April 23- I Thought I Saw a Candidate-on Wrestling?

Thanks to everyone who has sent me the picture making the rounds on the internet of the three leading presidential candidates as the Three Stooges. In fact, it seems like everyone I know-and almost everyone I DON’T know- has sent the picture to me (but, I guess when you’re involved in a show that spotlights the Stooges, it’s only natural!). And, yes, I noticed that Hillary is “Hil-LARRY” in the doctored Stooge still.
Meanwhile, the real articles (the candidates, not the Stooges- or, am I wrong about that designation?) have been all over the media, in some rather bizarre places- Monday night, while the current President, George W. Bush, was making a guest appearance on “Deal or No Deal” (make up your own joke here)-Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and John McCain were all appearing, via taped comments, on WWE Raw! Each delivered a wrestling- catchphrase tinged speech-Obama getting a few extra points by using one of Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson’s paraphrased catchphrases- “if you smell what Barack is cooking!”-followed by a grin that indicated that, yes, he understood how ridiculous that was, but, what the hey.
The Bush family is certainly not lacking in getting their own time on the airwaves- not only did the President bump fists with Howie Mandel, but his wife and daughters made
guest shots on “the Today show” Tuesday morning (wait a minute- “Today” and “Deal or No Deal”? Do the Bushes have stock in NBC or something? Will George be showing up on “the Office” or “My Name is Earl” next? If I were truly evil, I’d add “or ‘the Biggest Loser?’”) Ostensibly, it was supposed to be about celebrating Earth Day, and how tough it was (or wasn’t) for the Bush girls to be twins. No, Jenna and Barbara are not identical- no, their family never referred to them at any time as “the twins.” They each would go to different summer camps each year. They always had their own personalities, but loved being twins because it always gave them someone to share things with…so, will this cause a rift between them, now that one is getting married, and so far, the other isn’t? Or, does the prospective hubby have his own twin who will be paired with the still single Bush daughter? Have I been watching a little too much “Today” show that I’m even contemplating this? And- where in the world IS Matt Lauer?!
I am writing this blog before we have the results of the Tuesday primary…so, I have no idea as I write this as to whether Obama or Hillary has won this ballot-busting Smackdown. Maybe whoever comes up short can then make an appearance on “Deal or No Deal”-to try to secure a vice-presidential slot? Or a co-host slot with Kathy Lee Gifford on “Today”? Or, new “sharing buddy” for the unmarried Bush twin?  #    #    #
