McCain picks Palin

“Obama's Isle

By Comrade Tovarich

Inspired by the Ballad of Gilligan's Island by George Wyle and Sherwood Shwartz


Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
A tale of a frightful trip
That started from Chicago's port
The One a political blip.

The Dean was a mighty doctor man,
Billary brave and sure.
Our candidates set sail that day
For a four year rule, a four year rule.

Party unity started getting rough,
Race and sex lines were crossed,
If not for the backing of the biased press,
The Party could be lost, the Party could be lost.

The winner came down to Hope and Change, an inexperienced profile
That's Obama
Joe Biden, too,
The "First Black Pres" and his wife,
The movie stars
Rev' 'Em Wright and Ayers, man,
Here on "Obama's Isle."

So this is the tale of today's Dems,
They were a cinch back before Palin's time,
They'll have to make the best of things,
It's now a real climb.

Obama and stale Biden, too,
Will do their very best,
To make voters uncomfortable.
Topics: despair and hopelessness.

No phone, no lights, no motor cars,
Not a single luxury,
For everyone but Al Gore,
Thank Bush's non-Green economy.

So join us here each week, comrades.
You're sure to get a smile,
From truths, justice, and throw-aways (under buses),
Here on "Obama's Isle."”

“I think the goober has lost his mind.”

“Studies show that casual sex is a number one issue among Democrat voters. Democrats think that casual sex with strangers is more important than
- Energy
- Economy
- National Security

The scientific consensus is clear: while Republicans spread freedom and democracy, Democrats spread sexually transmitted diseases.”

McCain camp trying to scapegoat Palin
Roger Simon

John McCain's campaign is looking for a scapegoat. It is looking for someone to blame if McCain loses on Tuesday.

And it has decided on Sarah Palin.

In recent days, a McCain �adviser� told Dana Bash of CNN: �She is a diva. She takes no advice from anyone.�

Imagine not taking advice from the geniuses at the McCain campaign. What could Palin be thinking?

Also, a �top McCain adviser� told Mike Allen of Politico that Palin is �a whack job.�

Maybe she is. But who chose to put this �whack job� on the ticket? Wasn�t it John McCain? And wasn�t it his first presidential-level decision?

And if you are a 72-year-old presidential candidate, wouldn�t you expect that your running mate�s fitness for high office would come under a little extra scrutiny? And, therefore, wouldn�t you make your selection with care? (To say nothing about caring about the future of the nation?)

McCain didn�t seem to care that much. McCain admitted recently on national TV that he �didn�t know her well at all� before he chose Palin.

But why not? Why didn�t he get to know her better before he made his choice?

It�s not like he was rushed. McCain wrapped up the Republican nomination in early March. He didn�t announce his choice for a running mate until late August.

Wasn�t that enough time for McCain to get to know Palin? Wasn�t that enough time for his crackerjack �vetters� to investigate Palin�s strengths and weaknesses, check through records and published accounts, talk to a few people, and learn that she was not only a diva but a whack job diva?

But McCain picked her anyway. He wanted to close the �enthusiasm gap� between himself and Barack Obama. He wanted to inject a little adrenaline into the Republican National Convention. He wanted to goose up the Republican base.

And so he chose Palin. Is she really a diva and a whack job? Could be. There are quite a few in politics. (And a few in journalism, too, though in journalism they are called �columnists.�)

As proof that she is, McCain aides now say Palin is �going rogue� and straying from their script. Wow. What a condemnation. McCain sticks to the script. How well is he doing?

In truth, Palin�s real problem is not her personality or whether she takes orders well. Her real problem is that neither she nor McCain can make a credible case that Palin is ready to assume the presidency should she need to.

And that undercuts McCain�s entire campaign.

This was the deal McCain made with the devil. In exchange for energizing his base by picking Palin, he surrendered his chief selling point: that he was better prepared to run the nation in time of crisis, whether it be economic, an attack by terrorists or, as he has been talking about in recent days, fending off a nuclear war.

�The next president won�t have time to get used to the office,� McCain told a crowd in Miami on Wednesday. �I�ve been tested, my friends, I�ve been tested.�

But has Sarah Palin?

I don�t believe running mates win or lose elections, though some believe they can be a drag on the ticket. Lee Atwater, who was George H.W. Bush�s campaign manager in 1988, told me that Dan Quayle cost the ticket 2 to 3 percentage points. But Bush won the election by 7.8 percentage points.

So, in Atwater�s opinion, Bush survived his bad choice by winning the election on his own.

McCain could do the same thing. But his campaign�s bad decisions have not stopped with Sarah Palin. It has made a series of questionable calls, including making Joe the Plumber the embodiment of the campaign.

Are voters really expected to warmly embrace an (unlicensed) plumber who owes back taxes and complains about the possibility of making a quarter million dollars a year?

And did McCain�s aides really believe so little in John McCain�s own likability that they thought Joe the Plumber would be more likable?

Apparently so. Which is sad.

We in the press make too much of running mates and staff and talking points and all the rest of the hubbub that accompanies a campaign.

In the end, it comes down to two candidates slugging it out.

Either McCain pulls off a victory in the last round or he doesn�t.

And if he doesn�t, he has nobody to blame but himself.”

Palin spent how many tens of thousands in state funds to drag the kids around with her?

“Her real problem is that neither she nor McCain can make a credible case that Palin is ready to assume the presidency should she need to.

With the French of all people recently calling Barack's foreign policy positions "childish" and uninformed, I'd say it's interesting that the press is still focusing on Palin's credentials.”

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - A report has cleared Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin of ethics violations in the firing of her public safety commissioner.
Released Monday, the report says there is no probable cause to believe Palin or any other state official violated the Alaska Executive Ethics Act in connection with the firing. The report was prepared by Timothy Petumenos, an independent counsel for the Alaska Personnel Board.

“man, she really got under your skin, didn't she. Obsess much?”

“That's one less incompetent Republican putting their ego before the good of the nation. � The Flying Fickle Finger of Fate tapped her on the head and she didn't have the sense to say 'no'. � Her ego kicked in instead.

Consequently, she was the nail in McCain's coffin.

If she had become President.... � Well, we saw what happened last time (75% can see; the rest seem irreparably brain damaged).

“apparently. they hate them so bad that even after they have torn her down they have to keep stomping on her to make their point. typical of "the opinion of 1/2 of the population is worthless " liberals.

clearly she must be a huge threat or they would have given up on her by now. two more years until the campaign starts and we shall see...

What planet you on there Yogi - this is all GOP infighting - the 'liberals' are just laughing at it.”

“Attacking Palin is part of the �new era of bipartisanship� that Obama was advertising. Don�t worry, after the inauguration, they�ll institute five-minute hates so everyone can join in.

And remember: Barack Obama was never a Muslim, and we�ve always been at war with Eastasia.

Alaska could put her in the Senate out of pity. � We're still waiting on the outcome of the Stevens debacle. � Hell, South Carolina kept re-electing Strom Thurmond and he hadn't composed a complete sentence since '88.... � so we know how high THAT bar is set.



We already know who was jerking off to the TV (besides the people who said so on this thread).

Remember the Quote Of The Day from 11-3? � It's a Classic:

I'm sure I'm not the only male in America who, when Palin dropped her first wink,
sat up a little straighter on the couch and said, "Hey, I think she just winked at me."
And her smile. By the end, when she clearly knew she was doing well, it was so
sparkling it was almost mesmerizing. It sent little starbursts through the screen
and ricocheting around the living rooms of America.
