Rand Paul: Poking Fun At Jeb And Hillary
[guest post by Dana]
Slyly killing two dynasties with one stone, Rand Paul released a “fake” phone call between Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton, humorously mocking the political dynasties of both families:
BUSH: “Hey, Hill. It’s Jeb.”
CLINTON: “Hey, Jeb. To what do I owe this pleasure?”
BUSH: “Well, it’s true — I’m thinking about running for president.”
CLINTON: “Well, Jeb, so am I.”
BUSH: “I just wanted to call and give you a heads-up in hopes we could work something out.”
CLINTON: “What do you mean, Jeb? It’s clearly my turn: Bush, Clinton, Bush. Now, Clinton.”
BUSH: “Well, Hillary, there hasn’t been a Republican White House without a Bush since 1977, and we’re ready to be back.”
CLINTON: “Let me shoot straight with you, Jeb, OK? Bill and I are dead broke and need a place to stay. 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is calling me home — I’ve still got the back door key. Being president offers a lot more job security than writing another memoir.”
BUSH: “Well, the Bushes have weathered attacks before. And READ MY LIPS, Hillary: We’re not backing down this time.”
CLINTON: “Well, you’re right — maybe we can work something out. We both agree on so many issues: bigger government, Common Core, and amnesty for illegal immigrants.”
BUSH: “Well, we’ve both got problems. You’ve got problems with the grass roots, and I’ve got all those damn conservatives. What say, we make a deal?”
[Call beeps in.]
BUSH: “Sorry, Hillary, but I have to go. Mitt keeps calling.”
CLINTON: “Oh, for crying out loud.”
It’s pretty funny to listen to because the actors’ voices sound just like the real Bush and Clinton.

i pretty reliably see the humor in things

Dana (8e74ce) — 1/29/2015 @ 5:16 pmRaPaul does have a modest sense of humor going for him. That should get him of a scrape or two.
DNF (052874) — 1/29/2015 @ 5:25 pmoligarchy lol?
happyfeet (831175) — 1/29/2015 @ 5:45 pmThat is funny. If Rand were not himself part of a 2 generation political family with some baggage the joke would be even better and more cutting.
elissa (4a576d) — 1/29/2015 @ 5:48 pmRand Paul should stick to this kind of stuff. Being a gadfly. Cruz too. At least they’re credible on “authenticity”. Rubio should work to get the nominee the Miami vote — nobody else is going to believe there’s anything sincere about him.
nk (dbc370) — 1/29/2015 @ 6:17 pmSide note: Rubio missed the Keystone vote today. He was fundraising instead. Does it really matter? At this point in time, what difference does it make…. the veto is happening.
Dana (8e74ce) — 1/29/2015 @ 6:23 pmIf they have 67 votes, Obama might think twice about a veto.
nk (dbc370) — 1/29/2015 @ 6:26 pmRubio is known to be among the supporters of the Keystone Pipeline bill.
Sammy Finkelman (e806a6) — 1/29/2015 @ 6:37 pmIn Israel, there are no 60 second ads, if I am correct, but political parties get to broadcast ads in bloc, so they try to create Saturday Night Live type skits, like this one, so people will watch them and circulate them over the Internet.
Sammy Finkelman (e806a6) — 1/29/2015 @ 6:41 pm10. Brit Hume says Diva the Won should put on her best big boy pants and be conciliatory toward Beebs and maybe the latter won’t be so motivated to steal her lunch before Congress.
DNF (052874) — 1/29/2015 @ 6:57 pmI’m sure that if Rubio’s vote had been needed to put Keystone over the top today he’d have been there. It was good to see some Dem votes, though. I am still not 100% convinced Obama will veto Keystone if it passes both houses with considerable Dem support. It would just be a petulant and childish “because I can” vote for him, and he’s seen the polls I’m sure. There are many other bills coming down the pike that he can veto to prove his manhood– bills that he cares about much more, on policy that he’s more personally invested in.
elissa (4a576d) — 1/29/2015 @ 7:06 pmJustin Amash is wrong on this. Our insatiable hunger for brown people’s hydrocarbons has misshaped our foreign policy for too long. We should get our hands on as much white North Americans’ oil as we can.
nk (dbc370) — 1/29/2015 @ 7:16 pmIndeed,nk.
mg (31009b) — 1/29/2015 @ 8:37 pmRaPaul did good, but I wonder if he has enough self awareness to take the barbs directed at him with good humor.
Agree above 5 & 6, though I like Cruz too much to write him off just yet.
Re: 13 & 14 – Reason why I can’t support Libertarians
Chris Kyle is moving the culture away from blame America because they are seeing his story is not about blood for oil.
As more veterans get involved in politics, the shift will continue.
Steve Malynn (c96bd8) — 1/29/2015 @ 10:54 pmDang it, linked the wrong article to my blockquote in #15.
Here is what I wanted to do:
I will get the hang of this eventually.
Steve Malynn (6b1ce5) — 1/29/2015 @ 11:56 pmI was an SE and I gave up.
Otherwise agree completely.

happyfeet (a037ad) — 1/30/2015 @ 6:27 amMeh.
I don’t find it very funny but I do find it quite sophomoric.
Mark Johnson (77a382) — 1/30/2015 @ 7:49 amBreaking on FOX News, Romney announces he’s out of presidential race – just too difficult. Former financial backers and former staffers unwilling to sign up for duration. Despite leading in the polls, Romney withdraws.

papertiger (c2d6da) — 1/30/2015 @ 8:32 amYou know what would be funny, a fake phone call from Ron Paul to Rand Paul with Ron telling Rand that he had decided to run for president again because the country needed him.
daleyrocks (bf33e9) — 1/30/2015 @ 8:35 amMittens is out!
/me does happy dance
redc1c4 (6d1848) — 1/30/2015 @ 8:37 amred,
Yes, but he has done what he intended to do: Stop Jeb from running away with it. You should do a happy dance for that, too.
