Kerry Praises Gephardt in Effort to Win Over Teamsters

"As Kerry courted one of the unions most skeptical about his presidential candidacy with promises to enforce the nation's trade agreements, the group's president, James P. Hoffa, offered a simple hint about how to win over his members: tap Representative Richard A. Gephardt as a running mate..."

After the sliming in Iowa, this would be a big, BIG problem for the Deaniacs. And it would be really hard to get anyone under 60 excited about Kerry-Gephardt.

It would be nice payback for Dick: He took one for the team in Iowa, killing us Deanics off but destroying himself in the process.

But everything that happens now is so far over our little local heads that our influence is nil.

So I'll just make a stereotypical joke:

How many Teamsters does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

Oh, I don't know, how many Teamsters does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

Twenty-four.

Twenty-four?

Youse gotta problem wid dat?

UPDATE

Someone seems to have objected to the joke above, as I have just received a package
