Sitcom Pitch = Your Chance To Win A Book
Here's my wacky sitcom pitch, listen up entertainment industry:

McCain and Palin are elected, okay. So, we have four years of comedy right there. It writes itself. It just might write itself, heaven help us.

But anyway:

Palin wants to be President, don'cha know, so she and her staff keep coming up with plots to kill McCain in a way that will make it look like an accident. They scare him a lot "accidentally", work on his heart, slowly poison him, send him envelopes with white powder in them, try to trigger nightmares of his imprisonment, try to knock him off podiums, rig chairs and equipment to break, etc. They use her kids, who leave toys on stairwells, shriek outside his office, screw with him, etc. 

Likewise, McCain is trying to bump off Palin, she's no longer useful to him and is more popular and "too mavericky" and a friggin' danger to the world and maybe his people find out she's after him, to boot. He sends her to dangerous situations and his minions try to whack her while placing the blame on terrorists and the like.

So, you have a White House where the top two are trying to ruin, sorry, run the country while also trying to kill one another. And they have to act like they like each other, ho ha ha. It's wacky!  

I don't have a title for this. Come up with a title, that's the contest. Whoever has the best title (imho) wins a HOF trade of their choice (if I have it in stock and available for free shipping). And when I sell this baby to some on-line fly-by-night and make thirty bucks, you get a dollar*.

(*I'm not pitching this, or doing it as a comic, it's just a blog post, don't worry, I won't steal your title)

Title away!

It would be worth it to see Palin jumping out from the shadows to attack McCain like Kato/Cato in the Pink Panther movies.

Maybe Executive Ordeal?

That's a great idea, and some of the titles already suggested are pretty perfect. If the fuckwads win, you should totally pitch this someplace.

Um... "Red, White... and BOO!"
