In a move to appeal to the women vote and appear more hip, Presidential candidate John McCain announced his running mate today. His nomination: Hello Kitty.

“It makes perfect sense, and is a logical choice” said Lady Redundant Woman, a top advisor of the McCain campaign. “Hello Kitty has a lot of appeal to the women voters, and females will like her too.”

It is rumored that McCain originally considered his old high school buddy, Grogg the Caveman, as his running mate. But that choice was quickly shot down when McCain realized Grogg and his people have been extinct for thousands of years. His next choice was another old friend, Julius Caesar. Advisors recommended Hello Kitty as the more logical choice since they didn’t want to break the news to McCain about Caesar's tragic death.

In other news, John McCain is old.

Hello Kitty was unavailable for comment.
