NEWLY-EMERGED presidential candidate Boris Johnson has surged ahead in US opinion polls, and should soon be running the world.

Johnson shocked the world by announcing his intention to run on last night’s Letterman Show, when he crashed onto the set riding a penny farthing.

After colliding his outlandish bike into the host’s desk and ending up dangling slapstick-style from a lighting rig, Boris announced: “I’d be quite up for a crack at this president thing, sounds like a wheeze.

“I’d have to watch the old red button though, if I put my cup of tea on it we’d all go boom!”

The power of Johnson’s bumbling charm is such that all election rules have been waived to permit the London’s mayor’s presidential candidacy. Boris is standing as an independent candidate with no policies other than to have a smashing time. Less than 12 hours after entering American politics, he has a 94% poll lead.

1. "the Republicans have alienated most of humanity by focusing on the somewhat niche ‘rapist vote’.

That was a funny line.

2. Just what we need,

yet another "johnson" in the Oval Office.
The last few Dicks were bad enough.

3. And Boris Johnson lost his post in the Tory shadow cabinet due to a sex scandal!

Trouble is, he then stood for Mayor of London, won, and won re-election this year as well, in spite of his many faults.
