The Huckabee as VP threat
So the word’s going ’round that McCain has Huckabee at or near the top of his VP list.
O RLY?
You know, that puts me in a mind to join the “Hope & Change” zombies. I like hope. I sometimes like change. And I wouldn’t mind being able to say that I voted for the first black candidate for President. Doesn’t that give you absolute moral authority or something?
That’s like getting a superpower.

With all due respect, if you voted for Obama, I’d be extremely disappointed. Disappointed beyond words. I’d be quite cross, indeed.
But then I loathe Obama more than mosquitoes, and I hate mosquitoes with a rage.

No one can say with any certainty that McCain will appoint conservative justices, which is the fallback position of his supporters.
Indeed, based on everything else he has said and done so far, I expect that in office he will continue to give all the conservatives who voted for him a solid and capable dry-rogering in the cornhole. The Republican party will be wrested from conservative control and delivered to the great mushy apolitical Middle, which has no principled ideology and is thus easily manipulated/ ignored.
One of the more charming fantasies of his supporters is that he is just lying about certain touchy issues in order to fool some people into voting for him. Ummmm, yes.

That would make an excellent political slogan:
“A Solid and Capable Dry-Rogering in the Cornhole.” Though, if I remember correctly, the second word in a hyphenated expression, if it is a verb, is not capitalized.

It’s a noun in this case, no?
May 13, 2008 at 8:16 am
A gerund, I believe.
And it is a well-turned phrase.

Eh, it’s America. No one but us blogger grammarfascists really care.

I am willing to write in lauraw, however. That way I still get the moral authority plus hours of entertainment imagining her State of the Union speeches.

Without, one must assume, the common courtesy of a reach-around.

You are obviously not familiar with my business model, Musli.
Turn around and grab your ankles and I will acquaint you with the rudimentary aspects.

I think you will find my service very solid and capable.
May 13, 2008 at 9:44 am
Are you more “solid” and “capable” than Hillary is reputed to be? I bet you have nicer legs, though.
May 13, 2008 at 10:32 am
No, but you can’t tell my legs are bad because of a little beauty secret; an enormous bumpy hump looming over the left shoulder ‘draws the eye’ from any subtle imperfections one might have, diminishing the impact of cankles, a moustache, and weeping lip sores.

Turn around…
lauraw is such a hands-on manager, and always making sure employees get the training they need.
