Put my vote in the “Oooh yeah!!” box.

Now if Condi were to throw off the State Department wimpiness, come out swinging (punches, not the “other”) like Xena the Warrior Princess, giving tough aggressive speeches, she can win back the Right Wing.

They (and I) would fall in love with her again.

Of course she hasn’t been offered the position yet, however, it remains an interesting prospective. The story is significant because it represents a shift from serious consideration of Condoleezza Rice to a serious consideration by Condoleezza Rice for the office of Vice President. Her answer to the question about considering the Vice Presidency was sophisticatedly elusive while she has been forthright about her desire to redefine her legacy. Another decade of public service at the highest levels could afford her the opportunity to do that.

Advancing the absurd as implausible…..it’s a comedy approach advanced my Monty Python, etc. - apparently it didn’t go over well. Atleast I don’t think blogs are real news….

gerryf,

You’re right. We are news sources for many. But I’d say 99% of our readers know that April 1st is the one day where we can make stuff up and not be nailed to the wall for it. If I were to do this on any other day, I could see your point, but I think you made my point for me when you said we weren’t CNN.com.

mw,

I know it is a blog, but the distinction between “news” sites and blogs sailed long ago. Does Donklephant and others of its ilk get the same weight as cnn.com? No. But they are nevertheless a news source to many.

BTW–don’t rule out the Condi for VP thing…Ladbrokes has it 14-2 and Betfair has it 29/5 that she will be the eventual choice

And that folks, is how you pull an April Fool’s joke. It’s all about plausibility.

However, in Malkin’s case, it just proves she IS a joke, and how ironic on a day like this.

A couple heartbeats? You had me for five solid minutes. It was worse because I had to reread that lackluster MSNBC story four times to be sure it was a joke.

McCain trumps the first black man vs first woman issue with the first black, first woman, first lesbian pick.

April Fool’s Day jokes kind of undermine the credibility of a “news” site….
