Lusting After An Elitist

I’m sorry,  Governor Palin, I don’t think I want a hockey mom for Vice President of the United States. When it comes to really high office, I want someone more qualified than I am. I know my limits. Why don’t you?

Being a hockey mom qualifies one  to manage a kids’ hockey team, not to be a spare president. So don't keep pushing that as a plus. True, you're a governor;  I  seriously believe you would make a fine congresswoman or senator. Put in a term or two at that first,  then come back and run for the big prize. 

Deliver us from people who want to be our leaders and look like us at the same time. I don’t want anyone as my leader who has to come down to my level. My name isn’t Joe, and it’s been a really long time since I had a six-pack (or even drank one), so that approach doesn’t cut the ice with me.

By the way, there are other voters in this country besides average people. How about those poor abused elitists – don’t they deserve representation, too?

There, now I’ve said it.
