The thing about flip-flops is…they’re actually quite comfortable

Really. You can’t beat flip-flops. Very comfortable. Plenty of room for movement, you see. Like, for example, if you get stuck in the mud, in a worst-case scenario, you can actually pull your foot out of the flip-flop, rather than getting yourself entrenched in one position. I’d rather have options like that with my footwear. Or my gubernatorial candidates. Y’see, Asa, while I respect your credentials, all of your campaign trail blithering about how Mike Beebe “flip-flops” on the issues makes me realize that I’d rather have someone in office who’s capable of realizing that he needs to reassess his thinking and his course of action, rather than pointing in one direction and staying that course, even if it leads straight to hell. Not that I’m implying that anyone else in Mr. Hutchinson’s party would be capable of doing such a thing, nor would I wish to insult anyone’s intelligence by implying that an informed modern American electorate would put such a person in office and keep them there. That would be the very height of silliness.
Beebe for Governor of Arkansas in ’06. Because sometimes, so-called “flip-flops” are pretty comfortable.
Tomorrow: let’s talk sandals.
