Doncha wish your girlfriend was hot like the governor's?

I am sick, coughing up both lungs, feverish, and wiped out. I should not even be online, let alone blogging. But I was surfing my favorite blogs, and nearly coughed myself into a coma from laughing so hard when I read Susie's latest post.

And I had to blog. I meant to blog about this a couple of weeks ago when I first heard about it, but life got in the way, so, well, I'm doing it now after being reminded by Susie.

So apparently the governor of Indiana, Mitch Daniels, was having a press conference about something or other. Someone's cell phone rang, I lovely little bell-like tinkle. Governor Daniel paused to give the unfortunate person a chance to turn the phone off, and then commented, "That's really quite a nice ringtone. Very pretty. Not like my daughter's...it's something like...what is that song?

"Oh yeah...Doncha wish your girlfriend was hot like me?"

The local news used the soundbite of the lyric as the teaser for the brief story. It was really something to hear the state's governor TALK like that. Scandal.

**Actually, I voted for Gov. Daniels, and think he's a cool guy...especially since he is very interested in possibly helping with the midwifery bill next year, since it, of course, did not get heard this year.
