Down and out with the failed veeps (McCain didn't pick)

[RamboLiberal]

I got a chuckle out of this column by Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Tony Norman.

Suddenly, there is a shriek from the end of the room. Tom Ridge wakes from his nap with a start. "I needed that job," Carly Fiorina says, crumpling a McCain-Palin campaign poster between two white-knuckled fists, "but he gave it to a less qualified woman. I could've brought disgruntled Hillary supporters on board, but he goes for someone who knows how to shoot, skin and fry moose burgers. I'm so humiliated."

"I needed that job," Mike Huckabee says, crumpling another McCain-Palin sign while chomping on premium lunch meat from the fridge. "As the evangelical right's most prominent political standard-bearer in the Republican primary, I don't think it's the Lord's will that a woman outranks me."

"Gee willikers, I needed that job," Mitt Romney says crumpling his flier and pounding the table with it. "I look like a president, I have a full head of hair and I understand economics better than any of you. If I weren't a Mormon, I'd be working on my acceptance speech right now."

"Look, I know I'm the last person to speak, given my Bernie Kerik problems," Giuliani says with uncharacteristic modesty, "but does anyone here believe for a second that John's people seriously vetted this woman? I mean, a pregnant teenage daughter? And c'mon -- he met Sarah once and talked to her a couple of times on the phone before picking her? Does he hate our guts that much?"

The door to the secluded board room opens and a crestfallen Sen. Joe Lieberman enters. "I gave up everything for that man," Lieberman says through tears. "I gave up my party, my dignity as a feisty independent and my future in Connecticut politics. I'm scheduled to speak at this cursed Republican convention while New Orleans drowns. I'll be Joe Loserman of 2000 all over again."
