A Lady by the name of...

Sarah Palin, current Governor of Alaska, has been selected by John McCain to run as VP on the Republican ticket.

A splendid pick, I think.

Respond immediately, all of you.

A splendid pick to win the election or a splendid pick as in "a good choice to take over as President of our United States should something unfortunate befall John McCain"?

I thought you would have trashed the pick, quite honestly....unless you pick my first reason.

edit: Well I just read most of this thread and I guess I gave you too much credit. As always....the hive mind is ruling. Clocker has you handled though. With the glut of material out there, it's too easy.

As a side note: I must say with this Sarah Palin pick, it is like some Twilight Zone shit...first the pick itself, then hearing all these Republican party goers talk as if it's great for the country. It's like everyone at the RNC was told what to say in advance and actually believe it.

Then there's no need to reply to you, given you and clocker are of the "hive" mind.

Insofar as there are (as always) more of you than there are of me, the more effective application of the word hive would be in reference to you and your ilk.

No original thoughts for you, eh?

Well, now that the initial brouhaha has died down a bit, the real fun begins.

We'll see how Sarah Baracuda (absent her ironically chosen Heart theme song) does out in the wild and at the debate.

Here's what our tabs are doing-

Sorry it's Foxnews.

Fuck no, not really.

umm the sum total of the allegations against us weekly are:

1) misleading headline
2) they didn't say how many years ago the DUI as
3) they didn't say why she abused her powers to get someone fired
4) the secession thing which republicans are officially denying

1 is a fair cop, tabloid headlines can be well dodge.
2 - get serious
3 get the fuck, Palin's sister told her that the sister's ex husband did something illegal and Palin abused her power to punish him?? Leaving that out doesn't strike me as biased, it makes her sound like even more of a fuckwit.
4 she blatantly has links to the independence party what with attending the convention and being a former member.

[clocker]

I think she's a Muslim too.

2 - Get "serious"?

You see no difference between a thing happening yesterday vs. 22 fucking years ago?

You get serious, Ian.

3 - There's documentation to be considered that you have omitted, but there's also an investigation taking place, which, if it were a democrat involved, you would claim as forestalling any conclusion.

4 - Blatantly false.

Her husband had links to a secession movement, which is still a constitutional right, though you'd never know it these days.

If you are going to comment from way over there, it behooves you to get things right.

[j2k4]

I think she's a Muslim too.

I'm sure that's being investigated, too.

[clocker]

No investigation necessary...it's enough that I think it.

Is Megan McCain's remark off limits?

"No one knows what war is like other than my family....period"

Would you rather talk about Chris Matthew's or Keith Olbermann's lack of bias.

BTW-

Does young Megan have her own show, or host political conventions.

No?

I Didn't think so.

It was just a young woman stating her view on her family in the military , I would n't beat her over it . Probably nervous being on tv , I know I'd be .
