Ice Fishing

[Gavin Allan]

Subject: Ice Fishing







The Presidential election was too close to call. Neither the

Republican candidate nor the Democratic candidate had enough votes to win..

There was much talk about ballot recounting, court challenges, etc., but a

week-long ice fishing competition seemed the sportsmanlike way to settle

things. The candidate that caught the most fish at the end of the week would

win the election.



Therefore, it was decided that there should be an ice fishing contest

between the two candidates to determine the winner.



After much of back and forth discussion, it was decided that the

contest take place on a remote frozen lake in northern Minnesot a .



There were to be no observers present, and both men were to be sent

out separately on this isolated lake and return at 5 P.M. with their catch

for counting and verification by a team of neutral parties. At the end of the

first day, McCain returned to the starting line and he had ten fish.



Soon, Obama returned and had no fish. Well, everyone assumed he was

just having another 'bad hair' day or something and hopefully, he would catch

up the next day.



At the end of the 2nd day McCain came in with 20 fish and Obama came

in again with none.



That evening, Harry Reid & Nancy Pelosi got together secretly with

Obama and said, 'Obama, I think John McCain is a low-life, cheatin'

son-of-a-gun. I want you to go out tomorrow and don't even bother with

fishing. Just spy on him and see just how he is cheating.'



The next night (after McCain returns with 50 fish), Harry said to

Obama, 'Well, tell me, how is John Mc. cheating?'



Obama replied, 'Harry, you're not going to believe this, but he's

cutting holes in the ice.'







"Experience Counts"

 

[Bill V]

Huh? McCain's from Arizona, and Obama's (at least most recently) from Illinois. Ain't no way McCain has more ice fishing experience than Obama!

 

[Bo Loo]

In most cases, I would agree that experience counts. But look at the cabinet GW has/had. ESPECIALLY with Dick Cheney. You don't get more experience than he has. That expererience has created the greatest Cluster F... I've seen.

What CF are you talking about?

I have to agree that Bush HAD a fantastic cabinet. That said,,, they didn't stick around for the full term(s). Thus,,,, the replacements were not of the same caliber.



When Bush was voted in I felt very good about it due to the people around him for the most part.



Once they were gone, I feel Bush lost the edge he had and needed.



I still like him, but i am biased as I have personally worked with him. He is a SUPER nice person. Makes it very difficult to have a poor opinion of him.

 

[Tom Schindler]

I have a feeling, working around Bush is like working around Rainman.

My only disagreement with Bush's first cabinet was Rumsfeld.
