Breathless Anticipation
By Mitch Berg
Dean Barkley – one of the hands that controlled the wires attached to former governor DFL-lite sock-puppet Jesse Ventura – might just run to get “his” Senate seat back:
Dean Barkley, who briefly served in the Senate himself, said this morning that he plans to file for the office this afternoon as an Independence Party candidate.
That is, assuming Ventura sticks to his announcement Monday night that he’s not running, a statement he made with the qualifier that he’ll change his mind if God speaks to him.
“Just knowing him, he still might show up,” Barkley said. “That’s Ventura — anyone who’s been around him awhile knows he never says anything without thinking it through. You can be sure he thought that line through.”
Just like you can be sure he was his own man as governor.
Go, Dean! Go!

Jesse, I just heard from God. He’s aware that you think believing in God is a crutch (I guess He read your Playboy interview), So he asked me to let you know that you have Divine approval for a Senate run.
God also said you look a lot better without the Captain Jack Sparrow moustache.

:groan:
DFL-lite (aka IP) is killing us liberals. We need a GOP-lite to balance things out.

Paging Kevin Ecker and Dr. Jonz; need a “Coleman/Pawlenty/McCain” response on aisle 4…

They’d be better off running Charles Barkley. Or even Gnarls Barkley.

Not so great, given that he’s already 300++ lbs.
Heck, look at what those Congressional per diems did to Teddy Kennedy!
