Evan Bayh for VP? Oh. My. God. No.

I know, I know.  Seems a bit underhanded to actually post a picture of the possible Democratic VP pick.  But my goodness, just looking at the picture induces crashing waves of fatigue and sleepiness. 

This is a boring human being.

A vastly boring human being.

A creature of such lifelessness that he produces narcolepsy in all listeners whenever he speaks.

A person of such profound dryness that flood zones beg him to show up.

A man who couldn't produce an exciting moment if he was jolted with two-million volts.

The sun would turn to a cold, lifeless clot of fused metal and rock if he got too close.

The makers of Ambien have attempted to block his speeches as a part of a restraint of trade injunction.

So, naturally, the Democrats are flirting with this man as the possible running-mate for Barack Obama.  Yep, clearly they think that the best way to balance the ticket is to put the world's most horrifying dull human being on the ticket. 

On top of this - oh, yes, it gets even better - yep, he is a Clintonite of long standing, a creature of the triangulation and hedging, of never really quite committing to anything, and certainly will never promote anything that even remotely resembles progressivism. 

He bores the pants off of me. 

People vote for him because as they slept during his speeches they dreamed that he was a good candidate. 

I would rather read 19th century German theology.

Yep, this is who we, as Democrats, are going to have foisted off us.  Mr. White Bread.  Mr. Slippery Pot Pie.  Mr. Luby's.  Splendid.  What a great choice.  No, really, I am...zzzzzzzzzz

Does this mean you don't like him?

Push Susan Collins for the job.

Dear Canossa,

You are so spot on. Snooooooring.

Love,

Someone who lives in Indiana and has to hear more than a fair share of Bayh's speeches

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I found your article via Talking Points Memo, so great going! I'm hoping against hope (how ironic?) that the Obama campaign just has Bayh's name on their list to throw people off.
