And That's Why You Didn't Get To Select the Veep Nominee

I am absolutely touched - touched I tell you - by the outpouring of support by the Republicans for Senator Clinton. Just today, Rudy Giuliani, in a CNN article, stated that the"best decision to win" would have been for Obama to pick Clinton for the VP slot.

Yeah, maybe the best decision for McCain to win. But certainly not for Obama.

I mean, let's be honest. We already have the racists lining up behind McCain, trying to disguise their bigotry by hiding behind claims that Obama is a closet Muslim or has a hidden agenda or has "Hussein" as a middle name (as brilliantly outlined in this article). An Obama/Clinton ticket would not only send the misogynists and chauvinists scurrying to the Grand Old Party, but all the Clinton-haters as well.

And whilst we Dems become verklempt over Rudy's concern for our party, let's not forget the ways in which he, too, bashed Senator Clinton when he actually thought he might have a chance of winning the Republican nomination. Let's see...there was the time he accused Hillary of character assassination. There was the time he compared her negatively to George McGovern. There was the time he criticized her for stand on the Iraq War. And those are just the easy citations to find.

Could it be, Rudy, that you were hoping, like so many Republicans, that the Democrats would provide McCain with an easy way to mobilize a base that isn't quite so excited about their presumptive nominee? Do you really think that the American people are really that enamored of you that they don't realize where your biases lie?

Nice try, Rudy. But it's time to dry those crocodile tears of yours. In the words on Senator Clinton: No way, no how, no McCain.
