How amazing would it be to make an episode out of this. Have the Democratic and Republican party fighting for Dwight to be on their ticket. It could be a big joke that Jim and Pam play on Dwight. Come election time I’m sure we could all use some political comedy. McCain and Obama (or Clinton) could guest star.
I really hope NBC starts making those shirts.
Things that would happen if Dwight was VP:
1. The day after the president leaves for an international diplomatic trip, Dwight paints the white house black.
2. The rose garden is dug up to form the beet garden.
3. The entire idea of health care in any form is scrapped in favor of a “survival of the fittest” mentality, in which only those with superior genes survive.
4. The U.S dollar is deemed worthless, and a new currency, the Schrute Buck, is put into circulation.
I can’t believe it! I forgot to watch Jay Leno and I forgot that Rainn was on. I watched David Lettermen because Jack Hanna was on and I love the animals.
I need to see the clip of Howard Dean trying to get Dwight to run for VP with the Democrats. How funny. I also NEED one of those shirts. Such a good interview. I can’t wait for tonight. Thanks for posting this.
Jay does call him Dwight after the clip, haha. If I saw him I would call him Dwight too.

Dwight forming an alliance with Meredith? Awesome.
And what’s wrong with not wiping the knife off before you put it in the jelly? It gives it a nice blend.

41 | Helen Thu. May. 15, 2008 at 10:15amThe only way Dwight will be the running mate for McCain now is if they offer him FOUR flamethrowers! And of course an Iron Man outfit.
