This is not a realpolitical issue.) So Clinton could
easily outwit him. Tie his shoelaces together,
maybe, then sneak up behind him and scream in
his good ear.
The primaries alone would be fabulous. Imag-
ine, instead of a New Hampshire primary, a Cae-
sar's Palace preliminary. Fifty thousand screaming
delegates, drunk on cheap Vegas gin, pay $800 a
pop to watch Lamar Alexander pound on Arlen
Specter's kidneys with a 40-pound copy of the
Packwood diaries.
No more dull TV events, either. Remember last
year's vice presidential debates? Quayle, Gore and
that poor old Admiral, lamely trading arch remarks
about Jack Kennedy. Boooooring. But imagine Al
Gore in a Mexican wrestling mask! Colin Powell in
a pull-away Hulk Hogan shirt! Alan Keyes
squinting with Clint Eastwood-like
authority, cracking his knuckles, growl-
ing softly....
I'll admit, Rush Limbaugh
and Newt Gingrich - if they
run - would be a tough
tag-team combination.
And I'm not even going
to make any fat jokes.

As the year goes
on, many candi-
dates will drop
out due to sag-z
ging polls, lack.
of funding or
hemorrhaging. Amer-
ica will be witness to a
Darwinian struggle of epic proportions.
But when the victor emerges, bloodied and
draped in the entrails of the vanquished, we shall
surely have a New World Order. No one will dare
mess with America, because our leader will be the
meanest, scariest, ass-kickinest statesman ever to
prowl the South Lawn.
Hail to the Victor! Hail to the Chief USA is
No. 1 again!
