"You must be joking." "Do I look like I'm joking?" "Well..."

No fucking way.

Basically, the only differences between me and this guy are that a) I'm not evil and b) I don't get his fucking pension and benefits for life for doing JACK SHIT with my time. Otherwise, I could be a US Senator! I use movies to prove my points all the fucking time. Tell me it wouldn't be goddamned HIGH-FUCKING-LARIOUS for US Senator TrinityVixen to get her pant-suited ass up in front of Congress and go, "We need to do what the fuck I say, when the fuck I say it because I heard this guy in this movie that ONLY I HAVE SEEN (taps picture of said guy) said so."

Motherfucker.

That would be AWESOME!!!
I would totally vote for you.

I'd beat this guy for fucking sure. I'd put on "Batdance" and get Prince's flygirls out to back me up. You want to mess? IT IS A SENATORIAL DANCE-OFF, MY FRIENDS.

And then we could take over CNet and turn it into an entertainment channel and the senators and congresspeople could all do music videos and there'd be karaokes whenever a vote was taken and . . .

Y'know, this just might save us all. Make the government more entertaining--in a good way, not the traffic-accident way it has been--and people might pay more attention. And actually gt involved. And care.

Quick, call J.J. Abrams! Get him started crafting your election campaign!

Three words, dude: House of Parliament.

I would also insist on coming to every meeting in a black cloak with the hood drawn over my face such that it covered all but my mouth. I would insist on being addressed as "Master" when I'm Senate Majority Leader. Darth TrinityVixen would be most displeased were it otherwise.

No no, black is all wrong. you need a cloak made from the flag, with the stars over your face. That way you're patriotic!

::hisses:: "I wear the flag, fellow Sith. Truly none can say that I am not the most dedicated to the Empir--er, Republic!" ::hisses::

Careful or I'm going to take that photo of you from the party and Photoshop it into an election poster. :)

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

...but I look too normal!!! Unless the pictures are even less flattering than my usual...

[gryphonrose.livejournal.com]

It's the wonders of Photoshop. We can make anyone into a Sith Lord/U.S. Senator!

SOLD!

You know, there are plenty of perfectly good reasons to oppose the bailout plans. There are some half-decent ones to support them. Why does congress insist on using and harping on the stupidest ones they can come up with for both sides?

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Because they forget that what we allow on the campaign trail--McCain's "celebrity" ad, for example--looks re-goddamned-diculous when performed in the Senate chambers. It's not the Houses of Parliament.

(I wish. Gordon Brown flubbed a line about "saving the banks" as "saving the world," and a room full of MPs laughed in his goddamned face, it was great.)

Because Congress is composed of people who are appealing to its constituencies, who are predominantly drooling simpletons.

Grassley's an asshole, but he's entrenched. We have a democratic governor and senator, but we're not getting rid of Grassley until he dies.

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

::sigh:: I suppose I can look forward to more of these presentations, mm?

Unless you want to write to Gov. Culver and try to get him to run. He might have a chance.
