Why shouldn't I be Governor?

There was some brightness in the World Series last night. This dialogue took place during a commercial break, right after watching Dick DeVos' beautiful daughter endorse her silver spooned father for Governor of Michigan.

"Gee, He now wants us to vote for him because he has a beautiful daughter. If that’s the only requirement, I should be running for governor," I say. Then turning toward my daughter, I ask, "C, would you do a TV commercial for me?"

“Dad,” my daughter C draws the word out as she rolls her eyes, “I think you better stay with your present job.”

  2. I'm sure your daughter wants more of your time for herself.

    But it does seem difficult to cut through the marketing to the message and the person with most politik-ing nowadays.

    Enjoy your World Series.

    And hiya - here via Michele.

  3. Why do you think I voted for Gore? He had a tri-fecta of hottitude. Grooowlll.....

    As for C.... she might come around for a Toyota Corolla and a credit card.

  5. Caramaena, she is smart!

    Keda, thanks

    Rashbre, heck, I want more time for her!

    Prego, if you're voting for candidates by the looks of their daughters, you'd have a reason to vote for Bush too. And Bush's daughters are probably more fun. After all, Gore's daughter published a book while Bush's were out partying.

    Karen, Let's hope tonight is a better game than last night!
