Wonkette Came, Wonkette Saw, Wonkette Felt The Bern

Wonkette Came, Wonkette Saw, Wonkette Felt The Bern

As Sanders spoke, not from a Teleprompter but from his very own elven magic soul, the crowd hung on every word. He championed universal healthcare as a right, free college, saving Social Security and the planet! And ending corporate greed and income inequality! And creating millions of wonderful jobs! The People cheered and waved Bernie signs in the air. When he spoke of creating the best childcare system in the world, milk flowed freely from the breasts of lactating mothers.

And then a flying white unicorn swooped down from the moonlit sky and whisked the silver-tongued senator from Vermont away. But if you listened closely, you could hear the thundering footsteps of the ginormous Clinton political machine approaching, poised to swat dear Bernie out of the sky … unless maybe the pope can protect him with an endorsement when he’s in DC next week. What do you say, Francis?

He may even speak out against the super rich who make their financial gains through unfair and
dirty means, but I doubt it that a man in his position would come out and openly endorse any
one presidential candidate in a foreign country. It would be totally against protocol.
