Mayor Makes a Funny

I'm not Minneapolis Mayor RT Rybak's biggest fan, but he made me laugh today. The UpTake has the video of this quotation:

“When we were bidding on the convention… the head of the Republican Party called me and said ‘Ya know, it’s coming close and you guys are great contenders here, but I need you honestly to say that you’ll work as hard for the Republican Convention as the Democratic Convention.’ And I said ‘Well, to be perfectly honest, I think I’m going to have to work a little harder on the Republican Convention.’ And he said ‘Why?’ And I said ‘Well, because I want to make sure the protest areas are comfortable for my wife and kids.’ ”

Badda bing!

I'm not sure whether I'll get the hell out of dodge when the right-wing wackaloons come to town next year or if I'll stick it out and join the protests. Leaning towards the latter, though, if for no other reason than the I'm still debating whether to get the hell out of dodge when the all the right wing wackaloonscamaraderie among protesters is always fun. And if Rudy's their nominee, then we could all protest in drag, which would add greatly to the experience.
