The Constitutional Option returns
Dramatis Personae
Joe Biden, Vice-President of the United States
Harry Reid, Senate Majority Leader
Tom Udall, Senator from New Mexico
UDALL: I’m offering a resolution to end the filibuster.
BIDEN: Sounds good to me.
UDALL: I’m calling it . . . the Constitutional Option.
BIDEN: Strange how that sounds so familiar.
REID: That’s what the Republicans called it when they tried the same nonsense a few years ago.
BIDEN: But this is different, Dick — we’re the good guys.
REID: My name is Harry.
BIDEN: Oh, I’m sorry — I must be confusing you with your brother.
REID: I don’t have a brother.
BIDEN: I thought all you Mormons had big families. By the way, just how many mothers do you have?
REID: Mr. Vice-President!
BIDEN: Where?
REID: This resolution is a bad idea. One day soon the Republicans will control the Senate again, and then they’ll be able to do anything they want. Anything.
BIDEN: Never gonna happen, Dick. Why, the next thing you’ll tell me is that the Saints will one day win the Super Bowl.

I can almost see Biden casting about in confusion, looking for the VP!
Hilarious.
