WY-Sen: You, too, can be a Senator
Apply Now to be Wyoming’s Next Senator
The sudden death of Senator Craig Thomas means great opportunities for you, if you’re a Republican who lives in Wyoming. You could be the next Senator from our country’s least populous state, thus living out your dream of having a ridiculously disproportionate amount of power in an ostensibly representative democracy! The Wyoming GOP has actually posted an application for the job on their website, which means they’re about a week away from looking on craigslist
OK, so I’ve got a couple strikes against me before even stepping into the batter’s box. One, I don’t live in Wyoming (Hell, I’ve ever even been to Wyoming…but I hear it’s real purty….). Two, I’m a Liberal Democrat…and yes, I know that’s it’s going to take a real sales job to convince the Wyoming GOP that I’d make a good Republican Senator. C’mon, now…it’s not like Lynne Cheney is actually a Wyoming resident, so why shouldn’t I be eligible? Besides, I could use the raise…and I hear that the benefits are better than my current job. And then there’s the free franking privileges….
