Note To McCain For Picking a Cute Buffoon

Dear John McCain,

This is a sincere Thank You note for being the man to put my heart, soul, time and money back into politics.

My beloved late husband, Hunter S. Thompson, gave me the political bug years ago. And to honor his spirit, I was asked to blog for several exciting websites during the Denver Convention. I accepted, but because I was a Hillary supporter, I was going through the motions with thinly veiled apathy and losing steam fast.

My story is not uncommon. I was one of the millions who was hoping for the Clinton/(Obama) ticket. With that failure, it got worse as the months went by. I got depressed, and even sick, my self-esteem tanked and interest in either party was slipping away.

Then whamo! With your VP pick, the Obama/Biden ticket is not just the better of the two parties, it is a bright and shining star next to the arrogant and stupid Sarah Palin you put in our faces.

So thank you John McCain for picking a woman who represents the worst-case scenario: A cute wild buffoon who is proud to be dumb. You put a twisted mirror up to all of us who strive to work hard, keep learning and become better women.

Because of your choice for VP, I have arranged for some time away from my studies at Columbia University to fly home to Colorado during election week and volunteer for Obama.

So thank you for putting the spring back in my step, my money, time and spirit to Obama & Biden that was not there before. Thank you again, you beautiful little man.

Most Sincerely,

Anita Thompson

Guess McSame's scheme is backfiring with women, in particular. However, it does appear to be working with some men who think a cutesie woman on teevee winking at them is the prelude to a fantasized conquest for them. It's enough to make Gomer Pyle look like Einstein, isn't it?

Thank you...I know this is the sentiment of many Hillary supporters, my mother included. When Obama did not pick Hillary as his VP, she "threatened" to vote for McCain. Then he picked Palin and my mother heard everything she stands for, and heard her interviews proving that she's nothing more than a trophy VP, and she's now 100% Obama. I think the one thing that McCain's pick did was remind many women who were having doubts that McCain doesn't even take us seriously!

Anita, let me give a shout out to the Grant Wood Elementary School for doing their part to make possible that Joe-six pack hockey mom who's given you this new lease on the election. :-)

Seriously, I've been an Obama supporter from the get go but know how I would have felt in your shoes. And I'm glad you're on board and from this Obama supporter, I really appreciate your support. He's a good man.

Thanks for the fun read. :-)
