Politics as Art

Someone asked me recently if I would consider running as Stephen Colbert’s Vice Presidential pick. I’m considering it, though he hasn’t asked me yet. I am prepared for any eventuality. Certainly aspiring to be VP is a step down from my former aspiration, but I console myself that the position is unlikely to be quite as thoroughly unpleasant as that of President.

Of course, nearing my 80^th birthday, these days I’m older than Ronald Reagan was when he started losing his mind as President. Maybe that’s what we really need today: A mindless person a heartbeat away from the presidency. Following Sarah Palin may not be such a bad career choice. Can I make as much money at it as she has? If so it would certainly help subsidize the book-giveaway program I’d like to launch.

I may have lost my mind already even before this campaign begins, so perhaps I risk less in the land of political suffering than do most of our best and brightest.
