Palin on the ticket (Michael not Sarah)

And now for something completely different. Yes, this is ridiculous but it's meant to be. And obviously it has a political bias in that its premise is that Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin doesn't have the experience to be vice president.

But for those of us of a certain age, the notion of Monty Python's Michael Palin on a presidential ticket was such a silly walk down memory lane, we thought we'd share it.

What are his positions on the plight of the European and African Swallows? Until I know, I don't know that I can vote for him. I do know he is more qualified than Sarah, however.

Mr. James: You might not like the Republican ticket, but this sort of dirty politics should be beneath you and the Chicago Tribune. If you value the integrity and impartiality of journalism then you should yank this column as soon as possible. Thank you.

Republicans (and Ryan),have no sense of humor. Michael Palin is much more qualified anyway, but alas, not a US citizen.

Very clever. If only it weren't true.

If Palin is not qualified to be VP, what does that make Obama to be President. Has he even handled a state budget? Has he ever run a town? His time as senator has been spent campaigning. So, let me see do you need someone as President that is not qualified? Or do we need a VP that has covered a wide range of political experience?
