Top 10 Reasons Hillary Wants to be Vice President

I suppose I'm about to offend some people, below the fold.

10.  Her mortgage is about to double and she could use the free rent.

9.   To show up Madeleine Albright.

8.   So she can be President of the Senate and boss around Ted Kennedy.

7.   The White House silverware should catch a pretty penny.

6.   She wants her own White House intern... named Eduardo.

5.   That'll show Betty Sue, that stupid cheerleading bitch that stole her first boyfriend.

4.   So she can be in a better position to help the children... of her wealthy contributors.

3.   Her office would have that "new artificial heart smell."

2.   She can scratch the "vice" off of her business cards and just pretend...

1.   Thallium isn't traceable.

    •  Cheney uses Crisco

      It makes insertion of the hand easier.   Then it's just a matter of moving his fingers in time with the syllables of the words he want's spoken.

•  10. Because Obama is not a well man. He doesn't

  look like he's got four years left to live. Really.

  9. Because Cheney revolutionized the Vice Presidency and made it the most powerful office in the world, accountable to nobody, with even Satan at the VP's beck and call.

  8. It'll keep the world safe from Jim Webb.

  7. It'll keep the world safe from Brian Schweitzer.

  6. It would reduce Bill to Second-Place Consort status. Revenge is a meal best served cold.

  5. It would give her the chance to atone to the nation for all the Bush-enabling mistakes she made while Senator.

  4. LOL.

  3. It'll keep the world safe from Bill Richardson.

  2. She has already ordered her Inaugural Ball pantsuit.

  1. It'll give her another chance to not achieve universal health care coverage.

  •  You forget "It will keep the world safe from

    Hillary Clinton"

•  Because I'm a girl, and it's my turn.

  I used to be a strong supporter of Mrs. Clinton, but her 'I'm the girl vote for me' didn't do it for me. It did at first, but when she couldn't articulate why she wanted to be president other than, 'I'm the girl, an experienced girl, and it's my turn, (oh, and a Clinton has to follow a Bush?!?!), I started to look around.

  In the end, it was her style of campaigning, (I'll say anything, what do you want me to say?) coupled with her adoption of the Republican talking points that ran me off.

  I am not going to vote for a Republican pretending to be a Democrat.
