My Laugh for the Morning
I’m not sure if Politico columnist Ben Smith meant for this to be humorous, but it drew quite a laugh from me. From his column titled, “Palin disinvited from Iran rally”:
… The McCain campaign then pressed Senator Barack Obama to join Palin on the stage in a show of unity against Iran.
The Obama campaign in turn offered to send Congressman Robert Wexler of Florida — who had harshly attacked Palin for slender ties to Pat Buchanan– to the event.
I can just hear the folks at the Obama headquarters now: “You want me to what? Oh, hell no! You know what, tell them we’ll send a rep. to stand with her … who should we get? Biden? Nah, we want to wait and unleash him on her in the debate … wait! What about Wexler? Aw, yeah! Offer them Wexler.”
It seems, from the column, that folks want to stand with Palin like they want to stand with with one of House’s patients. She’s like this potential plague of which no one dares come within 100 feet.
