3 AM Nightmares

I keep having dreams about that political ad:

"It's 3am at the White House. The phone rings. But no one answers.

President Hillary Clinton is up Pennsylvania Avenue at the Hawk and the Dove, a neighborhood bar, throwing back shots and beers.

She's hammered.

A Tammy Wynette song she never liked is playing on the jukebox. Her Secret Service designated driver stands close by as POTUS mumbles her latest war story about avoiding sniper fire as she landed at Camp David.

She's a little annoyed. Vice President Barack Obama was supposed to meet her here, but he never came. She shouldn't be surprised. He never could find this place, at least not since the Pennsylvania primary.

Senator John McCain is also a no-show which is really a disappointment, since he used to drink at this bar every night back when he was at the Naval Academy.

The only time he comes now is when he's hangin' out with his reporter buddies.

Finally it's closing time. The President sings "One for my Baby and One More for the Road' before she staggers to her motorcade.

Tomorrow is a busy day. She has to go over a speech by her husband, Bill to make sure he doesn't say something that will embarrass her again.

Meanwhile back at the White House the phone rings and rings."

Maybe from now on, they should just forward the calls at 3AM to that bar..."

I've gotta talk to my Therapist about these dreams.

DC bars are not open to take 3 a.m. calls Monday through Friday and on Saturday and Sunday mornings they're already pushing the patrons out the door. "You don't have to go home but you can't stay here." You can double check the Hawk N Dove hours here: http://www.hawkanddoveonline.com/

Actually, the scenario goes like this: It's 3 AM and Hillary answers the phone. The caller advisesr her that Iran is up to something and Hillary's late-night memory kicks in. She says, "As I recall, they took a shot at ME last time I was there. I'll email you the launch codes".

I have a sincere question:

"is hating Sen. Clinton some sort of endorsement of Sen. Obama?"

I mean really, when I hear this hatred of Sen. Clinton, and these ridiculous over-the-top exaggerated mischaracterizations of her, am I supposed to say to myself "Obama is qualified to be President!"

It seems to me that if you could find any substantial qualifications and abilities in Sen. Obama to cite and endorse him on, then you would do that... it seems to me.

But to pass over even trying to claim some quality in Sen. Obama that might make him qualified or able to be President, and instead to make acidic and purely fictional scenarios out of your strange imagination, in order to ridicule Sen. Clinton... well, I can't for the life of me figure out how such dark stuff as that, casts any good light or shine on Sen. Obama.


Well anyway, keep up the bad work.

Agreed, maybe Franken should call up his friends a CNN, they would sure be willing to rehire him. Who knew that he could have done anything other that host Headline News.
