As we know, US Senator Jack Reed has been stating his intentions about the future for months and months.
Yet the message had not yet sunk in during this recent (fictional) news conference:
Reporter 1: Senator, is there anything that could change your mind about becoming Obama's running mate if he were to ask?
Reed: My intention is to seek reelection to the Senate. That's what I've said all along.
Reporter 1: What about if Obama said 'pretty please, with sugar on top'?
Reporter 2: Or if he threw in all the tea in China?
Reporter 3: Or a membership in Red Sox Nation?
Reporter 7: Or a Chia pet?
Reed: No!
Reporter 3: How about if he gave you some Girl Scout cookies?
Reed: Not a chance.
Reporter 4: Senator, when you say you will not take the post even if Obama asks you to, what does 'will not take' mean?
Reed: I am running for reelection to the Senate.
Reporter 1: What would it take to get you on the ticket?
Reporter 4: Yeah!
Reporter 2: C'mon Jack, it's a little slow in the summer.
Reed: Grrrrrr.
