My state of birth, Lousiana, certainly qualifies me for the Vice part of the job. From the decadent pleasures of New Orleans' various clubs and other haunts to the unparalleled corruption of its politics (Governors Huey "The Kingfish" Long and Edwin Edwards alone put punks like Palin to shame with the magnitude of their criminal ambitions), Louisiana lives up to the institutionalization of lawlessness that Dick Cheney brought to the White House. There's a public benefit to my sleze, too -- whatever I steal from the public would probably benefit crooks in Louisiana, whose economy could certainly use the boost after being neglected by the Feds in Katrina's wake. And if , unlike the present POTUS, my running mate turns out to actually be a hard working, competent commander in chief, I can fortify her or him with the best food and music on earth.
