Sarah ******* Palin? Follow

You just found out their dastardly plan!

This is really, really bad. For Republicans.

For a lot of people outside the state of Alaska, our first introduction to Paulin came just a few weeks ago when we heard that she was under investigation for harassing an ex-brother-in-law. Like, getting him fired harassing.

I really think their veep selection process went something like this last week:

Aides: *passing around packets* Okay, so we're back to the long list. Most of these are well known, some of them were with you in the primary, but there's some dark horses in here that might be interesting to consider.

McCain: *yawn* I still don't see what was wrong with Romney. I'm a POW, he has money, we're the best the Republicans can offer together . . . This Jindal guy looks too foreign. Condi Rice is smarter than I am, I don't like that. . . . wait a minute, who is that?

Aides: Oh, that's Paulin. She'd be perfect except for that corruption --

McCain: I'll take her.

Aides: But sir, we just said, there's a corruption scandal brewing --

McCain: I want her. I'll take her. She can, uh, bring in the women vote. And Cindy is getting old -- I mean, needs a friend -- I mean, she'll bring in the women vote. She's young, pro-life, popular, pretty, has kids even cuter than those Obama brats . . . what is that phrase I've heard on the Internets? Milf?

Aides: *exchange nervous glances* Sir, that's not a term you can use to describe a lady. No matter how attractive she is. And as we said, there's the matter of the investigation --

McCain: I was a POW and I want this milf for my Vice President.

Brilliant move. Gives the pro-Hellbeast women someone to vote for, she's against corruption in that she has championed against Ted Stevens, she's pro-life, pro-guns, fiscally conservative, and she has more experience than the Black Neo.

Certainly it is risky, but overall, she already is doing a masterful job by taking attention away from the Obama campaign the very day after their love-fest.

And if she gets whooped up on in the debates? Who cares? It's the vice presidency-- nobody votes for a ticket strictly on that basis.

Wrong. As a Republican, and a HUGE supporter of McCain, I can honestly say this is bad. Many undecided and independant voters will look at Palin and say she is not ready to lead the country if McCain passes in office. FFS, I just asked myself the same question.

ETA: I do like her, she has many of the same ideals I have but, when it comes to being President, experience is everything (one of the reasons Obama picked Biden).

I'd really, really like to hear Geraldine Ferraro's opinion on this.

I expect it's something along the lines of, "Oh for ****'s sakes . . "

Slate magazine has this to say about her...

So you're admitting she's far more qualified than McCain? Awesome By any standards. I suppose it's larger than most African villages.

As I said earlier, Obama's state senate district was 32x larger than Palin's little village.

Read for comprehension please. Biden removes any questions about being Obama being inexperienced.

If Obama dies, Biden is a proven leader.

If McCain dies, the country is left with a MILF.

AND, last time I checked neither Obama or Biden has the Grim Reaper standing beside them.

Speaking of Slate, how does Totem feel about her kids' names?

Remember Reagan and the fact that he was our president while he had Alzheimer's? He was younger than McCain is when he was elected president. Also, Palin reminds me of Elle Woods.
