Vice Presidents

Lots of talk about potential vice presidents over at Tapped. Sam Boyd chimes in most recently with a couple of people who he thinks should be VP to offset all the talk about who the running mates are likely to be. In that spirit, I'd like to recommend myself, as I believe I prefer my political judgment to the judgment of most other Americans. Unfortunately, in the event that the president dies or resigns or whathaveyou, I'm too young by law to succeed him, and so I'm afraid I can't be considered.

As a proxy, though, allow me to recommend my father* who has both sterling credentials and a helluva fine son--one who will no doubt appreciate all the perks that come with being the manchild of an American vice president.

*=before anybody decides to go all crazy, my mom is also pretty outstanding, but was born and raised in another country and must therefore can't be considered either.
