I'm Sling,and I approve this message..



'Senator Obama's office,how may I help you?'

'Yeah,..hi,..this is Sling...May I speak with Senator Obama please?'

'What is this in regards to sir?'

'Well,..I've done the math,and it seems clear that I've fallen just short of enough delegates to secure the Democratic nomination,so I'm making this courtesy call by way of concession..You know,..protocol and all that'.

' Umm,..I'm sorry.Who did you say you were?'

'Sling!..You know..Bloggertown candidate for President'.

..'Mr. Limbaugh,..if this is another crank phone call'..

'I'm Sling dammit!..Now get Obama on the horn so I can eat some friggin' crow, and see if I can't weasel some sort of Cabinet position outta the deal!'

'I'm sorry sir,but Senator Obama is much too busy to talk to every crackpot blogger suffering delusions of grandeur!'

'OH YEAH!!..Well you tell him that I'll meet him anytime,..ANYPLACE of his choosing to settle this shit!..Got that!!'

*CLICK!!*..

..thanks for your support.

An honorable gesture my good man. One can only hope the "other" candidate is equally inspired by your selfless act of true patriotism. (enter Benny Hill theme song)

Hat- I figured it was the decent thing to do.
Obviously,they just don't know who I think I am.

Oh, this was too delightful for words! And I was just thinking it was probably time to retire the Sling/Iwanski banner but, you know, out of respect for the noble and dogged race you've run, I wanted to wait until you had formally conceded.

citizen- ..and not for nothing.
I've got buttloads of souvenir bumper stickers that I plan to sell on ebay!

Sage- great..Now I've lost the lesbian vote.

I think you'd make a great Presidential Cabinet, one suitable for stashing liquor and whatnot...

allan- HA!..I was wonderin' if anybody was gonna call me on that! :)

Yellerdawg- I'd prefer Germany.
I got too much class for France..(wipes nose on sleeve).

Sling, if you are available there is that second spot...the vice prez. I'd call back and let them know your calendar is clear for a few years. It would be a shame to waste your political talents....

Hilarious!

The Sling/Iwanski presidency would have rocked, too, I'm sure! :)

What shall i do with all of my
Sling/Iwanski buttons?

I'm with Rosemary, be a gentleman and offer yourself for the second spot. Tasteful concession my friend.

 
At 6:27 AM , Blogger Sling said...

rosie- Oh,he's gonna have to call me!
I got my pride you know.

billy P.- I'll do worse than that.
I'll loosen the knobs on all his drawers!

MHP- It would have been historic!
Now it's time to set our sights on 0'12. :)

mom- Pass them on to the grandkids hon.
It will remind them of a kinder,gentler time.

doralong- He has to offer it to me first,so I can refuse it...it's complicated.

I can't belive I missed the cabinet reference.

On second thought, I totally believe it, 'cuz I'm a little slow (hence being the 18th comment.)

What I liked most about your campaign was the way I never had to see you doing any of the campaigning. Future candidates should take note.

See, they never understand. We don't SUFFER delusions of grandeur. In fact, they're more of a the best-pizza-in-a-bubbly-bath sensation.

You concede all you want, there's still that write-in slot.

you are so funny!
I want a sling button.

 
At 3:35 PM , Blogger Serena said...

LOL! If we can get you on the ballot, I'll vote for you. I can't think of anyone more qualified to take that 3:00 A.M. phone call.:)

JP- You're not slow!..oops,sorry,..y o u r ' e..n o t s l o w!.. ;)
I'm beginning to think the whole 'low profile' campaign thing may have been ill-advised.
I only got two committed delegates.
One from Guam,and the other from the guy that spray painted our address on the curb.

Booda Babe!-'We don't SUFFER delusions of grandeur. In fact, they're more of a the best-pizza-in-a-bubbly-bath sensation.'..
That was beautiful!
I'm going to steal it,and pretend I made it up myself!

lostinco- Thanks doll!..
You may purchase Sling buttons for $19.95,plus shipping and handling.
..or you can copy and paste..whichever.

serena joy- How sweet of you to say. :)..but the first thing I'd do as President,is pass a Constitutional ammendment prohibiting 3:00 A.M. phone calls.

hahhahahahahahaha! Good to be back!

 
At 7:05 PM , Blogger Sling said...

Cowbelle- Great to see you back!..
I was beginning to think you had been spirited away by the blog police.
