Dowd For Veep

Somebody please explain how Maureen would help the McCain ticket? I guess the gist of the cartoon is that the media is so in the tank for Obama (which is entirely different from Dukakis in the tank) that the only way to get them to quit fawning over Barack is to offer them highly placed positions in the McCain Cabinet.

Besides, Dowd would make an awful vice-president. It's the president's job to make up silly names for his associates.
