| Award Fuels Sen. Edwards'
Bid for Veep Spot By Duane Wordsworth, special to the NewsLampoon
February 7, 2008, Columbia, SC--John Edwards' attractiveness as a
running-mate just got a shot in the arm as his wife, Elizabeth, was awarded
"Booty Call Material" status by the online dating service OnlineBootyCall.com.
The website, created by founder Moses (Mo) Brown conducted an online poll
enabling members to vote for the candidate and spouse who qualify as "Booty Call
Material." Seventy percent voted Elizabeth Edwards top presidential
spouse. As for the remaining candidates, Hillary Clinton garnered 55% to
beat Borack Obama,
"That's good for Edwards," said an Obama aide, "but Barack is not pleased.
He thinks he should have been top candidate. Hillary beat him? Are
you kidding?"
"This would really help the candidate who's looking to get more of the young,
horny vote," said David Bonior, Edwards' former campaign manager. "I
wonder who that might be. . . ."
"Hillary would never recruit John Edwards," said a source close to Clinton.
"He already stabbed her in the back once, and she's afraid he would shoot her in
the head if he ever became Vice President. John's way too ambitious.
Obama's people tell me they have the same fear. They've already gotten
calls from John, and I'm sure with the Booty Call poll results in, they'll get
another."
Edwards is said to be conducting a poll of his own to determine whether he
should re-enter the race.
"He really wants to be President," said a source close to Edwards.
"He's disappointed that the Booty Call results didn't come out earlier. I
think he called Mo and told him so." (Posted 3:58 a.m. ET)
