Tipper Gore for VP. Caller to Bender who is sitting in for Maddow.

I love it. I liked it when I heard it and still like it. Quite fascinating.

1. OH. HELL. NO.

She's never met a Maude Flanders Think of the Children! censorship scheme that she didn't like. Put her anywhere near the ticket and kiss the youth vote goodbye (I know people who refused to vote for Gore in 2000 because of her.)

Not to mention that she's unqualified.

7. Do we know that this is still a cause of hers? Anything to package it with

to rule her out totally?

How qualified does someeone have to be after suffering from 'qualified' people who screwed and are screwing us, killing, thieving, lying, deceiving, torturing, tormenting, not supporting and abusing the troops (our kids and their families), outsourcing, outmanufacturing, busting unions, stealing every penny from every budget of our government for their Republican agenda and their Switzerland and Liechenstein treasures. They are qualified. They got all that experience from Iran Contra, Watergate, Vietnam and guidance from the Heritage Foundation, AIPAC, AEI, Carlyle, Federalist Society - steal votes, obstruct votes, create hate, and they learned how to lie on tv, lie to foreign governments, create liars, and they learned how to shut up Democratic leaders and make them vote Republican.

9. Has she ever said she no longer supports media censorship?

Have you ever seen her give an interview? She appears to be about as sharp as a bag of hammers. I'd like a vice-presidential candidate who can think and articulate herself at least well enough to hold her own in an argument with a musician, if not a world leader or two.

Remember- a vice president could be called to the presidency at any moment. Or not, but they need to have the ability. If you can't see somebody taking an international leadership role, guiding a bill through congress or comforting and calming a nation in crisis, it's not the job for them.

2. She's probably about 6,487th on his list.

[Drunken Irishman]

3. NO! I don't need Tipper Gore telling me how to live my life and what I can and cannot watch.

[Mr_Jefferson_24]

4. I like this idea too...

...and this would be good for Obama's personal security -- the Ruling Class would be far less likely to JFK Obama without a VP that's in their pocket.

5. Hell yes

sweet revenge

[saltpoint]

6. Well, in the off-chance that Tipper is the veep nom, THIS boy is

still keeping his Velvet Underground, Rolling Stones, and other rock'n'roll recordings.

Tipper ain't gettin' nowhere NEAR my music.

8. ok

[vaberella]

10. As I said before. Obama does a photo-op with Santa Claus and we'll have a thread, St. Nick for Veep?
