Here is a thing which makes perfect sense…

It's funny, me and my friends were just talking the other day about how somebody needed to make a video just like that. I hope somebody didn't overhear us talking and steal our idea.

On second thought, I suppose this was just bound to happen. It's kind of an obvious idea.

Think of the most exciting, important, high-stakes, political debate that you can devise inside your mind, one that is so pertinent to the world we live in today that its happening would almost certainly reshape the world around it.

Have you got it? Good.

That was fun, wasn't it? Oh, by the way, this thing, I guess, is happening…

On February 25th, former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton will share a stage at Radio City Music Hall in New York City…

A press release from the group said the two men will discuss "topics ranging from the economy to foreign policy."

A spokesperson for Madison Square Garden Entertainment, which is hosting the event, declined to discuss what, if anything, the former presidents are being paid. Organizers at these sorts of events generally do not disclose compensation.

You know what, though? This debate does have the potential to really cause some major waves in my Fantasy American Politics league.

Here is the part of the post where you set up the important information about David Plouffe's upcoming book, in which he discusses how close Hillary Clinton came to being chosen as Barack Obama's running mate.

And here's where you throw to some more reputable website's post which contains a quote suitable for spinning a joke…

What surprised me at [our first meeting to discuss the vice presidency] was that Obama was clearly thinking more seriously about picking Hillary Clinton than Ax and I had realized …. At our next meeting, we narrowed the list down to six. Barack continued to be intrigued by Hillary.

"I still think Hillary has a lot of what I am looking for in a VP," he said to us. "Smarts, discipline, steadfastness. I think Bill may be too big a complication. If I picked her, my concern is that there would be more than two of us in the relationship."…

And here's where you make a joke about Bill Clinton and his probable comfortability with ménages à trois.

And that's how you write a post about the most important woman in American politics. (I think there's a certain sad poignancy in that.)

Still wondering why Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize for, um, whatever he won the Nobel Peace Prize for?

Well, wonder no longer, because as the folks at Red State point out, the answer is staring us right in the face. Get it? Face.

And some faces have more melanin than others…

I did not realize the Nobel Peace Prize had an affirmative action quota for it, but that is the only thing I can think of for this news.

Get it? Because President Obama is black!

Somewhere Bill Clinton’s head just exploded.

Get it?? Because Bill Clinton was president for eight years and since he left office he's raised a billion dollars for humanitarian efforts and AIDS relief and ain't no one giving him a Nobel Peace Prize!

Oh, and he was the black president before Barack Obama was the black president. That too!

What's happening in America today just makes me sick! Racists are citizens, too! What happened to their Constitutional right to behave like racists without being labeled as racists?

It's one of the most important principles on which this great land was founded…
