I gotta migraine… almost missed doing this 🙁

BURBANK, CA. At a press conference today from Beautiful Downtown Burbank, The Unknown Comic announced the formation of a Political Action Committee comprised of many of America’s foremost comics.

“Individually, we cannot endorse a candidate as we have each sworn to uphold the Comedicratic Oath to ridicule every politician equally. But as a group we can anonymously support Mike Huckabee, and therefore have formed The United Professional Comedians for Huckabee.   (U.P.C.HUCK)  

He’s a Godsend!”

The comic, who shall remain unknown, went on to say that although U.P.C.HUCK opposes all of Huckabee’s positions on everything, his election in 2008 would be in the best financial interest of the Comedy Industry.

The vote was nearly unanimous, with only one negative vote for Huckabee.

Following the announcement, several prominent members agreed to make statements providing that their identities were withheld.

    “If this guy is nominated, I can think of at least

10 Top Reasons he should be elected President.

Number One would be..”

“Because it would prove that God has a sense of humor. Which would explain both the existence of the Duck Billed Platypus and Mike Hukabee’s election.”

  “Hey, Huck’s a riot. So much material to work with, mostly from his old suits.”

“Let’s see, he gave a get out of jail card to a murderer..well, maybe scratch that one.

 Oh, he denied abortion funding for a mentally impaired 15 year-old that was raped by her step father….uh, skip that one too.

Hey, can I change my vote to Romney, he wears Magic Underwear.”

.

.

.

 “3 reasons I support him, Huckabee , Huckabee, Huckabee.

…it’s a funny name.”

“Think of the new catch phrases we can use;

Huck of a job, Brownie!

What the huck?

We’re hucked.”

“And then there’s the God talking to him on his cellphone bit.

No wonder the RNC is broke. Heaven is way out of their calling area.”

.

 The lone dissenting vote was cast from the Blue Dog Wing of U.P.C.HUCK.

 

“I just can’t support this man after what his son, the Boy Scout, did to our Little Augie Doggie. Sure, some of the stuff he does leaves me howling in laughter, but any one who fails to discipline his kid for torturing and killing a dog…. he could have at least smacked him on the nose with a newspaper or made him sleep in the garage.

 I support Rudy, now there’s a guy who cares about dogs. I mean, police protection for his mistress’ pooch…now that passes my sniff test.

Also, I think it’s not right to laugh at a man’s religion. After all, God is Dog spelled backwards. ”

I thought it would be a good idea to post the entirety of Klein’s posts since Monday, at Swampland and at Time Magazine, on the Dodd filibuster maneuver and Reid’s pulling of the FISA telecom immunity bill:

On November 26, Glenn Greenwald noted, “In the last five days alone, Klein has now written five separate times about his FISA debacle”.

Also on November 26, Klein wrote:

I have neither the time nor legal background to figure out who’s right (ADD: about this minor detail of a bill that will never find its way out of the Congress). A court would probably have to make that determination if the House Democratic bill ever became law. But it won’t. Some version of the bill now working its way through the Senate probably will be the final Congressional product. It will most likely (a) be bipartisan (b) including generally acceptable language on basket warrants and (c) some sort of limited immunity deal for telecoms that can prove they received specific requests from the Bush Administration for information of the sort that will be made legal by the revised FISA reform–in other words, a grandfather clause. Again, let me say that I’m whole-heartedly in favor of such a bill…and George Bush won’t be. But he won’t have a choice if it is passed by a veto-proof majority.

Incidentally, in the Time “Person of the Year” edition, Klein will give “Teddy Awards” (named after Teddy Roosevelt dontcha know) for political courage to three Democratic candidates for President: to Hillary Clinton for revisiting health care on the campaign trail, to Joe Biden for voting for Iraq funding, and to Barack Obama for saying he was in favor of merit pay for teachers, which lost him the teachers’ unions.  Klein appears to have posted this story to the Time Magazine website on Tuesday, December 18.  Dodd is not mentioned.
