Following the conviction of Ted Stevens for corruption, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin said she may name herself to his Senate seat.
While talking with reporters on the campaign trail Palin let slip that she might name herself to the position. Pressed for clarification she denied it, but then relented. "Why yes I'd consider it, you betcha. If you're not a member of the Washington elite some think you're unqualified and I want to look like I have a record of achievement, like I'm qualified. Just think of all those bills I could cosponsor, all that pork and the subway, Todd would love the subway." Reminded that Stevens has not been reelected nor has anyone called for his removal Palin said, "So?"
The Governor was asked if she thought it might be unethical to name herself to the Senate. "No way," she responded, "I've got all these killer outfits and not using them, well, that's unethical." And what of the McCain-Palin ticket, would she feel disloyal naming herself to a Senate seat? "Let's face it this is turning into a blowout. No, I'd get what's best for America; my own really cool office, junkets to Canada and free rides in tanks. If that makes me a diva so be it. Besides, I don't want to be buried in this landslide, no sirree, not me." Questioned on how she could justify abandoning her party in it's time of need Palin smiled and said, "It's a mavericky kinda thing ya know."
