heidi(I admit - I will be generalizing in the next few paragraphs. You are forewarned.)
Why is it that Republicans think voting for Mike Ditka (who has no foreign policy experience, or domestic for that matter) into the Senate is a Good Thing, but that Edwards, who has at least served on the Senate Intelligence Committee, is unqualified to be Vice President?
Yes, I know there are 100 senators, and only one vice-president. And yes, I know that the vice-president has to be qualified to *be* president. And yes, I know that comparing Edwards to Bush's experience level on foreign policy pre-his own assumption of the office of the president is kind of icky.
But we're not talking about actualities. We're talking about the same group of people who on one hand say Yay Ditka and on the other hand say Unqualified Edwards.
Is there any linear thinking in that?
