Chris Dodd Is Running For President
DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE LOOKS LIKE THE GUY FROM THE NAKED GUN MOVIES, EXCEPT OLDER AND ANGRIER
FITSNews – January 11, 2007 – Chris Dodd is a U.S. Senator from Connecticut, which as it turns out is a lot more fun to call CONNECT-icut instead of CUNNET-icut, which we have always thought sounded more like an STD than a state.
Anyway, the only other thing we know about Chris Dodd we learned this morning, namely that he is running for president.
“I know how to do this,” Dodd told radio host Don Imus this morning in announcing his candidacy. “I know what has to be done.”
That’s wonderful. In other news, a tree fell in the woods somewhere in Oregon. Oregon, which incidentally is the other state that sounds a lot like something you might get from sleeping with Paris Hilton.
Look, Dodd doesn’t have a Brownback of becoming president, but South Carolina will take his tourist revenue. And South Carolina is a state that thrives on tourist revenue.
In fact, we use a big beach ball and an umbrella to symbolize tourism in the “South Carolina Socks” sock puppet show we put on for special needs children all across the state.
Seriously, you should just see their little faces light up when “Moultrie the Sock” tips the beach ball out into the cafeteria bleachers and lets them go nuts with it.
Learning is supposed to be fun, people. Especially if you ride the short bus.

Here’s the thing…I know it’s way more fun to knock the stuffing out of these guys when they decide to try for President – but BEFORE writing some inane comments about the “only thing we know about Dodd” could you take five seconds to LEARN about Dodd? http://www.chrisdodd.com. Hey – if you educate yourself and then decide he’s not qualified, knock away…but I read about him – I think there’s something there. He’s qualified. He’s smart. He’s worth looking into. Once you do that, then you might not ahve to make the forced seque into the “tree falling into the woods onto Paris Hilton” thing.

Or we could not learn about Chris Dodd, say we did and continue being unapologetic smart asses.
Kidding, kidding.
We had planned all along on calling the Senator’s campaign office and hopefully spending some QT with him on one of his SC visits. And hopefully our definition of QT (chillaxing at the pool table with a bottle of non-alcoholic suds) will be amenable to him.
As you can tell by our latest Bill Richardson post, when these cats come down here, we give ‘em a substantive and relatively even-handed once over.
Unless of course their only availability falls during the time we set aside each weeknight to make balloon animals for at-risk, low income children at the local community center. When it comes to the kids, even Presidential politics has to take a back seat.
