In an attempt to rebut the mounting evidence that her record as a “reformer” is a sham, GOP Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin announced today that she will be auctioning off running mate John McCain on eBay.
Surrounded by representatives of both the evangelical and tax-cutting wings of her party, Palin asserted that this would be “the best way to cut Government waste, especially since we don’t need a recent convert who only became a believer in God during this past election cycle.”
In attendance was Dr. James Dobson of the organization “Hocus-Pocus on the Family,” who indicated that his group might bid for and buy McCain, for the purpose of keeping him in a lockbox for the duration of a Palin Presidency. Dobson added that the man-sized safe kept by Dick Cheney in his office might prove to be perfect for the job.
Alternatively, some of the GOP faithful were more inclined to burn McCain as a fossil fuel, but as a concession to the alternative energy crowd, only after utilizing the old man’s potential as a source of mighty wind.
Experienced eBay users were skeptical, however, that McCain could attract a substantial price at auction, pointing out that his value has greatly declined ever since the former maverick himself utilized eBay — with the obvious help of his aide — to sell his own soul.
