The 2012 Republican Dream Ticket
I’ve been having a delightful discussion with an emerging conservative pundit whose political insight easily equals that of Canadian Sentinel’s, and whose eloquence is at least the match of Mahmood’s. I refer to Dodo Can Spell, the Pheisty Philosopher recently discovered by CC.
We have both agreed that Sarah Palin is the only possible choice for a Republican presidential candidate in 2012; I honestly cannot think of another person I’d prefer to bear the GOP’s standard into battle. Since she broke like a fresh wind upon the American political scene last year, she has come to represent the very quintessence of the new Right.
We could anticipate the loathing that she inspires among the Left, whose obsession with so-called “experience”, shallow “eloquence”, showy “knowledge” and spurious “literacy” simply betrays their own elitism. More troubling, however, is the controversy (ridiculously exaggerated by the communo-Islamophilic MSM) that she inspires within the Republican party itself – I’m talking about the Frums, the Wills, and the other namby-pamby RINO milksops who think you can run a country on ideas, vision and intelligence alone.
It seems clear that in order to mount a credible challenge to Obama, however, the divine Sarah will have to put together a ticket that addresses five key areas. She needs a Vice Presidential candidate who:
- can act as a bridge between the “old” Republicans with the new, emerging,re-energized wing of the Party;
- stands four-square for traditional American values;
- has a record of military service;
- has political experience and credentials at the most senior level;
- is a male, old enough to radiate gravitas, but younger than John McCain.
The choice, it seems to me, is obvious.
Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time to draft the former Vice President of the United States, Mr. James Danforth “Dan” Quayle III.
Sarah Palin and Dan Quayle, together. A ticket we can ALL endorse.
Have you tried methadone yet?
Dodo is just such a special blogger, why she almost makes me want to enter the gray again,… I sent CC a special Flight of the Dodo graphic, very tastefully done I might add, I was going to email a select version for Dodo to use on her own blog, but she doesn’t seem to have left an email addy,… oh well.
Dodo IS methadone. You KNOW where the real thing lives.
Are we being had?
A couple of years back I did a spoof blogsite called “stephenharperfanclub.” I quickly ran out of steam–satire is work, especially when you don’t want it to be taken as such. Maybe someone’s having us on–although the benightedness does have an authentic ring to it.
Incidentally, I checked in on my blogsite today. It had been removed by Blogger, and I was primly informed that the address “is not available for other bloggers.” There’s a story there somewhere, but I’m too bored to go get it.
It is impossible to believe that there could be two Scenties.
One for each nostril?
Actually, I was thinking of the romantic possibilities – spurned by Kate, Scenty finds the Dodo…
The thought of Scenty sowing his oats is very disturbing,… impregnating Teh Dodo,… doubly so,…
Zorpheus, as deBeauxOs, with whom I agree on nothing, bravely told the CC crowd, you are way out of line. Political differences don’t constitute a license for rank misogyny. Female bloggers have worries we don’t have. Do you want to hear their voice or not?
OTOH, Dr. Dawg’s suspicious musings are worth pondering, although the posts are so off the wall ( where did that post about Algerians attacking Chinese come from?) that compassion may be the best bet.
You are correct Peter, Dodo is not as tough as she would like the rest of us to believe she is, after reading her last post, I think it is time to back away slowly from her,…
Zorpheus:
Geez , I hate classy leftists who agree with me!
I have no class Peter, so relax, your rep is still safe. Now admit the graphic I did of the Flight of the Dodo was good,… I think even the term cute might apply
Sigh, she is still such an ankle biter though,… She really is such a newbie it is embarrassing to watch her,… Now I am the very last person who will point and correct a bloggers spelling and grammar (and we all know why), but seriously,… if she is going to point me out,… you know, pot, kettle, black, goose, gander and sauce,…
It is so hard not to slap this dodo silly,… The funniest part is she actually thinks she is being original,…
Well that is enough on the Subject of the Dodo,… I expect she will manage to pull Levels of “Pull’in a Palin” and we will have to recalibrate our Stoopiditea meters to accommodate her,… yet for now it is just to painful to watch anymore, kind of like watching a Peter Sellers movie
“Well that is enough on the Subject of the Dodo.”
It is. I feel silly, to tell you the truth; she’s utterly trivial, and clearly glorying in her fifteen minutes of blog-fame.
Cripes, who isn’t? If it wasn’t for blog-fame, I’d be a total nobody!
I know. How quickly one becomes accustomed to the lights, the limos and the lolly that come of being a big time blogger….
