Politics / Humor - Tinklenberg Tinklenberg Rising Star
What kind of election year has this been? It's been the kind of year where a Democratic congressional candidate named Elwyn Tinklenberg has a shot at beating a conservative incumbent in America's heartland.
Campaign donations have been flooding in to former Blaine, Minnesota Mayor Tinklenberg since his opponent, Republican Rep. Michelle Bachmann's McCarthy-esque interview with Chris Mathews on “Hardball.”
Forget about the magnitude of electing a black man named Barack Hussein Obama as president. Electing anybody named Elwyn Tinklenberg to anything is a far greater achievement. An Elwyn Tinklenberg for Student Council Secretary poster could not stay taped to a high school corridor wall for 15 seconds.
Tinklenberg actually has a chance of being elected to the United States Congress where he will be able to stand, like may of his predecessors, and proudly proclaim: “I was not influenced by the millions of dollars I accepted from the Chinese Lead Toy industry. How dare anyone besmirch the good Tinklenberg name!”
Maybe the country isn't ready for a President Elwyn Tinklenberg, but nerdy kids all over America now have a role model they can look up to -- while enduring their tenth wedgie of the day.
