Dookus for Veep!
Edited on Tue Jun-01-04 08:59 PM by Dookus
Well, as some of you know, I've been unemployed for awhile. Try as I might, sitting on the couch is NOT causing the job offers to roll in. So I'm expanding my horizons.

Considering I don't really like to work, I naturally started looking at the cushy jobs out there. Alas, due to very poor planning on my parents' part, hereditary monarch is out. Then I decided to go for Pope, but the current occupant of the office seems inordinately attached to the job.

Then it hit me like mackerel across the face: Vice-President! It's perfect for me. The job's been described as "not worth a pitcher of warm piss", which describes me to a T! I am more than willing to cast the occasional vote in the Senate and I promise to check the internet at least every other day to make sure the President is still kicking.

In the unlikely event that I should be called upon to take on the duties of the Presidency, I would surround myself by intelligent, motivated people from DU who would actually do the heavy lifting. Further, I would commit to indulge my sexual peccadilloes ONLY with people who can keep a secret. That is my solemn vow.

Dookus for VP - say it. Repeat it. Believe it!

I thank you for your support.

My name is Dookus, and I approved this message.

13. hey!
My position on raccoons has been field-tested, polled, trial-ballooned and focus grouped.

I believe in full raccoon rights, except when people are opposed.

There's always an opening for Pope; you just have to wait a few decades and get real good at backstabbing....

6. Spit. That's, "a pitcher of warm SPIT."
But other than that, "Vice President Dookus" has a certain ring.

(Tip: You're an excellent and entertaining writer. Follow those keystrokes.)

7. "spit"
is the bowdlerized version. I believe it was John Nance Garner who said it, and he said piss. It was reported as "spit" so as not to offend the delicate sensibilities of Americans.
