Tim Kaine's Children: Tim Kaine Could Be Vice President Of Lameness, Maybe

[meegbear]

Inciting further speculation that Virginia governor Tim Kaine would be named Sen. Barack Obama's running mate, snickering reports from the Kaine household have indicated that the 50-year-old father of three has the experience and leadership qualities necessary to become vice president—assuming the position is vice president of being a total dork. "Oh, sure, yeah, (Kaine) is definitely ready to fill out the ticket by appealing to white blue-collar workers and Latinos," said Tim Kaine expert and daughter Annella Kaine, 13. "Not! He'll probably be like, 'Vote for me and I'll make everyone go to bed early. Derr, derr, derr.'" For now, no official decision has been announced regarding the Democratic ticket, and Kaine's children continue to maintain that nothing short of a high-level cabinet position will convince them to allow their dad to talk to any of their friends.

1. The politics of blandness

*heavy sigh*

I can live with Kaine -- barely -- and only slightly more so Biden, but whatever happened to change and hope if you're a progressive? Obama is really showing up as a Blue Dog to me.

Sorry about that, to those of you who will take personal offense. I probably won't be responding to your vitriolic responses, either.

2. Do you generally sigh like that at Onion articles?

Ever have a lighthearted moment?
