Three Questions?
Politico hears from the person who vetted Sarah Palin for the vice-presidential job.
A.B. Culvahouse, a powerful Washington lawyer and former counsel to President Reagan, told an audience of Republican lawyers that for McCain, selecting a vice president came down to three questions: Why do you want to be vice president? Are you prepared to use nuclear weapons? And the CIA has identified Osama bin Laden, but if you take the shot there will be multiple civilian casualties. Do you take the shot?
“She knocked those questions out of the park,” he said at an event held at the National Press Club by the Republican National Lawyers Association. “We came away impressed.”
That’s it? Three questions and you can tell if the person is capable of being a heartbeat away from the presidency? At a Passover Seder a little kid has to ask four, and they’re mostly about food!
And look at those questions! I mean, they’re straight out of a beauty pageant. Of course Palin’s going to answer them right. Who said she was inexperienced for the job?
But, as my post from earlier today also proved, there are few things going on these days with the Republican Party that can’t be answered with some Monty Python.
Let’s face it, you should have known that was coming, and not just because Brian referenced it in the Comments last week.
