Yes, I think the Onion staff will just have to have a stiff drink and call it a night, and hope tomorrow will be another day.
On the other hand, the "I've got to do it" reasoning sequence is endearingly human in its stupidity.

They could totally create a new version of The Village People based on celebrity politicians. Between Franken, Ventura, Reagan, Schwarzeneggar and Sonny Bono you've already got an SNL character, a wrestler, a cowboy, a terminator/biker and a singing hippie. Now add the reporter with the broken nose.

Couldn't be any worse than Al Franken, an unfunny comedian and an even more moronic politician. Or Claire McCaskill, who is only in office because she took the seat over from her dead husband.

#4,
I believe you're thinking of Jean Carnahan who took over from Mel Carnahan. According to Wikipedia, McCaskill's husband, Joseph Shepard, is still alive after they married in 2002.
On a side note, taking over for a dead spouse is a not infrequent practice in US politics. There's a list here of the women who have done so. I don't know if any men have made that transition.
