What are y'all's qualifications?

I bet at least half of DUers have more impressive resumes than Sarah Palin, in all seriousness.

2. I, for one, have never been the crooked mayor of a small Alaskan town...
...except in my dreams. :)

3. Perhaps, Were you President of the Student Council?
After all that is "executive" experience.

6. No, I think I was the historian. But... I don't remember.
I was the social chair in my sorority, though! And I was voted "Best Hair"!

4. According to Minnesota rep Bachmann, you have to have sold a plane on e-bay.
Honestly. She said that qualified Palin on Larry King tonight.

:rofl:

7. I play the French Horn, and my step brother has lived in Hong Kong and London
plus, I was in student council in junior high. Time to print my name on the ballot.

9. Living abroad would disqualify you to be the Republican vp candidate
unless you were stationed abroad as part of the military. If you chose to live abroad as a civilian we'd have to worry that you may have picked up some funny foreign ideas.

Actually, you probably couldn't be the Democratic vp candidate either because we'd be afraid that the Republicans would make a big deal out of you living abroad.

11. I also protested against American policy while abroad - I guess I should just have sex with a hooker
Damn. I was starting to get excited.

10. I was president of the Rotary Club, have been to Mexico,
and I also was treasurer for my church's last fund raiser. According to McLame, I've got executive experience, foreign experience, religious experience, and budget experience. I'm as qualified as Palin.

12. I was class president, lived in Brazil for a year and speak 3 languages
Of course I was removed as class pres. for making fart noises during the principal's speech at a student assembly. My mom was appalled but I was a hero to a lot of the student body.
