The truth of the matter is...

that McCain could have picked Charles Manson as his running mate and the right-wing columnists and talk show hatejocks would have been slobbering over how great he is and how he's more qualified than Obama. ("It takes guts and character to carve a swastika into your forehead! More guts than Obama would ever dream of having!")

I have seen some lousy VP picks in my life, but Palin takes the cake. Eighteen months ago she was running a small town in Alaska (and running it into the ground, by all accounts). [CORRECTION! Eighteen months ago she was essentially unemployed!] Now she wants to be considered one of the Big Dogs. Just don't make her answer any questions in an uncontrolled environment, and don't expect her to know a damned thing about anything. Oh, and one other thing: this cocky, arrogant little troll lies through her teeth every time she opens her mouth. She's one of these Republicans who thinks we should be living in a theocracy instead of a republic. She doesn't know how hard the real believers in America are going to hit back at her.

I really wanted to beat McCain before he picked Palin. Now, I want to crush them. She's rallied a base all, right.

It's called the Democratic Party.
