Political Madlibs
By Jeremy Hinton | Sunday, August 31st, 2008 | PoliticsThis isn’t breaking news, but it’s just too fun to pass over noting. Here’s Karl Rove on a certain potential veep pick a little while back.
“With all due respect again to Governor Kaine, he’s been a governor for three years. He’s been able but undistinguished. I don’t think people could really name a big, important thing that he’s done … [Kaine] was mayor of the 105th largest city in America. And again, with all due respect to Richmond, Virginia, it’s smaller than Chula Vista, California; Aurora, Colorado; Mesa, or Gilbert, Arizona; North Las Vegas, or Henderson, Nevada. It’s not a big town.”
Put Palin in there and Kaine actually sounds experienced. Especially since Richmond has almost 1/3 the population of all of Alaska, not to mention Richmond vs Wasilla.

Wow…this post certainly made me do a double take. Actually, I was drinking coffee, so I guess it was almost a spit take!
Thanks for the insight Jeremy. I love how politicians love to play on the short term memories of the people with “That’s not what I said” or “What I meant was…”
Sooo…I think we need to be on the lookout for others tasting the leather of their expensive shoes. Anyone?
Okay, okay, how about those Clintons!
How about those Bidens? Joe said in a debate that Obama wasn’t ready to be President.
