Mickey Kaus lists three bribes Obama can offer to make him drop out against Barbara Boxer

Damn, we love Mickey Kaus, the guy who’s running against Barbara Boxer in California’s Democrat primary on Tuesday.

First, he proudly announced that he was most qualified for Boxer’s job because he hadn’t been endorsed by the L.A. Times. Then he ran one of the cleverest political commercials we’ve ever seen.

Now, seeming a bit insulted that Obama hasn’t yet offered him a Joe Sestak-like bribe, he listed the three jobs with which the President could induce him to drop out of the race.

The Los Angeles Times reveals what they are:

  • Head of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement to push for an actual physical fence on the Mexico border to stop illegal immigrants and to end the “anointed incumbent…Boxer’s obsessive talk of amnesty, sorry, ‘a path to citizenship'” that actually acts as a powerful lure for even more illegal immigrants.
  • Second, Kaus kindly offers, Obama could put him on the National Labor Relations Board so he could thwart “Big Labor’s attempt to add to their dwindling memberships by avoiding secret ballots in union organizing drives.”
  • Finally, Kaus offered to accept an administration job offer to the Department of Education to write “a scathing report” on California teachers’ unions and their deleterious impact on the state.

Unfortunately, the odds of California Democrats voting for a guy who makes this much sense are slim and who are you kidding?

  • Also entertaining was the debate Kaus had with Boxer. When Boxer refused to show up, he put a cardboard "box" in her place and debated the box, playing various audio clips of Boxer herself as answers to questions. When he asked her what her greatest legislative accomplishment was, the box was silent, and Kaus graciously pointed out afterward that the box gave the correct answer.

  • The real question here is simple. Isn't this guy a Republican? Everything he says is conservative in nature. Too funny. Too bad he can't get elected in a state where they are broke, overrun by nefarious union mobsters, illegal aliens, and prisons they can't keep operating, so they have let half of the semi-violent repeat offenders out on the streets.
    The guy would be a shoe in anywhere else, other than the west. He should move-and change his party affiliation!

  • OK, I'd never heard of this guy before the postings about him here. But I agree with SCDiver and Jack Wilson on this one!
