"Maverick" McCain: "I Would Nominate Animals to Cabinet"


The praise continues to roll in for John McCain's Vice Presidential pick as her unmarried pregnant teenager daughter, past involvement in a secession party and ignorance of Iraq show just how "maverick" a choice she was. McCain continues to insist he vetted Sarah Palin thoroughtly. Pressed for details he explained, "I saw her name printed on a piece of paper and instantly said, 'Yes.' Then, I met her. I punched her in the stomach and she didn't cry, so I knew I made the right choice."


Senator McCain says if elected he will continue to make "Maverick" decisions and would even appoint animals to serve on his cabinet. "Who would be a better Secretary of Defense than a feral owl?" McCain asked. "Owls are watchful and terrifying. They're militant, and they don't take any guff. For Secretary of Education, I would nominate a lynx to serve. They run fast and have beautifully toned hindquarters. For Health and Human Services, I'm thinking a tuna melt would be perfect. Who doesn't enjoy a tuna melt, especially when it's raining?"
