Golden Girl Makes V.P. Short List

EXCLUSIVE: Betty White on Short List for V.P 

Middle Finger News Service- Insiders in the Romney campaign, (who shall remain anonymous) tells us that Mitt Romney has chosen America's most favorite elderly white-haired comedienne Betty White to be on the short list as his running mate. 

Romney and White Talk Politics over Cream Cake
 Sources told us:
"We felt that it was important for Mitt to pick an individual who would generate a favorable buzz and a limited amount of controversy, and frankly I think he's done that. After all, is there anyone out there who isn't a fan of Betty White these days? She's adorable and  Mitt thinks she'll make a great Vice President. Not only that, but if Betty White were to make a bizarre or  inappropriate statement, like telling the media where to get off, people will laugh and cheer instead of cringing and holding their breath the way they do whenever Joe Biden opens his mouth."
The source noted that it will not be easy to get White on board as VP. The actress's career has been experiencing a resurgence since the early years of 2000; she has been in talks to host another upcoming episode of Saturday Night Live. As one adviser told us, the general consensus on both sides of the aisle is that Betty White is more likable than Sarah Palin and also better at reading cue-cards, and next to Biden would sound like an intellectual giant. 

But as one Romney critic pointed out:
"Betty White is also 90 years old and a registered Democrat. But I guess after Obama's performance, why would she want to be anymore?"
What she would bring to the ticket remains to be seen, and the fact her name is 'White' won't set well with some minority voters. 
"If Mitt wants Betty White for VP, he was going to get her if he can. Every time we voiced our reservations, he just starts quoting that muffin sketch she did on Saturday Night Live that everyone loves."
"Betty White's no politician, but she's a ballsy Lady and got her head on straight, more or less. If Romney wants a candidate who could be a flat-out total nightmare, I suppose he could go with Ann Coulter ."

  1. She'd be better than some of the names I've heard the press bandy about.
