Forget all the CNN jokes, intentionally crappy Photoshops, and House of Cards parodies — this conversation, between New York‘s Jen Chaney, Amy Poehler, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Brad Hall about who should run for president in 2016, is the most important thing that happened during the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
Amy Poehler: Prince.
Brad Hall: That’s a great answer.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus: And Sly and the Family Stone.
Hall: The Family Stone would be the VP.
Louis-Dreyfus: That would be good.
NYM: The Family Stone would be the cabinet, Sly would be the VP.
Poehler: You know, with Prince and Sly and the Family Stone, wouldn’t we get more done around here?
Hall: Man. That is a funky field right there.
Louis-Dreyfus: You would definitely get funky with it. That’s for sure.
…
Louis-Dreyfus: All right, should those two candidates decide to run, Amy and I are going to run their campaign, or we’ll be a part of the branding of the campaign.
Poehler: We’ll be like Peaches and uh…
Louis-Dreyfus: Diamond and Pearl.
Hall: Peaches and Herb. Oh no, sorry.
Poehler: Peaches and Cream! The dancers that used to perform with Prince.
Louis-Dreyfus: That’s right. [Ed. note: It was Diamond and Pearl.]
Poehler: Prince always has some beautiful, like, 16-year-old dancers.
Louis-Dreyfus: We’re not 16, but we could totally dance with him, you know, while he campaigns.
Poehler: Well, it’s going to be a different kind of dancing. It has to be serious dancing. Because it’s a political campaign.
Louis-Dreyfus: There are issues and we feel strongly about the issues. So it will be a serious kind of dance.
Poehler: Once again, I know Prince reads your magazine. I know he reads these little interviews. Julia and I are ready to dance behind him when he runs for president in 2016.
Louis-Dreyfus: Please take this seriously.
If Prince/Sly Stone ran against Amy Poehler/Julia Louis-Dreyfus, the nation would split in two. Right, Prince?
Right.
