McCain / Fey for President

I told my daughter that I was tempted to put up one of those wire and cardboard candidate signs in my front yard. But my sign was one I would have to make myself. I doubt that McCain will actually drop Palin as his Vice-Presidential candidate. He's not the kind of guy who admits defeat, even if his continued battle brings him to ruin. And it has become painfully obvious that he has a tremendous ego, and admitting mistakes isn't something he does voluntarily, but only when forced to by disciplinary action of the Senate.

But just think about it. Tina Fey is so much smarter than Palin it doesn't seem fair to even compare them. Fey is more qualified to be Vice-President simply on the basis of her superior intellect, but her lack of the blind, arrogant ambition that propels Palin recklessly forward makes her a far wiser choice as well.

So say it with me - McCain/Fey 2008! Well, alright, I still wouldn't vote for John McCain, but at least I wouldn't have lost all my respect for him.

And if you aren't convinced yet, here's a little evidence that people may not even notice if McCain switches fey for Palin.
