Thanks.

From the column (to show how ridiculous he is):

Even ABC’s “Fact Checker” got in on the game, playing fast and loose with the “facts.” When Gov. Palin said that “many vice presidents throughout history” would answer “no” the question of whether they had met with foreign leaders. “Fact” Checker Jake Tapper had a problem with that and deemed it “false.” He cited George H. W. Bush, Mondale, Al Gore and Dan Quayle as examples of vice presidents with great foreign policy experience (a stretch, to say the least, in many of the above cases). Of course, Palin’s statement was true and applies categorically to over 80% of past vice presidents.

But it gets even more ridiculous. Gov. Palin has more foreign policy experience to become Vice President than then Gov. Bill Clinton had when he became President. The same can be said of many recent presidents, with the only exception since Nixon being George H. W. Bush. Before that, with the exception of Eisenhower one needs to go back to James Buchanan to find a President with major foreign policy experience prior to assuming office (before him we’re looking at Martin Van Buren and John Quincy Adams, but you get the point).

Heck, even ABC Radio News is jumping on the "Stop Palin" bandwagon.
I can't wait for the affilitated ESPN to say what an aweful Governor
Palin is because there's not any NFL, MLB, NHL or pro-basketball
teams in the state!!!

This morning the ABC Radio News reader said that Palin was now
making campaign appearances without McCain.
And in so many words said that she was just repeating her convention
speech..."that is full of flipflops and information that has
been debunked".
You could hear the snearing against Palin in the voice of the
ABC news-reader.

In other words, they tried to convey the thought that she's too
lazy to work up new material. I guess ABC Radio News has never
heard the term "stump speech" that Republicans, Democrats,
Libertarians, Independents ALL repeat over and over again while campaigning.

And that she's just a liar. Even though every real investigation
of the facts presented in her convention speech has shown
Governor Palin is NOT GUILTY of the sort of mendacity or wiggle-
words that are Standard Operating Procedure for Democrats.
Heck, I even heard a CNN reporter run through a fact-check of
Palin's speech and he basically said that she was pretty much
honest in all her speech. (Hearing CNN concede that almost gave
me a freakin' heart attack!!!)

I'm suprised the news-reader didn't say she campaigning alone
because McCain can't stand to be around her!!!
