Another Rumour

So this AM on NPR, I heard the first twitters of a rumour I’ve been waiting to hear shouted from the housetops: Condi Rice as Vice President!!!! What a perfect balance! Punk and Condi! Now, I admit that I can’t imagine Republicans voting en mass for an African American Lesbian. But I do think it would make a STUNNING choice: and it would make the home stretch of this election cycle interesting, at least.
Regarding reports to the contrary, I can only refer to the BBC’s Jim Hacker, Margaret Thatcher’s favourite (TV) Prime Minister. “One does not seek such an office: one only wishes to serve the public good. But if one’s friends were to prevail upon one that, in the nation’s best interest, the heavy burden of such a lofty estate must be borne, then one would have to bend one’s own desires to the better good…”
