BILL CLINTON IS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT!!1!!
Bill Clinton: 'Screw It, I'm Running For President'

CHARLESTON, SC—After spending two months accompanying his wife, Hillary, on the campaign trail, former president Bill Clinton announced Monday that he is joining the 2008 presidential race, saying he "could no longer resist the urge."

"My fellow Americans, I am sick and tired of not being president," said Clinton, introducing his wife at a "Hillary '08" rally. "For seven agonizing years, I have sat idly by as others experienced the joys of campaigning, debating, and interacting with the people of this great nation, and I simply cannot take it anymore. I have to be president again. I have to."

He continued, "It is with a great sense of relief that I say to all of you today, 'Screw it. I'm in.'"

In a show of respect, Clinton then completed his introduction of Hillary Clinton, calling her a "wonderful wife and worthy political adversary," and warmly shook her hand as she approached the podium. A clearly shocked Mrs. Clinton got halfway through her speech about the nation's obligation to its children before walking briskly offstage.

A spokesman for Sen. Clinton's campaign had no comment.

4. Someone actually had the courage to post it in GD-Primaries.
:scared: They didn't get flamed too bad either!

Yes, I actually ventured into GD-Primaries!

BTW, any word on what Snyder is doing about the coaching position?

6. Whomever posted that in
the GD- Primaries for children (how I think of it) has a lot of BALLS! Kudos for you going in there...I actually posted something in there recently...but you know, my tolerance for childish name calling is a little low right now...
As for the Skins, nothing but Fossel is still the "front-runner".:banghead:

7. They make us Loungers and the Mercer folks look the most competent!
I can't believe he is looking at Fassel! Will he then bring a Brian Billick as an Offensive Consultant?

:wtf:

2. Words that even a fictional Bill Clinton shouldn't say: "Screw it. I'm in."
:rofl:

Gotta love the Onion.

3. I'd vote for him a 5th and 6th time.

Just because I'm stubborn that way. Plus it seems to really piss the "0" people off and I get a sense of cocky satisfaction out of pissing them off. It's much like a game with me now just for shits and giggles. :evilgrin:
