Sure, Tim Kaine has a number of objectionable policy positions that should make liberals oppose his selection as Barack Obama‘s VP but, on the other hand, ponies (via Jonathan Martin)!
Kaine, who took a leave-of-absence from Harvard Law School to work as a Catholic missionary in Honduras, made his comments about the media-created Obama VP list while visiting the carnival grounds on Chincoteague Island.
The Virginia governor is on the island with daughter Annella for the annual Chincoteague pony swim. […]
The conversation took place on the Chincoteague carnival grounds near the Tilt-a-Whirl. The governor did not get on the amusement ride but the governor’s daughter and Mason’s grandchildren did, according to Derrickson. […]
On Saturday, he is slated to go to a beach house at the Camp Pendleton military base in Virginia for a family vacation.
“It’s kind of like gubernatorial equivalent of Camp David,” said Skinner when asked to describe Kaine’s vacation destination.
That’s some crack reporting right there!
