Facing certain defeat due to Barack Obama’s insurmountable lead and his refusal to look for sex in public bathrooms, Senator Hillary Clinton resigned from the race for the Democratic presidential nomination on Tuesday night.

She then immediately accepted the Libertarian Party nomination, which was offered to her outright in a shocking and unprecedented move by a political party long believed by casual observers to identify more closely with Republicans than with Democrats.

Former Libertarian Party frontrunner and Johnny-come-lately Bob Barr could not be satisfactorily sedated for comment.

“I offer the Libertarian Party a revitalized vision,” Clinton told a small but enthusiastic crowd of party insiders. “Henceforth, let our motto be, ‘What about the children?’”

“She’s our man,” said Libertarian Party spokesman Will Cave. “She’s privatizing her health care model. Everyone will have to pay fifty cents to see a doctor or have brain surgery.

“She will order Homeland Security to eliminate some domestic spying programs that can be turned over to local police or voluntarily managed by busybody sheep with cell phone cameras.

“She also will not allow her vice president to run roughshod over the rest of the world. That’s her job, and he’ll just be her paid lackey,” Cave concluded.

I love satire.

I loved the “cound not be satisfactorily sedated for comment” line. Now I’ve got to find a Barack one.
