Breaking news! John McCain (donate here) has picked Palin as his VP.

This is a brave choice.  He was never the most popular of the Pythons, and spent most of his time in the shadow of John Cleese and Eric Idle.  Though, to some extent, I always did prefer him over Idle.

Here are some of Palin’s greatest achievements:
Arguing government against a King:

Palin debating Biden:

Years of economic experience:

In any event, I’m looking forward to seeing his new BBC documentary, Around the US with an Old Fart, once this election is over.  Though I don’t think he’s actually allowed to run for VP, seeing as he wasn’t born in the US.  Gilliam would have been an acceptable choice.

Oh well, live and learn.
