What did Joe Biden get to do last evening , besides walk out and wave and enjoy the moment with his family ?

What a crazy , delusional , self-centered and self-aggrandizing jerkoff she truly is…………..

“All lipstick, no caribou.” I like that one. :)

In his recent New York Times Magazine piece on the McCain campaign, Robert Draper reveled that Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) pick of Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) “may have been even more impulsive than initially thought.”

Is there a typo here? Should it be “Robert Draper reveled”, meaning he took great delight at the consequences of McCain’s impulsive pick, or should it be “Robert Draper revealed”, meaning he’s exposing to the world that McCain was too impulsive? When a typo can change the meaning, I like to ask. Thanks.

I agree it was a need ‘publicity stunt’ for a campaign in the doldrums.
What they failed to take into her account was her blind ambition–because all they vetted her for was her sex and evangelical bona-fides.
She was supposed to be the ’supportive wife’.
Instead McCain for a while was the supporting ‘husband’.

And being so ambitious. so egotistical and so ignorant she thought her perky persona would get her into the White House.
No need to consider anyone else but herself.
That’s why they had to reign her in, and then they couldn;t use her. She was the maverick.

Picking somebody predictable, like Mitt Romney, wouldn’t cut it. The media would merely yawn collectively. No, McCain needed to spend this chip (the biggest in his pocket) on something that would leave America slack-jawed. Something that would dominate the next several news cycles. Something that would suck all the wind out of Obama’s sails.

He did it by picking Palin. It worked. The afterglow of Obama’s speech was cut short as the media all scrambled to the shiny object that was Palin. She became a media star overnight. Exactly as planned.

Only problem is that now McCain was stuck with her. He could no longer hammer Obama on his “lack of experience” without looking like a fool (not that it stopped him). He was put into the unenviable position of defending her as she became more and more of an embarrassment to the campaign.

Sarah and the First Dude will be winging their way back to Alaska soon. And I predict that McCain won’t be sorry to seen them go.

Alaska has become the refrigerator with the burnt out light bulb that someone finally replaced.
All the old, moldy and corrupt containers of leftovers are brought to the light of day, and will get tossed.
Ted Stevens, Don Young, VECO, Sarah Palin… who knows who else.

Thank you, Mr. Schmidt, for changing the light bulb.

To calk the Palin choice a mistake would be to call the vital evangelical base a mistake.
The nativist camp would be a “mistake”.

Without them there would be no GOP, and the demographic trends show that their base isn’t getting any bigger.

Moving on…
