Bill Clinton: 'Screw It, I'm Running For President'

[Perky]

CHARLESTON, SC—After spending two months accompanying his wife, Hillary, on the campaign trail, former president Bill Clinton announced Monday that he is joining the 2008 presidential race, saying he "could no longer resist the urge."

"My fellow Americans, I am sick and tired of not being president," said Clinton, introducing his wife at a "Hillary '08" rally. "For seven agonizing years, I have sat idly by as others experienced the joys of campaigning, debating, and interacting with the people of this great nation, and I simply cannot take it anymore. I have to be president again. I have to."

"Damn, this feels good," Clinton told supporters as he shook hands in Charleston Monday.

He continued, "It is with a great sense of relief that I say to all of you today, 'Screw it. I'm in.'"

In a show of respect, Clinton then completed his introduction of Hillary Clinton, calling her a "wonderful wife and worthy political adversary," and warmly shook her hand as she approached the podium.

4. You know, life is really scary

When Onion stories start to look plausible, and real news stories give the impression that they came from the Onion...

5. Funny stuff. "Analysts also noted one debate in which Clinton mouthed responses to all the

moderator's questions while making hand gestures to himself."

I could actually imagine the Big Dog doing that.
