Favre surprised, hurt that he’s not on McCain VP short list

NEW YORK, NY — A disgruntled Brett Favre told reporters Thursday morning that he is “a little surprised and hurt” that he’s not being seriously considered as a potential running mate for Republican presidential candidate John McCain.

“This is kind of a joke, no?” Favre asked. “Who out there has more name recognition than I do? And experience? I’ve got so much damn experience that I almost retired.”

Favre said he has contacted McCain’s campaigns several times asking to be considered for the role, but that he’s yet to hear back about a formal offer. Favre has, however, heard rumors that McCain does not believe Favre to have the political experience or acumen necessary to be the vice president.

The Republican presidential nominee also reportedly questions Favre’s loyalty, and is unnerved by Favre’s willingness to publicly consider accepting bribes, like the $25 million offered to him by the Packers to stay retired.

“It’s pretty ridiculous,” Favre said. “I would clearly be a helpful choice. Just think, if that offer for the $25 million is still on the table, we could use that for the campaign. And even without that added cash flow, I would help McCain carry Mississippi for sure!”

Favre said that he is pretty certain that any plan for McCain to ascend to the presidency would have to include him.

“I can bring New York to McCain too, now that I am their savior,” Favre said. “And Wisconsin also, which is a swing state. Well, on second thought, maybe not Wisconsin.”
