On Saturday, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney announced at a Virginia rally that his running mate is seven-term congressman from Wisconsin Paul Ryan.Rabbi David Wolpe of Sinai Temple in Los Angeles penned the following poem about the the process to select one.
Writes Wolpe:
Vetting valentines to share our lives
We don’t call out the FBI;
But then, we need not ask our mates
“Can you lead the free world if I die?”
Vetting veeps, like counting sheeps
Proves a soporific task
But are there closet skeletons?
You won’t know if you do not ask.
At last it’s done; we’ve got our teams
Now comes the onrushing attack
On Medicare and Medicaid.
And for the losers -- Medavac.
