Is August the New April?
There are no words to describe how cynical and insulting is the selection of Sarah Palin for McCain's VP. The best I can do is — WTF?
But what astounds me more than the selection itself is the Republican spin that Palin has foreign policy experience because her state of Alaska is, you know, so close to Russia.
W-T-F?
Washington Monthly cites three examples of this moronic, pathetic nonsense — by Fox News' Steve Doocy, Cindy McCain, and U.S. News' Michael Barone.
Do they think Americans are all idiots? Wait — don't answer that. We did vote for George Bush. Twice.
And then Lindsay Graham contributed this desperate leap of logic to "prove" that Palin is ready to go eyeball-to-eyeball with the Russians:
If you can take on Ted Stevens and that crowd in Alaska, you can handle the Russians.
I don't care what the polls say. The only way Obama loses this election is if he's outed as a pedophile or if he says something really, really, dumb, like the ludicrous claims above.
Sarah Palin — WTF. I keep waiting for McCain to step out on stage, grinning from ear to ear, and say — My friends, April Fools!
Update: Add McCain himself to the list of clowns pushing the Alaska-is-next-to-Russia nonsense.
