Conjuring a Veep

Submitted by Auntie Meme on Wed, 2008-06-25 14:14.

Spouse and I were sitting around last night wonking (note: not wanking) about our “dream VPs.” And truthfully, we were also arguing about whether Hillary has indeed been written out of the picture. I say yes. Spouse says “where’s the evidence?” Pish posh.

Then the “a-ha!’ moment. To plagiarize Seuss: I got an idea. An awful idea. Auntie Meme got a wonderful, awful idea.

Amb. Joseph Wilson or Valerie Plame.

Who’s your deliciously fun long-shot?

Obama and whoever the DNC picks

I think IT will be a republican. Post partisan and no fighting for the people….perfect!

i fear it will too--but they must know that

they’d lose tons and tons more votes by doing that—it hurt Gore that Lieberman was on the ticket (and why that was the choice) and that was when he was still a Dem.

An actual Republican like Hagel would depress Dem turnout even more.

VP

Neither Wilson has any use for Obama. If offered I have a strong feeling they would laugh in either one of his two faces. Just a hunch.

& the DC Village wouldn't be happy--

it’ll definitely be someone they like — and approve of.

how about we split the job

into two parts - one twelve hour shift each.

one v-p for the day shift.

this will be the person, like dick cheney, who helps obama actually function as a political executive. like bush, only more so, obama knows nearly zero about being an executive.

he has never been a mayor, a corporate executive, a governor, a military commander, a diplomat, a government executive, or a president.

not that having that experience is all that important.

and one v-p for the night-shift.

that person will be the v-p who can answer the 3am phone call for obama. so he does not look like a deer caught in a headlight as bush did while reading “why goats vote” to grade school children as the wtc burned and crumbled.

for v-p for the day shift,

i nominate michael bloomberg. i think he’ll be obama’s v-p anyway.

for v-p for the night shift,

i’ll nominate colin powell. he’s got military experience and is a big fan of “multi-politicalism” - that’s the obama team’s new term for “bipartisanship”.

go(p) team!!!
