Could Patty Murray be Obama's VP?
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer ^ | June 9, 2008 | Monica Guzman

In case you missed it ... the P-I's politics blog has posted on an online rumor: Open Left reported last week that Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA), an early supporter of Hillary Clinton, has been approached as a possible vice presidential running mate for Sen. Barack Obama.

Open Left cites a "trusted inside source" and writes:

Murray was first elected to the Senate in Washington State in 1992, the "year of the woman" in the U.S. Senate. Murray would be a reinforcing pick for Barack Obama in that she is one of the few sitting Senators or Governors who opposed the Iraq war from the start, voting against the Authorization for the Use of Military Force against Iraq. back in October of 2002. Murray also mirrors Obama in that, before her career in electoral politics, she was a citizen activist and community organizer on environmental and educational issues.

Yeah, Patty’d make a great VP. She has staffers to advise her when she signs anything. “Remember, your name has two T’s and two R’s, Senator.”

Speaking of Rezko, I hear he was found guilty on a number of counts in his trial. The MSM virtually ignored his trial though.

used her cash from real networks to buy her Senate seat, and has been a disgrace ever since...

No, that's our other idiot Senator, Cantwell.

Murray has been declared "least intelligent Senator" by the group that does that. She ran as the "Mom in tennis shoes" and was also known as Osama Mama for explaining that Bin Laden had support in the Arab world because of his good works, building hospitals and day care centers...and that we were too ignorant to know that.

Oh, she's a work, all right.

Patty Murray would have to speak in front of large numbers of people...and that would expose her 82 IQ.

I suspect this to be a diversion by the Obmam campaign:)

I think we'll see a couple of diversion like this until he selects Hillary!

Interesting. Patty Murray has a nickname on FreeRepublic. It's "Osama Mama" (after her comment that Osama bin Laden couldn't be all that bad because he was providing day care to the poor in Afghanistan).

Wouldn't that would be great? Obama and Osama Mama
