Jiminy Cricket! Is their strategy just to wish?

Sitting back watching Sarah Palin join John McCain's campaign as his running mate, I can only think of one thing. This Mr. Deity skit.



In the end, Mr. Deity and Larry take a bet on whether anyone on earth will still believe in God if he allows Holocausts, Down Syndrom, Baby Torture and Natural Disasters (but hey, he did rule against people hurting others with just their thoughts, so that's nice).


Do the Republicans even have a chance with a VP nominee who:

~Believes in Intelligent Design/Creationism


~Hates cuddly little polar bears

~Supports the McCain Jedi Mind Trick view that "everything's okay in America, move along. Move along"

~As a woman running for one of the most powerful jobs in this nation, she introduces herself by telling us about her husband's snowmobiling?

I guess the Republicans are going with the good ol' boy/soccer mom strategy. Who am I to knock it? With a little help from Diebold, that strategy has been working for them! So while millions are tearing out their hair in glee/anguish shouting "Fools! They won't vote for you now!" all I can think about is Mr. Deity. It's a bet I'm not willing to take.
