Dem Bill Would Force Obama to Share Charisma
Sen. Barack Obama, the presumptive 2008 Democrat presidential nominee, came under attack today from his own party when Democrats in the Senate introduced a bill that would force him to share his abundant charisma with his colleagues.
“Democrats never like to see an uneven distribution of the good things of life,” said one senate aide who helped to write the legislation. “ Sen. Obama has more than his fair share of charisma, while so many senate Democrats go without. It’s not right for so much charm and personality to be in the hands of so few.”
Under the terms of the measure, Sen. Obama’s charisma would be redistributed “to each Democrat senator according to his need.”
Reminds me of the classic Kurt Vonnegut story Harrison Bergeron.
