"Bush Should Just Get Out of the Car and Swim Away": KENNEDY

National Lampoon began publishing in the '70's; this was an early offering. It's still a beauty.

If Ted Kennedy drove a Volkswagen, he'd be President today

It floats.

The way our body is built, we'd be surprised if it didn't. The sheet of flat steel that goes underneath every Volkswagen keeps out water, as well as dirt and salt and other nasty things that can eat away at the underside of a car. So it's watertight at the bottom. And everybody knows it's easier to shut the door on a Volkswagen after you've rolled down the window a little.

That proves it's practically airtight on top. If it was a boat, we could call it the Water Bug. But it's not a boat, it's a car.

And, like Mary Jo Kopechne, it's only 99 and 44/100 percent pure. So it won't stay afloat forever. Just long enough. Poor Teddy. If he'd been smart enough to buy a Volkswagen, he never would have gotten into hot water.

When a law suit was threatened by VW, National Lampoon ran the following retraction:

"Even if Ted Kennedy had driven a Volkswagen he wouldn't be president today."

As far as I'm concerned, that guy should be sitting in a prison cell, not a Senate seat.

A million others may have had the same thought. How many formed it fully enough to verbalize it? How many actually wrote it down? How many shared it publicly? Anyone? Bueller?

Does a thread differ from a post from a "marketing" standpoint? I'm not sure how either one makes anyone a dime. Perhaps there are ways to turn a buck off of someone who is *gasp* gullible enough to click this "story" for anything other than amusement purposes. I could be rich!

Satire but barely. LOL

Satire, yes; but you know, I can literally hear him saying this, in his ponderous tones.

Great parody! You did good!

[BibChr]

Thanks, it was fun. I thought of sending it to Scrappleface -- he'd have done better. But I've sent a suggestion before, it was ignored, so....

Seperated At Birth???

[BibChr]

Hmm....

[BibChr]

And to that, I say, "Merci."

Is that actual, serious? The first thing they report is "Kennedy OK"?

Dan

[Gunrunner2]

Darn. . .that had me going.

Good one!

[BibChr]

Thanks. That's what's eery about it, isn't it?

[Cboldt]

*bump* Funnier satire than many attempts!

[Spyder]

Thank God I live in Virginia. No wonder people are fleeing Mass. in mass. What are the voters in that state drinking?

That reminds me of a story we heard when we moved to Charlottesville in the late 70s from someone positioned to be believable. When Jack was running for president, in the 1959 time frame, he went down to Charlottesville and went around town paying off all of Teddy's bad checks (from when Ted was a student at UVa) so it wouldn't reflect poorly on his own aspirations for office.
