Why I am qualified to be Vice President
The selection of Sarah Palin, Governor, Mayor, Hockey Mom as the Republican Vice Presidential candidate is inspiring. Where else but in America could someone just like us, like me, for that matter, find herself, overnight, the nominee for the second-highest office in the country and in the line of succession to be the leader of the free world? Her story, the rise from being an ordinary member of the Wasilla PTA to becoming the standard-bearer of the Republican Party is my story, is all of our stories really.
In fact, not only could I have been the Vice Presidential nominee, I should have been. And since there are undoubtedly Cabinet offices to be filled in the McCain Administration I would like to publish my credentials, along with my contact information, so President McCain will know how to reach me.
Here then are the reasons I am qualified to be the Vice President of the United States – or a member of the McCain Palin administration.
- I served on the Board of the Pluckemin Church nursery school
- I was a Girl Scout troop leader – and served a year as the cookie Mom which makes me an expert in supply chain management (for Bridgewater New Jersey, which by the way is bigger than Wasilla Alaska)
- I ran the Holiday Boutique at the Hamilton School , and I would like to point out that my use of the word “holiday” - instead the Judeo-Christian term – shows my extreme sensitivity to cultural diversity. Secretary of State? You be the judge.
- I have traveled to France within the past two years so I will be able to speak with President Sarkozy or more importantly with Carla Bruni who we all know wears the pants there.
- I have bought things on eBay.
- I have been a soccer mom.
- I have at least 5 lipsticks in my purse.
- I didn’t have a cool nickname in high school but I did win the Betty Crocker Homemaker of the Year award
- I have had a library card for the past 25 years.
However, since America is a meritocracy, I believe that the best man, or woman should get the job. So I am willing to stack my credentials up against anyone’s and I invite you to post your resume here so that the McCain Palin Administration, in fact all of America will see the abundant pool of talent that is waiting to run the most powerful nation on the planet.
May the best (wo)man win.
