Open Mic: Sniper Fire in the Raw

Sniper fire was heard outside the Washington, DC headquarters of the Hillary Clinton campaign. The noise was heard shortly after the New York Senator answered a 3 AM telephone call from a would-be Florida delegate. “Shame on you Barrack Obama,” Mrs. Clinton told reporters several hours later, “ if you had any judgment you would have warned me that Mark Penn was not an effective voice for my campaign.”
Penn had a preponderance of influence in the Clinton campaign, and reportedly constantly told the former first lady that the “pant suit” she was wearing was not only flattering, but made up of an “aura” that would put her on a fast train to the White House. Penn refused to let the Senator see campaign staffers who wanted to show her press clippings that pointed out she was campaigning in the raw.
In the midst of poll numbers that dropped in every community in which Clinton campaigned, persistent campaign staffers finally cornered Penn as he was preparing to send Clinton “naked” to a traditional Pennsylvania Amish community barn-raising. “It’s time that the senator saw Mr. Penn naked, instead of vice versa,” a campaign staffer said.
When you visit the Mainstage Comedy and Music Club in Seattle, you won’t see any naked politicians. Still, at the regular Tuesday night open mic for comedians — led by Derek Sheen — at 7pm and musicians at 9 pm, you’ll hear naked stories, some of which may make you blush. It might even make you blush enough to avoid a political career.
