Press’ Obama Love Goes Harlequin

Ahem, this is not a parody entitled “The Seduction of the Swing States” (emphasis mine):

The rain pouring down, his jacket off, his white dress-shirt clinging to his body, Barack Obama played to a crowd in a state that hasn’t elected a Democrat since 1964.

At this rate, how long before press accounts of Obama aren’t even safe for work anymore? After you shake that image out of your head, move onto this delightfully Freudian passage about a possible Biden slip:

As the rain began to pour harder, Obama noticed his running mate’s stool close to the edge of the slippery stage. “I’m gonna ask Joe to move that stool up because I don’t want to have to choose another vice-president,” Obama joked. “I don’t want him slipping over, toppling over there.”

Yes, no one would want that, would they, Barack? “Nice gaffe-prone vice presidential nominee you got here…Shame if anything should happen to him.”
