Hardhitting ABC: "Waldman kids found a way to profit - sell lemonade to the thirsty media throng"
:rofl:

ABC News' Matthew Jaffe reports: The anxious news media has been waiting all week to find a winner in the ongoing Obama veepstakes speculation. Today we finally got one: the name - Waldman.

With reporters staked out in their front lawn night and day all week long to monitor Sen. Evan Bayh's house across the street, the three Waldman kids found a way to profit - sell lemonade to the thirsty media throng.

And boy did they make a killing.

No sooner had the stand been set up at the base of their driveway then instantly a line formed five-deep in cameramen. Location, location, location. Serving the ice-cold juice in nice pint-sized glassware, the kids quickly made a buck or two...or twenty.

The elder Waldman saleswoman, Siena, 6 (and 3/4!) said she'd use the profits to buy a walkie-talkie, but noted that it'd be "expensive."

No wonder she was charging a dollar a drink.

:wow:more...
