The Ticket

With images like this AP photo of Barack Obama's speech in Berlin today, rumors are flying that Basil Fawlty is quickly rising on the list of potential running mates for John McCain.

Pros: He certainly brings youth and energy to the ticket. He is a small business owner. He understands how to give the "straight talk" McCain is so known for.

Cons: His height would definitely make McCain look short in stature by comparison, and his hiring of a bellhop from Spain would not sit well with the anti-illegal immigration base of the Republican Party.

Stay tuned...

Would McCain follow Basil's advice, given throughout this episode: "Don't mention the war"??
Actually, I like this idea. No one ever called Basil Fawlty boring, unlike some running mates who are being mentioned.

Clearly, another con.
