We're On A Moose-sion From God

Moose Lady apparently thought the big guy upstairs wanted her to run for the GOP ticket.  It was really Steve Schmidt, and even he has second thoughts about it, mainly because his choice of Joe F'ckin Lieberman leaked and could have ruined his campaign.  Instead, Johnny Volcano turned to Moose Lady and it did ruin his campaign.

Sarah Palin believed that Sen. John McCain chose her to be his running mate in the 2008 presidential race because of "God's plan," according to a top political strategist in the Arizona Republican's campaign.

In an interview with the CBS news magazine "60 Minutes," Steve Schmidt described Palin as "very calm -- nonplussed" after McCain met with her at his Arizona ranch just before putting her on the Republican ticket. McCain had planned to name Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman (I-Conn.) as his choice until word leaked, sparking what Schmidt called political blowback over selecting the 2000 Democratic vice presidential nominee.

Schmidt, McCain's chief campaign adviser, said he asked Palin about her serenity in the face of becoming "one of the most famous people in the world." He quoted her as saying, "It's God's plan." Palin has not ruled out a run for the presidency.

God has a hell of a sense of humor, what with platypi, flesh-eating bacteria, and political campaigns. Is it still God's plan when you lose?

[UPDATE 1:40 PM] Speaking of your standard deific sense of humor, Moose Lady has just signed a mutli-year deal with FOX.
