John Kerry names Johnny Depp as running mate

WASHINGTON – Presidential hopeful and Massachusetts Senator John Kerry today announced he has offered Johnny Depp first refusal of the coveted VP spot in his Democratic bid for the White House.

“I first saw Johnny in that scissors movie,” Kerry told reporters, “and I’ve wanted to run with him ever since.”

A source close to the Kerry campaign stated that Kerry believes “Depp’s charm, charisma and intense global popularity is just the thing needed to sway voter support of post-teen females, twenty-something housewives, every woman in middle-aged America and that ‘certain section of guys’ towards the Democratic ticket” in November.

Depp’s oddball je ne sais quoi is much admired by fans around the globe and Kerry is eagerly awaiting the actor’s decision to take on the challenging role of Vice President .

Ah, one always hopes for attribution but seldoms receives it. lol Anyway, for those of you who enjoyed my Depp parody in the "Spoof" spirit, thanks!

The Pak Tribune in Pakistan actually picked it up as "real" news and that had me laughing big time. Then a DC radio station (DC101) picked it up from there and off it went.

I hope y'all will visit The Spoof and enjoy the other offerings, too.

Best regards,
