total reverse from John Engler destroying some throw-together Democratic candidate.
Guest J*ingus Posted September 22, 2002 Report Posted September 22, 2002 Actually, having Marney as President would tidily clean up a potentially messy situation for many hardcore conservative fundamentalists: we could have a female Prez, yet still not be forced to invent a male version of the office of First Lady.
Guest Cancer Marney Posted September 22, 2002 Report Posted September 22, 2002 Sorry, guys... I'm flattered, but I'm afraid I can't ever run for President or Vice President. <g> I'm American, yes, but I was born in Copenhagen.
Guest Some Guy Posted September 22, 2002 Report Posted September 22, 2002 Plus we'd get HLA in the Oval Office! I want satelite photos!
Guest Cancer Marney Posted September 22, 2002 Report Posted September 22, 2002 I always pictured you more of an East Coaster I am an East Coaster. <g> I live about 15 minutes away from the EEOB and the White House and 25 minutes from Quantico. Re: Dick Posthumus I don't know anything about his record; I didn't even know who the Lieutenant-Governor was until I read his name in a memo... I can't tell you anything about his record or his achievements but he has a campaign website here. Whether it's accurate or not I couldn't say. So a smart, pretty blonde is going to win the governorship instead? Y'know what, I think I can overlook the fact that she's a Democrat. Twist my arm.
Guest Cancer Marney Posted September 22, 2002 Report Posted September 22, 2002 we'd get HLA in the Oval Office! HLA?
