Larry Craig for VP

Rumors are flying out of the John McCain camp that a surprising and seemingly counterintuitive choice for the vice presidential running mate is imminent. There may be a proposal afoot among Republicans to name Senator Larry Craig of Idaho McCain's running mate. The theory being that if, as expected in November, after eight years of Bush incompetence the party's chances go into the toilet; Senator Craig is, among his party, the most well acquainted with the territory.

You are a very naughty boy Robert. There are some here who can't see humor if walks up and slaps them in the face.....or touches them with its shoe under the bathroom stall.

Robert I have ALWAYS adored you! Keep it up.

Why not? Senator Craig has done a good job for Idaho. They are conservative and he is conservative. Now he can't be considered in the closet antmore. so that shoe has been dropped!

[scooperss]

Funny!

There well may be some truth to the tale spun that the repus do not really want to win this election. Not one of them has any idea how to undo the damage done by bushit and co. and to get the economy moving in a way that will revive hope in the hearts of Joe and Jane America. The rich have taken away as many breaks as they can from the working classes. An uneducated, frightenable populace is a controllable one. Our political system has been so corrupted that only the very rich can afford to run for office and if you've been born with a silver spoon the size of a canoe paddle in your mouth, you know little to nothing about survival in the paycheck to paycheck world. Rich politicians have made our money worthless, rich politicians' wives rack up in one month enough credit card debt to have purchased flat out homes for eight families, and they welsh on their taxes. The rich are so out of touch with the real world that it should be mandatory for ALL elected officials to spend 6 months out of every 24 living on the wages of the average person, and I do mean average rather than the inflated, so-called "national average wage". Like the joke says, the minute Bill Gates walks into a bar, the average wage escalates ten-thousand-fold. No one in the repu party has a clue how to erase the past seven years.

I suppose Craig as running mate would attract certain elements as does poor old McSmiley.
More likely some smart ass in the GOP is circulating this to draw attention from McSmiley's near daily gaffes and booboos. Time for the press to report these to the electorate!

Ease up guys, McCain and Craig suffer different, but troublesome maladies: the former, restless lobe syndrome and the latter, restroom leg syndrome.

[kardwell]

I wholeheartedly support Craig for the VP role.

Craig must have a coating of Teflon that would have made Reagan green with envy.

Just the ticket for the Republicans in November.

If he's going for the Log Cabin Republican vote, I don't think there is enough of them to put him over the top ;)

The LCRs don't have stalls ... they have out-houses.

I hope he does pick Craig. A real nail in the coffin which would be great.

HI-LARIOUS!! I forgot about that gag.

His campaign momentum has stalled. It was flush with cash, but it all seems to be going down the tubes. By fingering the right person for the VP position, he may yet be able to yank victory from the jaws of da feet.

[Repuganator]

Momentum! What momentum?

[whatsthatsound]

It ,,,Was... A... JOKE! Notice the language; "stall", "flush", "down the tubes", "fingering", "yank" "feet"
You do know who Larry Craig is, right?

[InspiredByTruth]

ITS MCSAMEINSOMNIA BA-BEE! He's drivin the old folks homes nutts!

[ylpatriot]

McCain/Craig

And old jock and its worn strap...

[Aramingo]

I know some on here had to say it, but it bears repeating. I think that Robert made this suggestion to see if Craig knows the "I can't stop my leg" routine.

In truth, I think he actually does the routine, but without the bluesy feel that Klein gives.
