Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

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?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

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....

Art Crawl!!!

McCain preferred to vet AFTER choosing.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Or that Maverick McCain wanted everyone chattering about inane crap instead of actual policy.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

There was the theory that she would decline during the convention and then ANYONE who gets picked after would look fantastic by comparison.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

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?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Maybe he secretly wants to lose.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Mavericks make snap decisions, often when they're angry.

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.

Might as well get the best?
