John McCain selected Laura Bush as his running mate for President of the United States. Sighting that she has equal experience to Hillary Clinton: living in the White House; sleeping with the president; traveling to over fifty nations with the President; meeting dignitaries from all over the world in the White House; having been married to a former Governor; and kicking husband George awake for those 3 A.M. red telephone calls, each of which for the last seven years.
Ms. Bush also brings to the ticket a sparkling reputation absent of: rumors of a husband with a roving eye; no Paula Jones women in his CV; shenanigans with a White House intern labeled a right-wing conspiracy until a stained blue dress surfaced; Travel-gate firings; Whitewater-gate real estate venture; frequent rental of the Lincoln bedroom; and the current refusal to release tax returns or telephone logs while living in the White House.
