I don’t follow politics as much as I should, so when trying to wrap my head around it I often relate it to things I have a much better understanding of. Here’s my interpretation of Senator Arlen Spector’s defection from Republican to Democrat:

 It was quite a scene the other night as the Senate met for a sold out crowd at New York’s historic Madison Square Garden. Crowds from all sides held up signs some with jeers like; “McCain in the Ass” and “Biden’s Nuts!” but all in all it was a calm and everyone ready for a entertaining night of good ole fashion politicking.
 
Everyone was pumped for the night, but nobody was expecting the curveball Senator “The Spectacular” Arlen Spector had coming later that evening. During a Lumberjack Match between Harry Reid “My Fists” and Mitch “Machismo” McConnell, Spector interceded with a hand full of salt apparently blinding McConnell by accident.
 
After the match as Machismo verbally berated Spector in front of a sold out crowd slapping him across the face, then turned to walk away. As he did Spector became enraged and locked in his famous “Spectator” sleeper hold. As the rest of the G.O.P. attempted to stomp Spector off “Mad Man” Biden lowered from the rafters wearing his face war paint and proceeded to save Spector with the help of his Louisville Slugger.

There’s a storied relationship between these two as they often rode from venue to venue together in Biden’s 82 Corolla as they were coming up in the world of politics they were often friends even when they couldn’t be allies. Given the sudden climate change Biden grabbed the mic and spoke to his long time friend. “This is the time Man, after tonight they aren’t gonna take you back I can protect you, we got your back in the locker room, on the Senate floor, Anywhere! That’s how We DemZ Roll!”
 
The “Spectacular Spector” Looked out to the 10,000 screaming fans for guidance. He tore off his GOP pin and threw it to the ground and received a standing ovation, from the left half of the arena and jeers and boos from the right half. Biden proclaimed “This is a New Day, A day when we are in control, and Nobody can challenge Us Now!” As he raised his bat and his Vice Presidential Sash over his head.

Biden’s next big match is an evening gown match against Sarah Pailin at the Hoosier Dome next month on Pay Per View. You have to wonder how this power shift will affect that pay per view.
 
 
That’s how politics works right?
