Ex-Senator Says He’s Ready to Reenter Politics
azconservative ^ | 3 March 2007 | John Semmens

Former Senator Tom Daschle (D-S.D.) says he would gladly come out of retirement and serve as vice-president if asked.

“I know that being vice-president can be a dull, do-nothing job,” Daschle said. “Al Gore pretty much proved that anyone can handle it. But being retired in South Dakota is no picnic either. I’m going nuts just hanging around this god-forsaken ‘nowheresville.’”

Daschle said he had not been contacted by any of the Democrats seeking their party’s presidential nomination. “It’s as if I didn’t exist or something,” Daschle griped. “I used to be somebody. I was Senate Majority Leader for Christ’s sake.”

Daschle said he is hoping that his endorsement of Senator Barrak Obama (D-Ill.) for president will garner some attention. “A white man endorsing a Black Muslim ought to get me some ‘profiles-in-courage’ points,” Daschle said. “I’ll even get sex-change surgery if that’s what it takes to get back in the game.”

--seriously, I had the pleasure of booing Tommy so loud during the Lead, SD July 4th parade in 1995 that it got his attention and a sheepish grin--my wife and the people around me also attempted to crawl into the cracks in the sidewalk--

Did you hear Rush's plug of your work earlier this week? The Mrs Bill Clinton bit?

I hear that Daschle is on the "short list" of potential VP candidates.

LOL! I actually thought this was straight news until the last line. A nobody and a has-been endorsing the Anna Nicole Smith of current political fame. When will it end?

I appreciate satire, but good satire should have an element of "believability" in it and I simply can't believe that Tiny Tom as spent has much as five minutes in South Dakota since election night in 2004. ;~))

OK. Very revealing. An empty suit endorsing an empty suit.

Tom Daschle is deeply saddened.
