Everyone's a Comedian: How to Pick a Presidential Candidate

Frequently Letters to the Editor are quite funny and clever.  I love this one from today's [1/15] Los Angeles Daily News that begged to be expanded.

Voters' Guide 

Can't decide which candidate to vote for in the primary? Here's an illustration to help. If a fire were burning on the White House lawn, here's how each of the candidates would react:

Clinton - The Republicans started that fire and it would be divisive of me to put it out.

Obama - Let's try diplomatic means to extinguish the blaze.

Edwards - I'm not going to get rid of the blaze, but I'll apologize for it later.

Kucinich - He put the fire out immediately, but you only heard about it on Air America and Public Radio.

- Elaine Berman, Sherman Oaks

Republican candidates are conspicusously absent, so for all the Republicans, here's your quick picks in this presidential horserace.

Giuliani: A spark left over from 9/11 started it, so you can count on NYFD to put it out the minute they find a working radio.

McCain: Fire is his "friend," he supports people like Bush who've burned him.

Romney: Will put the H.O.V.F.D. (Harem of Volunteers) right on it as soon as they get done arguing about what to wear.

Huckabee: Will pray for rain.

Paul: In spite of the hype from his supporters, he'll show up last.

Thompson: Will send in the D.A. because it's an arson fire.

 

Sandy Sand began her writing career while raising three children and doing public relations work for Women's American ORT (Organization for Rehabilitation through Training). That led to a job as a reporter for the San Fernando Valley Chronicle, a weekly publication in Canoga Park, California. In conjunction with the Chronicle, she broadcast a tri-weekly, ten minuted newscast for KGOE AM. Following the closure of the Chronicle, Sand became the editor of the Tolucan Times and Canyon Crier newspapers in Burbank. She is currently a guest columnist for the Los Angeles Daily News and contributor to ronkayela.com

I know he's not a candidate...

...but DUBYA would do the following:

He'd have Dick(LESS) give a no-bid contract to the fire fighting wing of Halliburton. Then he'd dump lots of gasoline on the fire. Then he'd be tell everyone there wasn't a fire. Then, he'd 'fess up and admit there was a fire, but he'd say the fire was congress' fault for not giving him all the money he wanted to fund the War against Combustion.

Blessed be!
