May 30, 2008 - Friday Funny- Democrat Primary Season

This week’s FRIDAY FUNNY almost made it as a PET PEEVE MONDAY (PPM).

It concerns the Democrats’ long national nightmare known as the PRIMARY PROCESS. It if wasn’t so funny, it would be tragic.

The Democrat’s candidate election process is reminiscent of a Barney Fife sting operation. It could be a great episode of Candid Camera. Someone call Ripley, because I don’t believe it. John McEnroe can be heard screaming “You can NOT be Serious!!! ?” Do you need more examples or was that enough?

First there was the de-certification of Michigan and Florida primaries because they moved their primaries ahead of New Hampshire.

Then it was the debacle concerning the elevation of ordinary people to Super Hero status by labeling them as SUPER DELEGATES.

Now comes the Puerto Rico primary. Puerto Rico is NOT a state. Puerto Ricans are NOT eligible to vote in the general election. Yet there are 55 delegates at stake in Saturday’s Puerto Rico Primary. Last week, Oregon had 52 delegates and Kentucky had 51 delegates in their primaries. Somehow, representative of people that can’t vote have more impact than actual voters in 2 states.

I would expect this if we lived in Zimbabwe or Venezuela, but here?

The good news for those of you in Puerto Rico is that Ricky Martin has come out of closet and professed his support for Hillary Clinton. He is really “Living the Vita Loca.”

My grandfather always said, “You don’t prune a dead tree.” Coming out in support of Hillary at this time, is not the best career decision. Oops, my bad. Ricky Martin and career decision should not be used in the same sentence.

At any rate, I hope the no one tells the Democrats to make a choice and move on. John McCain may not be my first choice. But he is the lesser of three evils. Ironically, my Grandpa didn’t have a saying about that.
