Blumberg News has reported that A.B. Culvahouse, Jr., the attorney in charge of vetting vice presidential candidates for John McCain, will perform the same service for Donald Trump's vice presidential nominees.
That will certainly prompt the late night comedy shows to bring out their Sarah Palin jokes. But, in Mr. Culvahouse's defense, he explained at the time that he though Gov. Palin had the potential to grow into the position. He rated her as "high risk/high gain." Well, some of those, you win; some you lose.
It might even be good that the same person is doing it, because he certainly wouldn't want to repeat that debacle twice in a row -- like picking Newt Gingrich, who spent last week promoting his availability and, shall we say, his desperation for the job.
Trump's campaign told MSNBC that the campaign would require, among other documents, the potential nominees' tax returns. When asked about that, in view of Trump's own refusal to release his, the reply was: "Trump's not running for vice president."
Hmmm. Does anybody ever vet the PRESIDENTIAL nominees? I'm just asking.
