Hey folks, remember the DUmpster promulgated what's called the "Sarah Palin rule" some months ago.
It's in the rules and links thread here in the DUmpster.
I thought for sure our esteemed colleague Tucker would be the first to take advantage of this most-excellent new rule--he read it, and we discussed it--but perhaps Tucker's doing some strategic waiting, before using it.
Nothing wrong with that.
But I'm a little impatient, so I'll make the first move.

You know, the primitives have questioned the abilities of both Richard Cheney, because of his bad heart, and Chris Christie, because of his weight, to govern, should they be elected into some office.
The primitives--and remember, the big guy's a primitive too--have oftentimes preached that a person in failing or otherwise bad health shouldn't hold elected positions.
Okay, fine. I can go along with that, if the rules were applied the same on both sides of the aisle.
We all know Omaha Steve is a, uh, rather big guy, a really large guy.
He sleeps with the assistance of one of those machines that pumps oxygen into one as one slumbers.
That's a pretty good indicator of really bad, probably failing, health.
The big guy started working for the waterworks five years ago, and almost immediately got hurt. And he's been hurt several times since. In fact, his whole five years with the waterworks, he's had to take considerable time off work, and the taxpayers of Omaha have spent considerable money on his medical bills.
He's not in great shape.
It'd probably be better for the big guy to concentrate on losing a couple of hundred pounds first, so as to be in shape to govern.
