Donate Money To John McCain!
Everyone at TPM should donate money to John McCain if he does what Joe Klein is speculating about here and makes Jeb Bush his running mate.
It would be a delightful disaster. John, are you listening? If you agree to take Jeb onto your ticket, I will give you money! Heck, Obama himself would probably donate.
Could you imagine?
Sigh, McCain is probably just shy of senile enough to fall for this.

Oh, please. Pretty, pretty please.
That or Lieberman would just make my day.

Or Condoleeza Rice. It would just kill me to see the Republicans try to say, "Hey, we've got a Black person, too!" For all the 5 Black votes Condi would bring with her, it'd be priceless.

Yeah, and she can explain how different she is than Bush...

Lessee ...
1. She's black, Bush is white.
2. She's a woman, Bush is a dude.
That's about it, huh?

Do not foget the 15 emotionaly damaged feminists who would vote for that ticket and against their own policy preferences.

I know one other vote she would get: Laura Bush. Remember when Condi made the Freudian slip when she called Dubya her HUSBAND? Quite a weird slip to make by a never-married person who adores her boss! Laura made some snippy remarks about her afterwards, so I know she would like for Condi to be REALLY BUSY when this regime has been run out of town.

Ummm, can't we just say we'll give him money if he does it?

Yeah, Let's promise him he'll get all our "Bush Futures!" It has done wonders for our gas bills. On a more serious note: John McCain surely, deep in what is left of his soul, must certainly hate the Bushes. Surely he hasn't forgotten what they did to him in 2000. On some level he must despise the little weazel for his "Rovian" tactics against him. If he ever goes off his Valium, his head will explode!
He'd be more likely to bring Lieberman on, which would be truly delightful! Maybe the citizens of Connecticut could hold a new election just on principal if the Lieb ran for REP VP.
Oh, it makes me clap my hands!

Sure, there's no way a guy his age would remember our promise and if he does, we'll just tell him that we're mavericks.

Maybe we could just promise him a new onion for his belt? We'll even get him some of those funny green ones that look like grass. He can wear them like suspenders. He can call them his maverick suspenders.

I can't even believe this. Okay, I'm in such a hurry to finish off what's left of my country that I'm writing a check right now, with my other hand.
