Overheard in the Office -- Political Funny

A not by me, but by my "friend I've never met in person", JR:

'Do we really need a black drag queen running as the conservative candidate?'

'Um, are you talking about Ron Paul?'

'Yeah, him.'

'He's white and racist.'

'Then who am I thinking of?'

'Ru Paul.'

'I take it they're both about as qualified?'

'I think the GOP leadership would take either one over McCain.'

Emphasis mine, and JR owes me a screen wipe.
