Smokin' Joe lost a primary challenge, the Democrats didn't just choose to not run him. The party had to go with the one who won the primary.

The choice of a running mate is all about pros and cons. What assets and what liabilities would each candidate bring to the ticket? The two big questions seem to be Clinton and Lieberman as VPs. Neither one will get the nod. Here's why:

I don't know what you are talking about, but I had to something to do something to make a point. Now that I did, it won't happen again. Unless it does.

Just like an ugly gigolo that gets the job done... I'm gonna get you there if you're very careful.

Why don't you consider the contributions of Gigolos to society a meaningful one?

At 20+ comments, I think you, pO157 & zyx may now have the record for most meaningless, off topic TnT sub-thread EVAR. FTW!

Exactly...there's a lot to say about a slow, ugly boat that gets you there.

I'd buy that for a dollar.

It's not how pretty the boat is, it is how it responds to the motion of the ocean. Or so I'm told.

Lou: Re: I don't get it

Fri, 22 Aug 2008 12:05:49 EST

Gigolos can be ugly...as long as they have mad skilz.

Now that's funny!

Or something.

zyxwvutsr: Re: I don't get it

Fri, 22 Aug 2008 11:58:07 EST

No, I am saying that if it were intended as a joke, then the humor should be explainable even if the explication would render it ruin the joke.

Lou: Re: I don't get it

Fri, 22 Aug 2008 11:03:15 EST

Wait, are you saying that just because a joke isn't funny...it isn't funny? That's harsh.

zyxwvutsr: Re: Sounds like an assumption.

I am highly qualified, but I am not contemplating a career change, if that's what you mean.

I have not queried the market. Have you?

zyxwvutsr: Re: I don't get it

Fri, 22 Aug 2008 09:49:46 EST

Ugly people can't be gigolos? Why don't we let the market decide who does or does not get to be a gigolo?

We do, and the market says the ugly need not apply.

You know, once you explain a joke, it's dead. I'll let you sleep on it.

zyxwvutsr: Re: I don't get it

Fri, 22 Aug 2008 09:18:55 EST

So what is it? Is it funny because he's ugly and boring and really obviously not a gigolo?

Lou: Re: I don't get it

Fri, 22 Aug 2008 09:16:30 EST

I thought you had a sense of humor.

pO157: Re: I don't get it

Fri, 22 Aug 2008 09:07:28 EST

It's not only possible, I'm absolutely certain that's the case. Liberals, for example, have no discernible sense of humor.

What does a British political party have to do with this? Are Labour party folks more popular at social gatherings?

zyxwvutsr: Re: I don't get it

Fri, 22 Aug 2008 09:03:23 EST

Why isn't it funny?

I'm not going to try to deconstruct why something is not funny. It suffices to say that it didn't make me react with any emotion other than bewilderment.

Why isn't it funny? Is it possible different people have various senses of humor?

Well, on on hand, nothing else makes sense - on the other hand, it doesn't seem funny.

It is indeed true that Lieberman hews very close to the Democratic Party line on all other issues save Iraq but clearly a lot of folks are still pissed off over him gainsaying them on Iraq.
I doubt McCain would have the balls to chose Lieberman for VP
