The Vetting of the Jew

Sorry, South Park has invaded our brain.

We read today that McCain is looking at another potential running mate, and, we have to say, wethinks he will be the one.

Here are the words that Politico used to describe Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.):

  • 45
  • With a Southern lilt and a talent for raw politics
  • one of the nation’s most prominent Jewish Republicans
  • a prolific fundraiser for the campaign
  • A young fiscal conservative
  • would be an unconventional choice at a time when McCain is looking to add excitement to his campaign.

hey, youth & fiscal conservatism... that could well be a winning combo. The Jewish angle would offer a McCain ticket the possibility of a "first" and be red meat for the neo-cons, sweetening prospects, in their minds at least, for bomb-bomb-bomb-bombing Iran.

Plus, for the religious conservatives, it means, if nothing else, that he's not a Mormon.
