Can’t get anything past Cao

Everybody’s favorite screeching wingnut Cao posted this hot news at 7:16 AM EDT this morning:

Supposedly Obama is going to notify people via TEXT MESSAGE regarding his veep choice some time today.

This, of course, is yet another demonstration of Cao’s uncanny ability to lag well behind the real world. The text message to which she refers was transmitted by the Obama campaign shortly after 3 AM this morning.

Cao reminds me of the character of “Ed” on the Jack Benny Program. Ed was the fellow who guarded the money in Jack’s vault, and he didn’t get out much…

Another situation which elicited a great deal of response from the audience was Jack’s underground vault; it became a running gag that was used for years. The trip down to the vault was always accompanied by footsteps, chains rattling, iron doors clanging, and whistles sounding the alarm. There was a man who guarded Benny’s strong box and every time Benny wanted to enter the man would say, “Who goes there?” Benny would reply, “It’s me, Ed.” One time the guard asked, “What’s new?” “The war’s over,” Jack answered. Then Ed responded, “Oh, good… Who won? The North or the South?” The audience loved it.

And we love Cao, for, like Ed, she can always be counted on to provide the comic relief.
