The California gubernatorial candidates, Meg Whitman, former CEO of EBay, and Jerry Brown squared off last night on TV. The un-retouched (bite circled) photograph above proves that while politicians may be generally regarded as vampires, California may be on the verge of electing a vampire in the literal sense, the option of course being a punch bowl floatie.

Last night we had the great debate Between a vampire and a turd As the verbal fur stuck in their throats Not one truthful statement heard A billionaire’s spent a hundred million To be the governor of this state Against a lifetime politician who lets The public unions pay his freight She’ll be beholding to no one Except her massive bank accounts Tied directly to California’s Finances State investments in huge amounts No conflict of interest there I’m sure Advertising dollars only go so far While she continues her down payment To own the public cookie jar He looks like Homer’s Simpson’s boss The way he moves his shifty eyes The public pension ball he’s rolling Will cause the state’s fiscal demise She hasn’t voted for over twenty years He hasn’t missed a beat She made herself a fortune He’s forced thousands to the street Political hack against efficiency I guess there’s nothing left to say When running for California’s Gov Discount votes are for sale on EBay Copyright 2010 Patrick Granfors

Ah, so true what you say, Patrick, but these are our turds and vampires. But not to worry, 'cause there'll be much moola from the legal sale of grass.

That's what they get for recruiting idiots on the Internet...Politics flim-flam up jumps the Devil! It's a wonder he has an ass left, the dog has bit his ass from left to right and incisored his hairy crack where all the phoney crony mites come crawling out of the bloodsucker's anal spinchter! Flushed turd regurgitates "down payment to own the public cookie jar"...eat away Vampire!!!!

Politics is all about bites. Sound bites, "bug" bites, neck bites... it brings out the "best" in us.
