Rudy drops a hint

Wink, wink. How about Lieberman at State and Rudy at Justice. In the unlikely even that Mitt doesn't get the VP nod, he would be good at Treasury. Now, of course, there is that little matter of winning 270 Electoral College votes...

Sad. Collective moan. The party with zero imagination versus the party with nothing concrete.

Mitt ? I'm all for it

Mr roT said...

Good point, Pepe. Mitt would expose us to a swift beating.

one can only hope. huckabee would be good one too but it'd be harder to spin him as a drooling wacko even though in reality, he is undoubtedly more so than Mitt.

The Huckster may look like a drooling wacko, but I bet he'd make a terrific snake oil salesman. This is a talent one should not underestimate.

I think Huck would be harder to beat in a debate than Mitt. Mitt would snootily act like the butler farted while Huck would snap off a one-liner that would be famous.

Tecumseh said...

I agree. Huck is a very good speaker, in a silky, mellifluous way. I can see how he would sell you a used, 1976 Pinto for $5,000.
Mitt, on the other hand, would try to sell you a brand new, red Lamborghini, but would not haggle.

More hints.

Tecumseh said...

I also do this all the time. Aren't the Russkies still commies?

Mr roT said...

It's no mistake.

Tecumseh said...

Right. And, I saw that "intrigue" bit that you added. I'd read somewhere that someone tried to pressure Lieberman into calling McCain to nic his own selection (!) but I didn't know it was Karl Rove. This goes well with the "AI Rove" label I'd put on.

Counterpoint: looks like NR has second thoughts on Mitt...
