Over the last few months — thanks mostly to the highly-amusing diversion of Operation Chaos — I've been able to rise out of the doldrums and become more philisophical about the possibility of a McCain presidency. My new attitude is quite simple. "John McCain is an idiot, but he's our idiot."
However, as the "veepstakes" heats up, I am feeling yet another emotional swing McCain-ward.
There are lots of names beind bandied about. Some that I love hearing (Mitt Romney, Bobby Jindal) and others that make me cringe. But when I heard the name
M I C H A E L

mentioned, I nearly lost my load.
Apparently, the utter insanity of nominating a man who considered pulling a "jumping Jeffords" every third Tuesday is not enough for the GOP. Let's marry him to an Second-Amendment-bashing Independent like Bloomberg.
I'm beginning to feel like the wife of a lying, cheating, philandering cad who keeps going back for more. "But he really loves spending reductions," I tell myself. "And he's a great advocate for the military. I'm sure he won't cheat on me again..."
Is there a safehouse for Conservative refugees from the GOP?
