Chet: Just the Name Alone Sounds Very, Um, Vice-Presidential?

Central Texas’s own Chet Edwards

So, yeah, everyone’s suddenly thinking that maybe, just maybe, Barack Obama’s going to announce Congressman Chet Edwards as his running mate, maybe as early as this afternoon — and if it’s on Fox, it must be true! To which Gawker notes this very funny hypothetical concerning the “totally obscure conservative Texas congressman,” heh: “Yes, of course. Because this is the perfect season to roll out those OBAMA/EDWARDS lawn signs, right? Jesus Christ.” No, he’s John McCain’s running mate. –Robert Wilonsky
