$avingThePlanet: Senator

IStillMatter: Hi Al!

$avingThePlanet: We need to talk

IStillMatter: You get a call from Dean too?

$avingThePlanet: I certainly did

IStillMatter: In my book, he's still insane

$avingThePlanet: I agree - his icecaps are melting

IStillMatter: Ha - very funny

$avingThePlanet: We need to save the party

IStillMatter: Save the planet, save the party - you seen to be always saving something

$avingThePlanet: I also just saved $219 on my car insurance
$avingThePlanet: Heh, heh, heh - a little joke there

IStillMatter: Al, as a friend... don't even try to tell jokes

$avingThePlanet: You're probably right
$avingThePlanet: I hear that a lot, actually

IStillMatter: And there's no Nobel prize for Stand-Up Comedy

$avingThePlanet: Hmm,... that's even more reason not to do it

IStillMatter: Back to the party problem

$avingThePlanet: Dean has lost control...

IStillMatter: Hillary is being even more divisive than usual...

$avingThePlanet: Now THAT's saying something

IStillMatter: True

$avingThePlanet: We need to neutralize the situation so the party can prepare to defeat McCain in November

IStillMatter: Any ideas?

$avingThePlanet: We need a peace plan

IStillMatter: What about a Camp David summit?

$avingThePlanet: Except that the current Camp David landlord is "W"

IStillMatter: Crap - right, that won't work

$avingThePlanet: We need a plan to bring them together

IStillMatter: Unfortunately both want to run for President

$avingThePlanet: One needs to agree to be VP

IStillMatter: What about sending them to Club Med

$avingThePlanet: What?!?

IStillMatter: It worked for Rep. Barney Frank and Sen. Larry Craig
IStillMatter: They were locked in heated a Senate vs. House debate over the farm bill
IStillMatter: But - after a weekend at Club Med, they seem to have worked things out

$avingThePlanet: I...... I don't think that works in this case

IStillMatter: Why not - have you seen Obamas wife?
IStillMatter: I tell ya, that there is anger on wheels
IStillMatter: She's the kind of woman you have to drop with the first punch

$avingThePlanet: WHAT?!?

IStillMatter: No, seriously - if you just wing her, you're screwed - it's gonna be a battle

$avingThePlanet: Senator, I really think we need to take a different approach

IStillMatter: You have any ideas?

$avingThePlanet: Maybe we could persuade the Florida delegates to follow the OVERALL delegate totals

IStillMatter: You mean ignore the primary vote?

$avingThePlanet: There wasn't a vote

IStillMatter: So get them to abamdon hillary?

$avingThePlanet: Precisely

IStillMatter: Are you sure you can get the Florida Democratic Party people to do what you want?

$avingThePlanet: I am quite confident

IStillMatter: How so?

$avingThePlanet: You could say they owe me one...

IStillMatter: oops, I forgot

$avingThePlanet: This is delicious, actually

IStillMatter: Revenge is a dish best served cold

$avingThePlanet: And thanks to global warming, no child will ever have to eat a cold meal

IStillMatter: ?

$avingThePlanet: Just a little joke, there

IStillMatter: Here again, Al - don't try to tell jokes

$avingThePlanet: Sorry

IStillMatter: If this works, you could take credit, write a book, go on a lecture tour, and win a Nobel PEACE prize

$avingThePlanet: I like the way you think!

IStillMatter: Keep me posted

$avingThePlanet: Will-do

IStillMatter: Gotta go. My yacht is being detailed and I have to pick it up by noon

$avingThePlanet: You should consider a sailboat

IStillMatter: Too preppy
IStillMatter: And chicks dig the yacht
IStillMatter: When the four 600-horsepower diesel engines fire up, it's an impressive sight

$avingThePlanet: You know, John - when this is over, we should really talk about your carbon footprint

IStillMatter: I'll think about it

$avingThePlanet: Have a nice weekend

IStillMatter: later....
