Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin is Hot

Finally, a Reason to Watch the Vice Presidential Debates!

Sarah Palin has been named the Vice Presidential running mate of Senator John McCain. This is a brilliant move on the part of the Arizona Senator on behalf of the American public. Any reason to watch the Vice Presidential debate is good for America. While many people will turn on the tube just to look at Sarah Palin they may actually pay attention to the conversation that takes place between Sarah Palin and Senator Joseph Biden.

Sarah Palin, for those who care, is the Governor of Alaska and the former mayor of the town of Wasilla, Alaska. While there will be a lot of debate over whether or not this resume gives her the credentials to be Vice President, I as a historian am reminded of the somewhat famous saying of former FDR Vice President John Garner who stated something to effect of the Vice Presidency was not worth a bucket of warm spit. When I first saw Governor Palin my first thought was that she may well turn out to be the best looking (and only) bucket of spit that I have ever saw. (Interestingly there is some disagreement about the exact quote. It is even argued that the colorful Garner actually did not say spit but rather another bodily fluid that rhymes with hiss.)

According to her statements, Sarah Palin's husband seems like a good guy as well. The family hunts, he works in the oil business, and is also a champion snowmobile racer. It is just a guess, but living in Alaska odds are he is a fisherman to boot. Alaska is the dream of all of us that hunt and fish. He gets to do it and come home to a lovely wife and their family. Lucky son of a gun.

In other related matters, I never got around to writing an article about current White House Press Secretary Dana Perino. She is hot as well. And she is married as well.

And while I am it, I might as well mention my crush on Karen Finerman. Karen Finerman is one of the faces of CNBC's Fast Money. Fast Money is one of my favorite shows on television, good discussion about the stock market and the economy and I get to watch Karen. Ahhhh.... And yes, Karen to is married.

Three beautiful, intelligent ladies, but all are married. (My wife and her rolling pen just reminded me that I am married as well)
