Former Vice President candidate Joe McRib has shocked the nation by abandoning his National Guard unit in order to pursue his true passion: rib-eating contests. McRib, known for his love of all things barbecue, couldn't resist the siren call of a local rib-eating competition, leaving his fellow soldiers in the lurch.
McRib's sudden departure has left many scratching their heads, wondering how a man who was once so dedicated to serving his country could so easily be swayed by the promise of a rack of succulent ribs. Some have even speculated that McRib may have been influenced by a powerful rib lobby, seeking to distract him from his political ambitions.
When reached for comment, McRib simply stated, "I just couldn't pass up the chance to show off my rib-eating skills. Plus, I heard there's a cash prize involved." His former National Guard unit, however, is less than impressed, with one soldier remarking, "I guess ribs are more important to him than defending our country."
As McRib prepares to face off against some of the top rib-eaters in the country, one can't help but wonder what could have been if he had stayed true to his military duties. Perhaps he could have been Vice President, or even President one day. But for now, it seems that his true calling lies in the world of competitive eating.
