W.Va. union United Banjo Pickers of Americky have put their support behind Hillary Clinton. According to the group's spokesman, their support was garnered due to suspicions about Barack Obama's ties to uppity banjo-picker Bela Fleck and his refusal to wear a West Virginia flag pin on his lapel.
Clinton was happy to accept the endorsement of the union, saying "We're going to fight on now that we have the majority of banjo-pickin' unions on our side, because everybody knows you can't win in November without the support of the Nascar dads and the Banjo moms/cousins." Clinton added: "Now that my campaign has the support of the majority of banjo unions we have clear evidence to bring to the superdelegates and an easy path down the river to deliverance (of the democratic nomination)."
Barack Obama refused to comment, but an inside source said he's already gearing up for Oregon's primary, courting the coveted granola-vote through his own special trail mix recipe.
John McCain couldn't be woken from his nap for comment (even though the phone rang like 30 times).

ah blue, do i not detect a little inconsistency here?...just a few blogs back, you said, "every average American citizen recognizes that the idea is foolish"...
when i questioned you on the intellect of the "average american citizen," you responded with:
"Lester: I think you and I will have to disagree about the relative intellect of the average American voter. Just remember that most of the dunces you see on Jay Leno's Streetwalking aren't the crowd that turns out to vote.
I think the perception that American voters are easily swayed by soundbites and red herring issues is really just a self-fulfilling prophecy. That is, if all you feed people is junk food, chances are they'll get fat."
now we find that you apparently think that all of jay leno's guests live in w.va...
must be the obamalotion...just spread it all over your head, and you won't see a thing...
Parody based on stereotype, nothing more, nothing less.
Inconsistency lester? More like a pathology.
so blue, just who are you parodying?...the people of w.va., anyone who votes for hillary, the average american citizen, or anyone who doesn't drink obama juice?
Lester: I think the answers to your questions are obvious. This piece is a joke. Only a joke. Meant to be funny. That's all.
and i agree...it was funny...
