Like everyone else, I was puzzled by this bizarre selection, which seems to represent a "Hail Mary" play when the game is just getting started. But now I've had some time to think about it and I've come up with ten good reasons for the choice.
- Dems can’t make asses of girls who wear glasses.
- She’s the answer to the question, "How do you restore sizzle to a dried-up, overcooked steak?"
- Speaking of which, it’s about time we got someone in the White House who can cook, a task that will keep her busy and out of his hair.
- She looks like that chick on "Law and Order SVU" – nothing beats a law and order babe. Plus maybe it will get him some of the Fred Thompson vote.
- Her five cute kids trump Obama’s two.
- Maybe now people will stop using that picture of him hugging Bush and replace it with the one of him hugging the babe.
- He looks forward to having a VP he can refer to as "the skirt."
- If you’re going to live in fantasyland, might as well live there with someone worthy of fantasies.
- He’ll have someone besides his wife to call the "c" word when he’s in a bad mood.
And the number one reason McCain picked Palin . . .
- Since she’s a woman, he won’t have to pay her as much. This becomes his primary strategy for reducing the deficit.
