The Party Party – Wacky Season Begins

Posted on November 19, 2003 by glasscastle


Standing at just 5 feet tall, Mario would be the shortest U.S. president ever,
4 inches shorter than James Madison. He would be only the second bachelor
president, after James Buchanan (Princess Peach has offered to take on
the duties of the first lady).

Sources close to the campaign said that Mario was considering following in the
footsteps of John F. Kennedy by making his brother, Luigi, an integral part of
his administration, possibly even his running mate. The rest of Mario’s top advisers
embody diversity itself with the inclusion of Toad (a 29-inch diplomat from the
Mushroom Kingdom), Yoshi(TM) (a long-tongued dinosaur) and Donkey Kong(R) (a
stubborn ape). The political quintet has been dubbed the "Mario Party 5."

Some
scholars wondered whether Mario could overcome the constitutional hurdles facing
his candidacy. For starters, they noted, Mario was not born in the
United States, and is short of the constitutionally mandated 35 years.

"With the many actors getting into politics recently, I thought, ‘Hey, I’m
more entertaining than many of them’, not to mention, I’m a lot more animated," Mario
says. "Anyone who gets involved with the Mario Party knows that it’s all
about nonstop action and fun."
