Once upon a time the animals of the forest decided to hold an election to see who would be their president. After a grueling primary season, the two sides nominated their candidates: Tortoise McCain and Hare Obama.
The news spread like wildfire through the forest, and all the news reporters showed up to watch Obama train.
“Mr. Obama,” said the CNN correspondent, “how fast can you run to Washington?”
“Washington!” scoffed Obama. “Watch this!!”
And with that, he disappeared in a blaze over the horizon. Before the reporters could even take a breath, he reappeared with souvenirs from Europe.
“I got this for you in Berlin,” he said to one reporter. “This came from Paris for you.”
“McCain,” said the NBC reporter, “where can you go to show us your speed?”
“Um, uh… does anyone want some French fries from Burger King or a bratwurst from German Town?” he replied.
The reporters broke out into hysterical laughter, and silly old Mr. McCain retreated to his house to train for the big day.
To be continued — this could actually end well for McCain, if you believe in fairy tales…
