So, I was reading around some other (as Tam calls 'em) Lenin-Red Spectrum blogs and their frothy, two minute hate sessions regarding Palin as McCain's choice.
One of the common threads seem to be about how the entire campaign is losing the wheels and that Palin will be "leaving to take care of her son" soon enough. Are these people insane AND stupid, or just insane?
To think Sarah Palin would up and leave because her daughter is pregnant and that she fired the police chief for a long string of reasons, one of which happens to involve a family member is to accept the ridiculous notion that the McCain campaign sat up on Thursday morning and said "Hey, I know we've not done any research at all on her, but what about that Palin chick from that state no one thinks about?"
Suuuure. McCain knew nothing about her daughter. They were blind sided that she was a mayor of some podunk town in the middle of frozen-fucking-nowhere. It was absolutely astonishing, while she had more executive experience than Obama, that the Obama camp would come out with attacks against her experience.
They never saw any of it coming and only though "What this campaign needs is estrogen!!!"
No, the reality is that John McCain is a politician first, and everything else comes second if at all. He wipes his ass only in the direction that will result in campaign points. Every last thing about Sarah Palin was well known in advance, and if you're dumb enough to think that he had no idea about any of this, then you really shouldn't be voting in the first place.
Idjits...
