    I'm the Democratic Party, Bitch!

    Furthering the widening gulf between the GOP and Democrats' celebrity endorsement pool, CNN shows us that Dave Chapelle is at the debate tonight. Something tells us he's not a Republican.

    Maybe he gave up his Comedy Central show to get involved with politics. If so, we suggest he follows Parliament Funkadelic's example they laid out in their black-politics classic, "Chocolate City:"

    And don't be surprised if Ali is in the White House
    Reverend Ike, Secretary of the Treasure
    Richard Pryor, Minister of Education
    Stevie Wonder, Secretary of FINE arts
    And Miss Aretha Franklin, the First Lady.

    Might we suggest he take Richard Pryor's place? If he does, Clinton--George Clinton, that is--would be proud.
