Heneghen: A Dream Ticket

The Democratic race for President took on a new twist today, as Hillary Clinton announced the formation of her bi-partisan “dream ticket.” The junior senator from New York says she will pick the senior center from Arizona, John McCain, to be her running mate in the fall election. “I want to thank my friend and fellow Senator, Joe Lieberman,” Clinton said in making her announcement. “He worked hard in the background to make this dream ticket possible.”
The announcement came just outside the US Senate cloakroom, as all three major presidential candidates gathered back in Washington, DC for what was described as an “otherwise mundane session.” McCain was not immediately available for comment after Clinton’s announcement, but was seen in the Senate Men’s room, washing off a large amount of lipstick. If McCain, the presumptive GOP nominee for President, agrees to run on a proposed Clinton ticket, it could set back the Republican campaign to retain the White House.
Clinton said the proposed ticket would make her a shoe-in for the Democratic nomination in the eyes of the super delegates that will ultimately decide the ticket at the party convention in Denver this summer. “When that red telephone in the White House rings at 3AM, the only qualified people in the entire country will be there to answer it — myself, Senator McCain, and my husband.” Clinton noted. “Imagine those terrorists quaking in their boots knowing that there are three well-equipped leaders lying next to that bedside phone.”
Sen. Barrack Obama also had no immediate comment on Clinton’s selection. Aides say the Illinois senator has not yet selected a potential running mate, but he is considering an older white executive type who has a warm relationship with members of the opposite sex. Although former New York Governor Elliot Spitzer is currently available, the aide declined to speculate on a name.
James Heneghen is on everyone’s short list for a comic relief ticket. While Heneghen has not been publically committed to a candidate, there are some who speculate that he should be committed.
