Terry McAuliffe could sell shit to the zoo

Of all the characters in Hillary Clinton's failed presidential campaign, Terry McAuliffe was easily the most annoying. The dude would go on to TV and just wouldn't shut up. Mind you, being talkative could be a good thing if you have something truthful or interesting to say, but almost every word that came of this guy's mouth was utter bullshit.

Anyway, a few days ago it was revealed that McAuliffe would run for Governor of Virginia in 2010. Here was a particularly interesting part of the article:

Potential opponents dismiss him as a cynical Daddy Warbucks who has long plotted to buy himself a governorship — claiming he even mulled runs in his native New York and Florida, where his wife’s family lives.

McAuliffe’s pals dismiss such criticism and say his unique blend of charm and cash will prove irresistible.

“Terry could sell shit to the zoo,” explains longtime pal Paul Begala. “He’s the best salesman in the world.”

Well, he might be able to sell shit to a zoo, but he couldn't sell the Democratic party as the head of the DNC, and he couldn't sell his candidate, Hillary, over Barack Obama. Or as Kos says:

Terry McAuliffe can obviously sell shit to Paul Begala. He has a harder time selling it to people outside his circle of shit-buying friends.
