New V.P. Candidate??

On the heels of finding out that John McCain's idea of a qualified Vice Presidential candidate involves being able to win a snowmobile race with a broken arm (or better yet, being married to someone who did), I'd like to present my own V.P. candidate:

Authorities in Arizona say a jogger attacked by a rabid fox ran a mile with the animal's jaws clamped on her arm and then drove herself to a hospital. The Yavapai County sheriff's office said the woman told deputies she was on a trail near Prescott on Monday when the fox attacked and bit her foot.

She said she grabbed the fox by the neck when it went for her leg but it bit her arm. The woman wanted the animal tested for rabies so she ran a mile to her car with the fox still biting her arm, then pried it off and tossed it in her trunk and drove to the Prescott hospital.

The sheriff's office says the fox later bit an animal control officer. He and the woman are both receiving rabies vaccinations.

Forget the rabies vaccinations. I want a person in government who is so angry that they are literally foaming at the mouth! This is my candidate!!

Oh sure, nooooow you tell us....

You know, when John McCain first announced that Sarah Palin was going to be his running mate in the Presidential election, I couldn't stop wondering why. What made him think she was qualified -- other than the obvious reasons like being mayor of a 6,000 person town and being able to see Russia from her home state, of course.

Well, on the day of the actual election, at 1:30pm CST, John McCain spoke in Colorado. He was thanking Palin for invigorating his party, and then he apparently let slip what he feels the qualifications are to be in the Executive Branch of the United States government:

"You know, [Palin]'s got a husband, whose name is Todd and she calls him First Dude. Her husband Todd is a four-time world champion in (a) snowmobile race across Alaska in the middle of winter. One time he was running this race and broke his arm with 250 miles to go and still won. I THINK HE'S READY FOR WASHINGTON, D.C., AND SO IS SHE!"

He waits until NOW to let people know that's all it takes?? I guess I can imagine the likes of Tom Ridge and Mitt Romney kicking themselves, thinking "If only I had a wife who raced snowmobiles with a broken limb!" It just goes to show that you really do need to be particular when vetting your spouse....much more so than vetting a V.P. candidate at least.
