If John McCain picked a Loaf of Bread, what would the media say?

[Sparkly]

I always thought it'd be funny to give somebody a Christmas present that was absurdly awful, and watch them having to say good things about it to be polite. I don't think I'd ever actually do that, but I can imagine it. ("Wow! I don't have one of these...")

The media's reaction to Palin yesterday is about the same. They are struggling to come up with something, anything, to say about this. It's about on the level of what they'd have to say if McCain had put a loaf of bread on the ticket.

"It's the first time Republicans have nominated a Loaf of Bread!"

"Loaf of Bread is not the typical Washington pick -- a real maverick!"

"People can really relate to a Loaf of Bread."

"Loaf of Bread doesn't have much experience, but could really add starch to this ticket!"

Etc...

:rofl:

1. This bread has high favorability ratings in the supermarket. People really

seem to like this bread.

[Mike Nelson]

2. FOX would praise

the cut, or type (rye, wheat...)

[derby378]

3. Depends on the loaf of bread...

FOX Noise correspondent: "John McCain has chosen a loaf of Mrs. Baird's Honey 7-Grain as his VP running mate. This loaf will sit will with most American voters, but is also diverse enough to bring something to the ticket. It's a little crusty, but it has a soft side, which should appeal to female voters in the western states."

4. Thanks for the laugh, Sparkly!

:rofl:

You're absolutely right. :hi:

5. it goes well with jelly

and suburan moms will love that.

[LeftishBrit]

6. 'This nominee is literally the best thing since sliced bread.'

[Cirque du So-What]

7. This cuts to the heart of the Repugs' VP choice

They harbor so much contempt for the American people that they will run a dry-drunk sociopath, a three-legged dog, or a loaf of bread for high office without a hint of irony.

8. Dependz on the kind of bread;

Focaccia, for example is well-rounded and tasty

[Nitrogenica]

9. Choosing the loaf of bread was a bold, delicious decision.

[Starry Messenger]

10. Freedom bread!

Not that unpatriotic French bread.

11. "This pick was totally unexpected!"

"This Loaf of Bread can really connect with the carbohydrate, common-man crowd. I mean, what do these people eat nearly every day? BREAD! It's sheer political brilliance on the part of McCain and the GOP yet again."

And then some stupid Dems would go on about how it's a "LILTE" (Loaf I'd Like To Eat), and the KKK would make sure everyone understood that this is a VITAL choice between good American WHITE bread and that scary brown bread that Other people eat.

12. He could have picked cake...

but the loaf of bread appeals to the heartland.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

13. "WOW! What confidence! He doesn't even need a sentient VP! A true hero!"

[jgraz]

14. One thing I know: If it was a female loaf, DUers would flood GDP defending it.

[TheDonkey]

15. This is a historic move! Loaf of Bread has taken Obama out of the picture.

[Arugula Latte]

16. "Bold choice!"

"It's a whole grain slam dunk!"

[DefenseLawyer]

17. A game changer!

The Maverick shakes things up again!

[MANative]

18. What a fresh choice! Unspoiled! nt

[underpants]

19. It shifts the focus, stops the Democrats momentum

of course the attention is now everyone looking at each other and saying :wtf:

[Berry Cool]

20. Consider all the places we find bread in the Bible...

The Book of Ecclesiastes says "Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days." The Jews ate unleavened bread before fleeing Egypt. Jesus fed the 5,000 with five loaves and two fishes. When he was starving, Satan tried to tempt him to turn stones into bread. He gave the disciples bread and said "Take, eat; this is my body." He called himself "the Bread of Life."

There simply could be no better choice to win the Judeo-Christian vote than a loaf of bread.

[crappyjazz]

21. If it was mouldy bread

you could say it had more experience ...

[Enrique]

22. the loaf is smarter than Dan Quayle
