Sarah Palin For Veep? I knew John McCain and his Rovian puppet masters were cynical, but this takes the cake.<\/p>\n
But hey, I’m a female.\u00a0 So I guess I have to vote for whats-her-name,\u00a0right?\u00a0 After all, the only reason I was backing Hillary is cuz we’re both female. So naturally, now that Obama’s chosen Biden as his running mate, I must\u00a0vote for a woman who STANDS FOR EVERYTHING I DESPISE:<\/p>\n
Sarah Who???
\nBy Madeleine\u00a0 Begun Kane<\/p>\n
Dear Johnny, I can not conceive
\nWhat could possibly make you believe
\nThat your anti-choice pick
\nCould possibly click
\nWith us Hillary-gals.\u00a0 How naive!<\/p>\n
You must think that we women are sheep,
\nWho would swoon at a female for Veep.
\nBut a right-wingnut gal
\nWho’d control our canal?
\nOh, that hole that you’re digging is deep.<\/p>\n
Yes, your pick has a beautiful face
\nAnd she’ll help you to shore up your base.
\nBut she’s wrong to the core
\nAnd (like you) she’s just more
\nOf Bush\/Cheney … with feminine grace.<\/p>\n
UPDATE:<\/strong> I\u2019m very pleased that my Robert Benchley Society Humor Award<\/a>\u00a0has generated a fair amount of publicity.
