And John McCain is This Year's Miss Congenialty!

McCain responds, "I feel pretty, oh so pretty, I feel pretty and witty and gaaaay (Which is, of course, evil, immoral, recently illegal (thanks to voters like you!), and an abomination in the eyes of the Lord)."

Trust Mr. McCain to ruin a perfectly good musical number. Did you hear that McCain?! I said you're BOOOORING!

It seems as though President-elect Obama is handing out Runner-Up positions this week. "Thank you for playing, sorry I had to beat you - no hard feelings; how does Secretary of State sound?"

News organizations and politicos have all been abuzz the past week over the P.E.'s potential picks for his national security team, etceteras, etceteras. Allegedly, Hillary Clinton is a shoe-in for Secretary of State (that is, of course, if that nasty rascal Bill doesn't ruin it for her... and his little library fund too...). Other names revealed, as per drawn from a big, George Washington-style hat, for his economic team?

Heading his economic team are expected to be Timothy Geithner as Treasury secretary and Lawrence Summers as head of the National Economic Council. Obama apparently also has settled on New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson as his commerce secretary.
I love that NPR chooses the words "...apparently also has settled on... Bill Richardson". Insinuating both shock and vague disappointment; but I, for one, am happy about the pick. I loved former presidential candidate Bill Richardson throughout the campaigning, if, for nothing else, simply how incredibly sincere and kind he seems. He reminds me of a puppy. A Latino puppy... and in my eyes, that's all the expertise he needs.

John Edwards, for one, won't be seeing any action this term. Adulterers don't get to play the game! Those is the rules.
