Holy Veeps-Stakes, Batman!

POSTED BY: TheInDecider

As John McCain and Barack Obama get closer to picking their running mates, we're sure we know what's on their minds: "Which Batman villain matches most closely to the person I'm considering as my running mate?" After all, that's how presidential candidates have been picking vice presidents since 1939. Well, we thought we'd make it easy for them with this handy chart:

VPs for John McCain:

Mitt Romney = Two-Face
Romney's stances on the issues switch so much it's as if he's making ideological decisions based on coin flips. And you should see what his face looks like under the skin graft. Nothing but metal and wires.


Tim Pawlenty = Two-Face
Pawlenty had been rocking a mullet for a while, but now that he's getting close to being a contender, he cuts it off? Sounds pretty two-faced to us!

VPs for Barack Obama:

Mike Bloomberg = Two-Face
The self-made billionaire and NYC mayor is a Democrat turned Republican turned Independent. Plus, if the rumors of his adolescent womanizing are at least partially true, we assume he used to be taller than four-foot-eight and didn't talk like a cabaret singer.


Kathleen Sebelius = Two-Face
As the Democratic governor of a red state, she's had to pretend to hate things like gays and abortions in private while loving them in public. Plus, if she side-steps Hillary Clinton to become the first woman to win on a presidential ticket, expect to see donations to Hillary Clinton Supporters for Throwing Sulfuric Acid in Kathleen Sebelius' Face go through the roof.


Bill Richardson = Catwoman
So limber that cats in New Mexico are often described as, "lithe as a Richardson."

"Holy Bat Guano Batman! The Riddler broke into the Bat-Computer. I wonder what he's up to next!" "Will The Riddler continue his mischief in Blog City? Is this a fiendish plot by The Joker? Tune in next week. Same Bat time. Same Bat channel."

Let's Talk About Mitt Romney Because It's a Slow News Day

POSTED BY: CubbyChaser

What does Mitt Romney think about getting pushed out of the Republican nomination race a few months ago after spending $35 million of his own money?

"In some respects it's ideal," Romney said only half-jokingly as he sat down for an exclusive national interview with CBSNews.com before addressing the crowd at the opening of John McCain's Great Lakes regional headquarters. "Get out of the race just before summer so you can spend some time with the family at the beach."

Now, a $25 million summer vacation I can understand. We all overspend a little bit on vacations, but that extra $10 million just seems excessive to me.

But while we've already dug out and dusted off that Romney photo above, we might as well engage in a little baseless vice-presidential speculation...

Since dropping out of the Republican race in February, he has gone from being John McCain's fiercest rival to one of the Arizona senator's most visible surrogates. What was inconceivable during the height of their primary battles, the prospect of a McCain/Romney ticket, is now a real possibility.

The most obvious assets that Romney would bring to the Republican ticket include his economic expertise, fundraising prowess and potential to give McCain a boost in more than one battleground state.

Yeah, he has amazing "fundraising prowess"! Who else do you know who can raise $35 million from one guy?

LAST COMMENT:

Having lived in Utah during the Olympics I can tell you that Romney only did two things for the games: 1) Enabled the LDS Church to put a finally put a Mormon face on the games, and 2) Enabled the Olympic organizers to sweep all the corruption and bribery scandals under the carpet by having him say, "That was the past, I don't want to talk about the past, we are looking to the future." every five minutes.
