Reagan’s corpse would have brought more excitement then Jack Kemp.
Boehner Tried To Get Scalia To Be Dole’s VP Over Pizza
Wasilla Kardashian got a job as headline writer?
Ultimately, Dole would choose Jack Kemp to be his running mate, which Boehner wrote “accomplished the goal of bringing excitement to the ticket.”
Yeah, I remember filling my shoes with piss when Kemp was named VP nominee.
The pitch might have been more effective if Boehner didn’t bogart the wine.
The Veep of Pizza? Sounds appropriate…
“Scalia would’ve been a right-field choice…”
fixed
Wow, what a boner of an idea that was from that big joker Boehner…
I hope the cerebral constitutionalist Scalia looked up from his slice long enough to inform the dullard Boehner that one does not actually run for vice president. Also, that to trade a lifetime appointment to the court for a shot in the dark opportunity for a job once equated to a “warm pitcher of spit” does not appear to be a wise career move.
Footnote–I seem to recall Bob Dole being a zero (0) term President.
Did Boehner think to also offer a calendar and a pen and pencil set???
Conservatism: There is noting like a justice in supreme court,who is openly partisan.
Fox: Scalia would have been a good fill-in for Sean Hannity or even replace him.
Amazing how much Scalia looks like Nixon’s younger brother in that photo.
The headline as it appears on the front page–“Boehner Says He Once Urged Scalia To Run For Vice President Over Pizza”–made me imagine Boehner egging Scalia on to physically run at Joe Biden even though there was a pizza in the way.
Well, either Boehner is even stupider than I thought, or this was a brilliantly subtle way of telling Nino he was too partisan for the Scotus.
Boehner Says He Once Urged Scalia To Run For Vice President Over Pizza
Well, pizza is a very serious issue. For example, that deep-dish monstrosity they try to pass off as pizza in Chicago should be called something else. (Ducks and runs for cover.)
I can’t say enough about how this piece of information has changed my life. “For fuck’s sake”
Boehner Says He Once Urged Scalia To Run For Vice President Over Pizza
Ummmmmm…I’d vote for the pizza, even an anchovy pizza, over Scalia.
Beat me to it.
Nawwwwww… this came after Orange Boyz sixth glass of white zinfandel.
