"The insurgent administration of long-shot Presidential hopeful Ron Paul got off to a quixotic start today with a quirky speech announcing he would "bring the troops home". This unpopular move has been widely criticized by experts like Frank Luntz as a "...dangerous idea from a fringe President that is nowhere in the polls."
Meanwhile, America's Mayor, Mr. Rudolph Giuliani, continues to call for a re-count in the hotly disputed election where an unlikely Libertarian candidate was able to finish just ahead of second place. Speaking before a packed press conference, Mr. Giuliani stood like a Titan.
"9/11 changed everything - including the vote tally. Al Qaeda obviously hacked the machines. I'm calling for 911 volunteers to do a recount."
But a recount seems unlikely since all paper ballots were ordered destroyed immediately after the voting by San Diego County's Registrar of voters, Deborah Seiler. "A recount would only create more work for everyone." Ms. Seiler, who previously worked for Diebold, was feverishly trying to put out a fire she appeared to have started in her wastepaper basket.
In other news, there's real hope for America as the Candidate For Change, Barack Obama, promised to "beat everyone - including that guy" in a future election. Who could forget the image of Senator Obama as he finished in a powerful second place in the recent election?
Obama's victory saw him finish just ahead of such brilliant men as Mike Huckabee, Fred Thompson and that hero of 9/11, Rudolph Giuliani. The maestro of polling, Frank Luntz, agrees that "Second place is probably the best finish ever... My focus group agrees that no-one could possibly do better than second."
