The seven-page questionnaire being sent to those seeking high-ranking positions in the Obama administration is being called "considerably more detailed than we had to fill out" by a former Clinton aide and "invasive" by other Washington insiders.
Among the 63 questions – some of which have multiple parts – are queries about gun ownership (of you and your family), Internet aliases, embarrassing experiences at work and embarrassing family members (above).
Thinking of applying? Keep this in mind: your drunk, gun-owning cousin who can't get his shit together is going to be loyal to you far longer than the US government.
Tonight, it's the debate you've all been kinda milling around and expecting for a few weeks now. Biden-Palin—yahoo!
In anticipation of the smackdown, here's an open thread to post questions you wish the candidates would answer. It's doubtful any of them will be asked this evening, but the exercise should be cathartic.
We'll begin: Mrs Palin, is it more thrilling to hunt wolves or old witches?
Charlie Gibson will be the first reporter logging official face time with Sarah Palin since her nomination as Republican VP only thirteen days ago. What could they possibly have to talk about?
Luckily, upstanding citizen that he is, JackShaf moved on from his all-important campaign of boycotting the DNC to compile a list of questions Charlie Gibson should ask Sarah Palin at the undisclosed time of the interview.
Unfortunately, Shafer's list reads like a duplicate of the Anchorage Daily News itemization of questions that the publication never received Palin's answer on. Blah blah Senator Ted Stevens accepted bribes, do you still support hi*sssnooooze*.
So what are some fun but totally not-happening questions that Gibson could use to spice up the interview?
New rumor: George Clooney dumped cocktail waitress girlfriend Sarah Larson because she got a breast augmentation. If this is indeed the case, was Clooney's reaction acceptable? We say yes, because the surgery reveals an insecurity that can be hell on relationships. What do you think?
