Most really good humor and comedy has some basis in reality — there’s usually some element of truth in it (as the Carpet Bagger notes, Homer Simpson once said, “It’s funny ’cause it’s true.”). Which is what makes this The Onion article especially funny:

Bill Clinton: ‘Screw It, I’m Running For President’

“No longer will I have to endure watching candidates like Hillary Clinton engaging in single-pump handshakes with voters, as I use every last ounce of restraint not to shout out, ‘No! Warm double-clasp! Warm double-clasp!’” Clinton said. “America deserves someone who can do it right.”

[Snip]

Clinton also noted that, if elected, the timing would be perfect for his family, as his wife has recently expressed a desire to move back to the D.C. area.

If Hillary really wanted to win, she’d let it out of the bag right now that Bill would be her Vice President. Hell, according to Hillary’s own telling of her “experience” in the White House, she might as well have been the one really running the country while Bill was busy playing “tickle the intern’s tonsils”.
