McCain V.P. short-lister Charlie Crist's "sham" marriage?

By GottaLaff

Is marriage a pre-requisite for a vice presidential candidate? If it is, would someone be so dishonest, so underhanded as to claim their adoration for someone just to get into office? What?! Get real.

Republican politicians get married because they love their (opposite sex only) soul mates. They are honest, upstanding souls who wouldn't think of deceiving the public for personal gain. Not ever:



Think Progress:

Via Matt Yglesias, MSNBC pundits this morning discussed potential running mates for John Mccain and whether there is a “glass ceiling” for unmarried individuals in politics. After Andrea Mitchell floated Gov. Charlie Crist (R-FL) as an example, Joe Scarborough noted that Crist is engaged. Chuck Todd suggested the engagement may be staged so Crist can be Vice President:

SCARBOROUGH: Did he get married? I thought he was engaged. Is he engaged or did he get married?

TODD: After Friday the engagement might be off if he’s not the running mate., right? … I don’t know!

Oh, how they laughed. Isn't that a riot?

As the group laughed, Andrea Mitchell remarked, “That is so mean.” “Wow,” said Scarborough.

"Wow," said Laffy. "That is so... on the mark."
