How many of you out there remember Mad-Libs?
If you don’t, it went something like this:
A famous or noted phrase was taken, and then verbs and nouns were removed, allowing players to insert words oftheir choice. You could come up with some great humor that way, and I spent hours in the car on long trips as a kid playing the game.
At any rate, now that every liberal in the House and Senate is running for the Democrat nomination, I thought it would be fun if I created a special series for the candidates. Thus, I introduce the first edition of Presidential Mad Libs (and yes, I think Mad Libs is a punny title and intend to keep it).
Week 1’s submission, from Dick ‘Gebhardt’s’ announcement today:
Fill in the following and then click on the extended link below to fill them in in the appropriate place. Don’t forget to submit your Presidential Mad Lib in the comments section. I will select the winner, and the reward will be a prominent link to your website for a week, or a pat on the back if you don’t have one.

Remember, keep it somewhat clean, folks, and don’t look at the phrase until AFTER you have chosen your words. That ruins it.
“I’m not the political (___NOUN___) of the (___NOUN____). I’m not the (___ADJ___) (___NOUN___) around,” he said. “But the (___NOUN___) for (___ADJ___) (___NOUN___) is in my (___NOUN___).”
Original Quote:
“I’m not the political flavor of the month. I’m not the flashiest candidate around,” Gephardt said. “But the fight for working families is in my bones.”

“I’m not the political (eggbeater) of the (weasels). I’m not the (emasculated) (kitten) around,” he said. “But the (oatmeal) for (frigid) (peas) is in my (malt liquor).”
hehe…This is as fun as I remember.
Good stuff!

This doesn’s sound so good…
“I’m not the political vibrator of the proletariat. I’m not the most inept fruitbat around,” he said. “But the hashish for inconcievable rat-bastards is in my shelter.”
Deb
I’m not the political (braintrust) of the (century), I’m not the (sharpest) (tack around, but the (tendency) for (outrageous) (lying) is in my blood!
I never was very much fun with mad-libs–always took them too literally! :-)

Hmm. This is almost surreal:
“I’m not the political (fire alarm) of the (goldfish). I’m not the (hairiest) (bowling ball) around,” he said. “But the (cigar) for (liberal) (bastards) is in my (robot).”

“I’m not the political (lampshade) of the (duck farm). I’m not the (sticky) (house plant) around,” he said. “But the (skylight) for (frozen) (whiskey) is in my (mailbox).”
Makes about as much sense as what he actually said.

I’m not the political (kumquat) of the (cockroach). I’m not the (sticky) (beanbag) around,” he said. “But the (frog) for (aromatic) (toenail) is in my (cat).”

“I’m not the political (France) of the (Romania). I’m not the (trusty) (weasel) around,” he said. “But the (cheese) for (dangerous) (WMD) is in my (Brussels).”
I think he’s saying that while he’s no trusty weasel, he IS willing to get the EU to trade some cheese, and they’ve got plenty of it, for the WMD. Sounds good to me.

“I’m not the political cat of the glass. I’m not the chocolatiest pants around,” he said. “But the fireplace for tired wrappers is in my candle.”
Mmmm . . . chocolatey pants . . .

“I’m not the political tool of the citizens. I’m not the priciest hack around,” Gephardt said. “But the title for my new Beemer is in my back pocket.”
Sigh… Guess I’m taking this too seriously, too. Probably shouldn’t pick on Gephart when there’s such a rich assortment to choose from.

`I’m not the political (cherry) of the (Aztecs.) I’m not the (lumpiest) (rhino) around,” he said. “But the (leaping) for (floppy) (barometers) is in my (ballet.)
Yeah, I know, don’t quit yer day job…

“I’m not the political fish of the sea. I’m not the dumbest idiot around,” he said. “But the kick for rich-ass kids is in my house.”
Um… sure.
