At the CPAC gathering in Chicago, he said:
"And it would be a great honor to be considered as a vice president for the Republican Party. I think that would be something that anybody who said otherwise would not be being truthful."
For the public record: I am truthfully saying otherwise. Really.
Not only would I NOT be honored to be considered for the Republican VP nomination, I would be insulted, horrified, and very much disgusted to be considered to considered for the Republican nomination for ANYTHING. I do not consider myself greedy, hateful, paranoid or superior to my fellow humans, and therefore would like very much for it to be clear that it would be a dishonor to me to ever be considered to be a Republican.
