Out: Mike Tyson. In: Willie Nelson.
This morning, Green Party candidate Roseanne Barr offered the VP slot to convicted rapist Mike Tyson. Yay, feminism! But this afternoon, her original favorite reconsidered and decided to join her ticket. (Not that Roseanne has the Party’s nomination yet, but hey, no time like the present!)
@TheRealRoseanne I would be happy to run w u After thinking about it awhile it kept sounding better Are u still interested? Love, Willie

We hope Mike Tyson takes rejection okay. We’d wear ear muffs while breaking the news to him.
UPDATE:
This is rich. After Twitchy brought this post to Willie Nelson’s attention by tweeting it to his Twitter handle, the singer had second thoughts:
@TheRealRoseanne I see u are speaking to some1 else regarding ur vp running mate I know whoever ur choice is they will be happy to serve w u
