2016 Veep Nominee Disasters (It's Friday Night: Relax Already!) [View all]

Last edited Fri Nov 14, 2014, 08:53 PM - Edit history (1)

Let's face it, folks: We've had a shitload of bad choices for the Vice Presidency in recent decades. The obvious template is Quayle, but I would excuse him, as he actually did serve his full term as VPOTUS. But in 2000, we had the Neocon Twins, Cheney and Lieberman, and then, in '04, Cheney again, along with John Rielle Edwards.

And, in 2008, the Queen of Bad Veep Choices, the soon-to-be-ex-Governor-of-Alaska-except-it-wasn't-because-of-getting-elected (thank you, whatever gods hold watch). Then, in '12, we had Paul American Boy Ryan, whom I remain convinced kicks homeless orphans for fun.

But that's all in the past! WE CAN DO MUCH WORSE, AMERICA!

Give me your tired, wretched, lusting assholes, yearning to be first in line as the President breathes his/her last breath. I do not include Bernie Sanders on this list, as he is intellectually incapable of making a bad choice.

But who would be Hillary's worst pick? Warren's? Christie's? Paul's? Walker's? O'Malley's? Cuomo's? Cruz's?

Joe Scarborough's?
