Raleigh, NC [CBB] - As the Democratic Presidential nomination process stretches on after Tuesday’s
primaries in Indiana and North Carolina, Hillary Clinton openly started to question some of Barack Obama’s super delegates. More specifically, whether or not the delegates supporting Obama are truly ’super.’
“Traditionally the word super has been associated with superior size. quality or greatness; like Wal-Marts that sell groceries, Italian plumbers who fight giant turtle monsters, songs with really long titles from movies about nannies with umbrellas, or comic book heroes in red tights” Clinton reasoned during a campaign stop in North Carolina on Tuesday, “so I ask you, do Obama supporters like Kitti Asberry and Cecil Benjamin truly fit that classification?”
The Obama campaign was quick in trying to defuse any potential fallout from Hillary’s remarks by stating ‘that while they concede some delegates might not pass the super-de-duper test, most of them are swell, nice, and good, while other are down right okey dokey and that Barack could no more denounce their superness than he could that of a certain reasonably priced motel.’
Clinton responded to the Obama press release by stating: “I guess the question then becomes whether or not Americans want to settle for nominee decided by inferior delegates, or ones that live up the definition of the word that’s used to describe only the most powerful squirt guns available?”

Anyone want to bet that when this is over, they both blame their squabbles on the republicans?

I need a super brain to think of a funny comment, but unfortunately the cogs are stuck this morning. How about this-
The government should make laws defining how “super” can be used, like they have for food advertising.
I didn’t laugh either. I hope you guys have something better. I don’t even feel like making a bad pun.
