Cordelia ,'Beneath You'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I think if I was an Alaskan, I would also be a bit put out about the take that Palin and her family are typical Alaskans. "We Alaskans. We kill moose. We eat of the mooseburger. We have lots of sex and make babies."
Someone made a little clip of Bullwinkle J. Moose speaking out against Palin. For her stance on abortion.
Cracked me up....
I just don't get how a large political campaign with an army of supposedly savvy PR people all got together and said, "Hey, let's hire the pretty lady with the intelligent design and the stupid!"
Seriously? I mean, you're running for president, you've hired assloads of handlers and such. And this happened? Seriously?

McCain is a maverick. Mavericks don't need all this sissy "vetting" crap. Mavericks make snap decisions, often when they're angry.
But seriously, it appears McCain did virtually no vetting of Palin....
McCain preferred to vet AFTER choosing.

McCain wrapped up the nomination in February. He's had six months to make his decision.
And the McCain/Palin campaign has yet to comment about Palin's ties to the Alaskan Independence Party.
The McCain campaign has been hitting Obama about his lack of experience, and has also been making insinuations about his patriotism. And this is his choice to be VP?

Maybe he secretly wants to lose.

Mavericks pull last-minute choices out of their asses when the hoop-de-hoodles threaten a floor fight over their preferred choices:
As word leaked out that Mr. McCain was seriously considering the men, the campaign was bombarded by outrage from influential conservatives who predicted an explosive floor fight at the convention and vowed rejection of Mr. Ridge or Mr. Lieberman by the delegates. >[link]
He's also hired the very person who slandered his family during the 2000 election.
