Not wanting to face overthrow by Wallace and a squad of Bill O'Reilly's interns, Obama and Roberts took a second run at the oath last night. Everything went swimmingly, as Obama was sworn in using...what, a TV Guide that Bush left lying around? Whatever it was, or wasn't, it was not a Bible. There's no way that passes the Wallace test.
My faith in Roberts and Obama is badly shaken, but I want to help. To that end, here are 5 ways they can screw up their eventual 3rd try. Hopefully, they can use it as a guide, either for what not to do, or to at least screw it up funny.
Top 5 Ways Obama and Roberts Will Screw Up 3rd Swearing-In
#5 - Roberts: "Do you, Barack Hussein Obama, take me to be your lawfully wedded wife?"
Obama: "I do." #4 - Instead of a Bible, Roberts brings along "The Office's" Dwight Shrute. He tells perplexed onlookers "What? I'm administering the Oaf of Office."
#3 - Roberts: "Who's on First?"
Obama: "That's right."
Roberts: "What's right?"
Obama: "Oh, I see your confusion. The player's names are also interrogative pronouns."
#2 - They use a Bible, but it's the New International Version. Why not just use a Playboy magazine, you blasphemers?
#1 - Instead of swearing in, they just start to swear. Actually, we at Political Machine have put together a simulation of this one:
In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.
