"NO" I won't tell you who the VP is gonna be for extra moo shu
Ma'am, ma'am...excuse me ma'am...Hillary who? I'm sorry I think you've got the wrong number.
After learning their lesson from the Watergate fiasco, the Republican Party tries a more direct approach to eavesdropping.
So, I'm sorry the cell phone bill is late, I've just been so busy with this campaign thing......
A suit and tie, what are you wearing?
Hello Police? I'd like to report a missing sunflower.
I know it's not 3:00 AM, but Hillary, I NEED you!!!!
I'd like 3 large pepperoni pizzas and some buffalo wings. Charge it to the Clinton Campaign. They won't even notice.
Hillary, tell your supporters to stop calling me. I know you want to be VP but 18 million calls puts my phone bill through the roof.
"Scarlett, I love you & Penelope in 'Vicky Chrsitina Barcelona,' but you've Got to stop calling me at least until mid-January.
Thanks in advance, Barry
So Hillary, is it 17 or 18 million?
Hello Joe Lieberman. You're still Independent right? Good. Are you sitting? I have some very big news for you.
"That's me in the corner... that's me in the spotlight... Islam's not my religion..."

hello? dude, have you ever really studied the back of your hand?
this thing isn't even plugged in
can you hear me now?
Malia and Sasha, one at a time. Now, how was your first day of school?
Honey, if they ask just say I did not have anything to do with buying all those houses. Tell them YOU payed for them!
Yeah, I can't believe it either.........I know,.... I know....McCain actually said "Lame Duck" and" Quack Quack" on television ... I guess he forgot about Chaney's last hunt.
Hi. Is that the call a new Pastor Hot Line, I need help picking a VP ASAP.
I got 3 on the short list and as soon as CNN firgures out who's best I'll know
Who is this? Gallup? Yes, I'm definitely voting for McCain. muahh ha ha.

buy buy buy, no sell sell sell
"Michelle...tell me again. Whom did I pick?"
Hello, Michelle? Can you get Grandma on 3-way calling? We need to have a very important conference call. The American people want to know who we, I mean, who I'm gonna choose for VP.
Don't you think they could afford to let me use the cordless for what I'm paying them to stay is this dump of a hotel?
Picture Caption: Really, its 3 am. Guess that's why I'm the only one here.
Obama here. No recorded messages on my land line, I go for the personal touch.
"City?"
Washington, D.C.
"Listing?"
VP R Us
Hello. Michael Phelps? This is Barack Obama. How would you like to be my Vice President? With you on the ticket, I can't lose.
What!? One of McCain's homes was foreclosed!? Now he'll accuse me of misappropriating facts...
Hillary, please. You can be my co-president, Bill can smoke those wonderful cigars of his anywhere he pleases (maybe he'll give me one), and we'll give Bill something really important to do. I promise!
Listen to me Michelle, We dont need four houses! Where going to be in the White House for the next eight years.
Yes we can.......................................believe we will inspire the economy!!!
As the poll results are catching up, he can't stop explaining, no matter how tired he is.
San Diego, CA
Hi this is Barack, could you please get this guy to stop following with his microphone....Oh? Sorry Joe, i must have hit redial
Thank you for calling the Democratic National Committee!
For HOPE, press 1.
For CHANGE, press 2.
For platform and policy, call back after the convention.
To speak to a live person...
no anchovies, just pepperoni and extra cheese
Now look Joe,... I looked it up on the internet today... Do you really think I should bring it up?... Well it said: Many older people may worry about Alzheimer's disease if they start to have memory problems. Having some short-term memory loss in your 60s and 70s is common, and some people with mild memory problems will go on to develop Alzheimer's disease. .. Sure sounds like McCain though, doesn't it?
As not to appear elitist, Obama goes retro and uses the $9.99 phone, with the extra long cord –
Sorry to call collect Hillary but I'm all out of change.
I don't know Dionne. Look into your crystal ball and tell me who I should pick as my running mate. HUH? Bacharach? What? Alfie?
I've been studying this rug pattern for awhile now, and I think I've got it figured out.
Hold up, John. You mean to tell me you own 7 houses but you are willing to do anything for the white one with all the traffic? I'll have to call you back. Reality is on the other line.
....Look, when I said, "plain and simple," that's what I meant.
*But, sir, how do you want your pizza?
Plain and simple.
*Sir, I know, I hear you on the news and I understand, you're just clarifying things for me. But, how do you want your pizza?....
could I get anchovies with that pepperoni? And deliver it to...
