THE McCAIN/CLINTON TICKET: YES, IT COULD HAPPEN

(New York Times) In the most startling development yet in the 2008 Presidential race, sources close to the Hillary Clinton campaign indicate that the Senator is poised to accept John McCain's offer to be his Vice-Presidential running mate. According to a highly placed Clinton staffer, "Hillary is desperate to return to the White House in some capacity, and she doesn't give a damn how she gets there." When asked if recent rumors of McCain's affair with a lobbyist 9 years ago bothered Senator Clinton, the staffer gave a loud hoot and replied, "You've GOT to be kidding! This woman is married to Bill 'Where-Are-My-Pants?' Clinton. Bothered? Hell, she's just happy that John and her husband share some common interests."
