It’s a quarter to two at a CT watering hole and these are the two clowns you see sitting next to each other battling over the tab…and who was suppose to be the wingman for the other guy…Democrats should be so proud!

It’s why I like Oakes. He’d sell his vote for a couple beers and a used ‘Star Trek’ DVD.
It speaks to the man’s integrity in a world where there is none. Look at Murphy: he doesn’t care who or what he chats up in a bar.

Ah now to be free from the bonds of smiling at humorless cynics like Todd. You must be a joy to be around. It is amazing that you would think I would battle over a bar tab. I am an easy date and let Chris pay. And quite honestly while I know I don’t have to defend my choice, I did not “sell” anything. It would take more than a couple of beers. A few pitchers maybe but not a few beers. If it makes you any happier Richard, I mean Dick my father died 6 months ago and 3 weeks ago my sister died unexpectedly. That is why I dropped out. I wish you guys the best. Or do I

Matthew sorry to hear about your personal loss. It’s always tough running against the ‘institutionalized’ candidate but I think candidacies like yours help the push for legislation to level the playing field.
She’s Turning Republican Right Before Our Very Eyes
The Players:
Rick Green: A fifty- something columnist from the Courant who never met a liberal policy or idea he didn’t love.
Colin McEnroe: A CT radio personality, blog owner, and columnist, president of CT chapter of Let’s Get John Rowland off the Air Club
Susan Campbell: A former Courant columnist, feminist, anti-Catholic author of books about dating.
It’s a warm summer evening in the near future. McEnroe and Green are in the Courant’s parking lot chewing the fat talking about their weekends, and the state of the Red Sox. McEnroe is attempting to put an Obama/Biden 2012 on the bumper of his ancient Isuzu Rodeo…and Green is putting his briefcase into his Smartcar. In the distance there is a very loud engine revving with Helen Reddy’s “I am Woman” blasting from the speakers.
Green: Colin…are you sure that Obama is going to take Biden as his running mate…shouldn’t you wait to see if Hillary’s going to be the running mate?
(The engine and Reddy’s song is getting louder as Colin looks up to answer Rick.)
Colin: No way…Barry’s stuck with Joe…no way Obama wants those Clintons anywhere near the White House.
(A neon pink 2012 Hummer slams the brakes and the window is lowered…now “I am Woman” can be clearly heard. Susan Campbell is behind the wheel and she finally lowers the volume on radio.)
Campbell: Hey Boys! Like my new ride!?
Colin: Holy crap what’s it get…ten miles per gallon?
Campbell: (snapping her gum and rolling her eyes) eight per gallon…what’s your point?
Green: Nice rack Susan!
Campbell: You are a pig Rick!
Green: I am talking about the gun rack on your Hummer!
Campbell: Oh, sorry.
Green: Suze…Hummers cost a fortune…what did you do…hit Lotto?
Campbell: (smiling as she looks down upon Green and McEnroe) Nope…took the Courant’s buyout!
Colin: A buyout! Isn’t that what Republicans do?
Campbell: Bite me Yale boy…cash is cash…and momma likes cash.
Green: But Suzie…you are a liberal’s liberal…Collie’s right…Dems don’t do buyouts…it’s bad form.
Campbell: You can bite me too Greenie! Money is money and you won’t find me living the Occupy lifestyle. Telling the five or six readers we have left that I am a liberal is easy…they are not so bright you know. Suzie needs to look out for Suzie! Come on guys, Courant readers are not smart like the Wall Street Journal and Fox News fans. We can say and write whatever we like and clueless liberals will lap it up…just like the way they march in lockstep to vote for Democrats each election!
Colin: Well I for one am totally disappointed in you Susan!
Campbell: Yeah…well I am disappointed that you lost your gig at WTIC and now are on a station that five people can get, and that’s only clear days!
Green: Come on Suzie…that’s a cheap shot…you know Collie is super sensitive about the Governor owning his former time slot.
Colin: I thought you had my back… and Rick don’t call him governor!
Campbell: Oh grow a pair Colin, you know I do. I am outta here!
Green: What are you going to do now that you are leaving Mother Courant?
Campbell: Teach, do walk-a-thons against Catholics, and perhaps write another self-absorbed memoir!
Colin: Bye Susan I’ll miss you!
Campbell: Later boys, and here’s a nickel’s worth of free advice…when they offer you the buyout…take it! See ya boys!
(Campbell then cranks up “I am Woman” and leaves serious rubber all over the Courant’s parking lot.)
I am sincerely sorry to read of the losses you and your family have experienced recently Matthew.

You’ve earned monthly shipments from Obamaha Steak and Starbucks and DogsHead Brewery. Subscriptions to National Geographic and Vanity Fair simply won’t do.
Too too funny Richard! Anyone who knows Hartford Courant and Susan Campbell trivia …gets your LOL above post. I don’t know if my mailbox will be able to handle the upcoming onslaught.
