Look, I'm all for equal representation and equal opportunity for everyone. The US had a black president already, which is awesome, but I'm not thinking the next step here is to "recently convicted felon". Maybe try for a woman as president first?

Just saying.

There's a whole long LIST of things we can try long before settling on "first felon president."

  • First Woman President

  • First Openly Gay President

  • First Asian/Pacific Islander President

  • First Albino President

  • First Teenage President

  • First Werewolf President

  • First Teenage Werewolf President

  • First Robot President

  • First Robot Teenage Werewolf President

  • First Normal President

We could go on and on too.

Women, Asian and Pacific islander people are all normal. I propose a woman like that who is normal, who multiracial and LGBT. Usually mommas know what is best for the kids. So why not the ultimate love momma? You mess with us and we'll f-u up. You work with us and we'll love you to pieces. So I propose momma bear. Even better if she's well educated with a medical PhD and...but I mean, why not a hotel maid? My mom was a hotel maid and she's got the best heart and mind you'll ever meet. Don't need a PhD to be president.

Wasn't that Palin's shtick?
