My 1.5 Minutes of Fame!

Sitting at my desk this afternoon listening to the one and only Miss Randi Rhodes on Air America when I hear her put out a call for predictions on what "October Surprise" Bush will unveil to slam-dunk the 2004 election. The grand prize? Nothing less than a brand-new waffle iron!

So.....in a fit of rushed inspiration I quickly fired off the following:

"Digging deep into the Lee Atwater Bible of Republican Dirty Tricks, Rove and Bush will produce a Photoshop-altered image of a Speedo-clad John Kerry serving mimosas to young boys at a NAMBLA pool party hosted by Michael Jackson and Paul Reubens (aka Pee Wee Herman). On the heels of the subsequent media firestorm that will ensue, Osama bin Laden will be "captured" and brought to the U.S. along with Saddam Hussein where they will both be strapped to the hood of a specially-designed presidential race car that George W. Bush will pilot for an obligatory victory lap at the NASCAR Bass Pro Shops MBNA 500 being held at the Atlanta Motor Speedway on October 31. Cheers! Dave in AZ"

Like an idiot I hit the "Send" button too soon and the post got cut in half. So I sent the last half with the NASCAR bit which Randi proceeded to read at about 2 hours and 10 minutes into her show today.

A replay of today's show will air later tonight or early tomorrow morning. Now if I can only find a way to record it.
