Sam Nunn as a possible VP candidate?

Let's hope and pray that John Kerry isn't crazy enough to seriously be considering Sam Nunn, the creator of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell", as his running mate. There'd been some speculation over the past few weeks that Nunn might make a good candidate - strong on defense, conservative Democrat, southerner. The other adjective that describes Nunn, that Kerry may have forgotten about, is "f*cking bigot." Just a few short weeks ago, the San Jose Mercury News reports that Nunn was definitely being considered as at least a possibility. Though, fortunately, only a few days ago Nunn said he likely wasn't interested in the VP position (of course, he might change his mind if asked).

Sam Nunn, you'll recall, is the jerk who created the entire Don't Ask, Don't Tell fiasco. He's the homophobe who dragged Senators to submarines to show them how gay men would molest their fellow bunk mates and shower mates because they'd be iving in such close quarters, and apparently, gay men are just that way. The man is a homophobe among homophobes. He is responsible for demonizing gays and lesbians for months before a nationwide audience and perpetuating, and codifying, discrimination against our servicemembers, people who we all supposedly now love. In a nutshell: We hate her.

Hopefully Kerry is smart enough to realize that picking someone as polarizing as Nunn is not the way to unify the country against the Bushies.
