Dammit! We need to just start electing the guys with the hottest wives (or if female, the hottest candidates). We’re never happy with the people we elect anyway, and it would do away with all this bullshit over caucuses and primaries and who lied or didn’t lie about what the other guy said or did. (And let’s face it: guys who look like Dennis Kucinich or Fred Thompson and gets wives like they have has got to have a lot on the ball!) No big fund-raising efforts would be required, no ad buys, no lies and no bullshit. Everybody can see what they look like and just vote for whoever’s the prettiest.
I’ve been seeing more coverage of Michelle Obama lately (who seems really cool, incidentally. She’s an Ivy League lawyer like Hillary but she comes across without any stridency or pretense and appears to adore her husband, regardless of her little deprecating jokes about his socks and his gassiness). We heard about Elizabeth Edwards’ cancer. We haven’t heard much about Cindy McCain (who started her relationship with John McCain while he was still married to his first wife, by the way. If he was a Democrat a huge issue would be made of that but IOKIYAR). I don’t remember seeing a thing about Janet Huckabee.
What is your cite for this? The AP says refer to former presidents as “President Carter,” etc. At least that was the case when I was still reporting for newspapers.
Holy crap. I knew Elizabeth Kucinich was hot from her pictures but I didn’t realize how hot. I wish we could vote separately for First Lady like we used to for VP. I would rather stick needles in my eye than vote for Kucinich but I would love to see her in the White House for the next 4 or 8 years.
