Her? With him?

After our podcast conversation last night about Nikki Haley, I was curious enough to do a bit of Googling. I can't say I'm completely conversant with her record yet, but goodness, she's gorgeous. I wonder why she bothered to reply to those adultery charges in such a serious tone? Obviously, the most effective rebuttal would have been to hold up a photo of this creep who claims to have slept with her, wrinkle her nose delicately, and say one word: "Yuck."

That would have been a perfect response.
Claire, do you have any idea how much candidates pay consultants for moments like that? Pack up your stuff, put the cats in a crate, and move back to the US and make millions between now and November.

On the other hand, Rob and Claire, the put-together woman with the shlubby love interest/boyfriend/husband has become a TV and film staple. Can one overcome The Simpsons, Family Guy, The King of Queens, and Judd Apatow with a single word? Now that's a test of a politician's rhetorical skill.

James, Hank Hill's a catch, I tell you what.

How come none of us actual shlubby guys are ever objects of adoration in real life, except, of course, by our unique loving brides who somehow got to know the well-hidden Tom Selleck-clones lying beneath our skin? I think that all of such TV and film writers are actually shlubby guys indulging in out-of-control wishful thinking.
Er, except for Rob, of course (whew, almost blew it).
Re: Her? With him?
Millions, Rob? Man, you think? Because I can come up with stuff like that in my sleep. Where do I apply?
Re: Her? With him?
I exaggerate.
High thousands.
