Some blowhard on FOXNews said that as far as he's concerned anyone with 5 kids can be Vice President.

Wow! I'm qualified. I have five kids, my youngest has a chromosome disorder which made him moderately/severely mentally retarded, plus he is autistic. I did the PTA thing too. Actually president of the PTA for a couple years. And some members of my family like to drink! On the other hand: I'm a stay-at-home mom that is more like a hard working sled-dog than a pitbull. I don't hunt big game trophies, though I've killed and eaten squirrels and done trap shooting. I'm a pro-choice, pro-dirty books-- if that's our cuppa, non-church going ex-Catholic agnostic (pretty much atheiest)My husband does business in China, (and loves his country.) I've traveled to several foreign countries. We own more than one house. My grandchildren came after my daughters had been married a few years but though we would have been disappointed, had they become pregnant at 17 or 18, we would have welcomed the grandbaby if they had decided (with our help) the to have the child. I'm somewhat ashamed to say--I would do just about anything to keep my oldest son out of Iraq.
The thought of me potentially leading the free world is frightening! HA!
