My dog Jambi is an eight-year-old pug who enjoys long naps, ham, and a good belly rub. In addition, he is more qualified to be Vice President than Sarah Palin, John McCain's pick to be the Republican Vice Presidential nominee.
Let me explain below the fold.

Before she became Governor less than two years ago, Sarah Palin's biggest role in government was Mayor of Wasilla - a town of around 9,000 people in rural Alaska. A critical function of city government is installing sidewalks and fire hydrants, and Sarah Palin has a wealth of experience in this area. Jambi, however, knows sidewalks and fire hydrants even better, as he frequently urinates on them and spends large amounts of time sniffing and inspecting them. Jambi, quite frankly, has a greater understanding of one of Palin's key policy fortes.
Jambi understands the issues better than Sarah Palin
Sarah Palin has had practically no foreign policy experience. It's just the facts. Two years as Governor of Alaska doesn't give you many opportunities to understand and work with other countries. Jambi, however, spends hours every day barking at other dogs in the neighborhood - reaching out to them and getting to know their issues. He has a broad world view on issues important to him. Pugs were also originally bred in China, a foreign country. Sarah Palin was originally bred in Idaho.
Jambi has more foreign policy experience then Sarah Palin
Sarah Palin is a Republican extremist. She opposes all abortion (even in cases of rape and incest), favors teaching creationism in classrooms, doesn't think humans have caused climate change, and opposed efforts to protect polar bears because she wanted more oil drilling to occur (her husband used to work for an oil company). Jambi, however, believes that dogs evolved from humans and thus evolution should be taught in our classrooms. He is also dedicated to stopping global warming (as it would make him shed more) and believes that polar bears should be protected (just as any sane human being would). Jambi also supports a woman's right to choose, and the rights of dogs and cats to be spayed and neutered.
Jambi is more in touch with America than Sarah Palin
Now some of you may point out that Jambi is not 35 years-old, nor an American citizen. I would remind you, however, that in dog years he is more than 55 years old. Jambi is also more intelligent than quite a few American citizens, such as Rush Limbaugh. Jambi may not fulfill the legal constitutional requirements, but he certainly fulfills them in spirit.
So John McCain, why don't you offer Jambi the Vice Presidency? As I have proven beyond a doubt, he is significantly more qualified to be Vice President than Sarah Palin. Please reconsider. Jambi awaits your call.
PS - Sarah Palin likes to talk about how she eats mooseburgers for dinner. Some say it makes her seem tough and rugged. Well, if you want to talk tough and rugged, has Sarah Palin ever eaten dog food for dinner? I didn't think so.
