Obama & The Borg

by Kenn Thomas

I just read this in a Christopher Hitchens column:

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2008/10/18/john-mccain-is-tipped-to-lose-the-us-election-battle-115875-20815271/

Obama is lucky, another fact that drives McCain into a frenzy of elderly irritation.

A few years ago the Republican senator in Illinois, a promising young man who could have been expected to hold the seat for a long time, was found to have insisted his wife go with him to live sex shows.

Suddenly there was a snap election. Grabbing the Democratic nomination by the skin of his teeth, Obama found the Republicans were hastily running their own black man against him: a conservative fanatic named Alan Keyes who accused him of being insufficiently black!


The "Republican senator from Illinois" was married to Jeri Ryan (7 of 9 in Voyager). The details about this came out in their divorce filings. So the Borg helped catapult Obama to the presidency!

If Jack Ryan were not such a horn-dog Jeri could have been our next First Lady!
