It is hard to think of a more cynical and contemptuous political act this year than John McCain's selection of Sarah Palin as his vice-presidential running mate. Having served as governor of Alaska for less than two years -- and as mayor of a small town before that -- her qualifications for national office are minimal.
Palin is the epitome of tokenism, exactly what conservative Republicans have always claimed to scorn, until today, as the politics of quotas and political correctness. Even Rush Limbaugh is a feminazi now (at least until Election Day).
But if Palin's résumé is limited, to put it politely, she possesses the only two qualities that McCain now seems to consider essential: She is a right-wing religious ideologue with female gender characteristics. Suddenly that is all anyone needs to qualify as a potential commander in chief of the world's most powerful military. We probably won't hear so much from now on about "experience" and "judgment," McCain's vaunted standard for the presidency until ... today. We certainly won't hear again about the "person most prepared to take my place," the phrase he has used more than once to describe his main criterion for a running mate.

Even the rats knew better. They chose Hillary, but their bosses saw things otherwise.
I do love it! This is the most fun I've had since Rush auctioned off the letter on Ebay.
Democrat hacks hate her. Can’t get a better endorsement.
147 days in the US Senate and a state senator before that. But this candidate wont be a heart beat away from the presidency. No experience whatsoever.
The rats are really squirming.
“It is hard to think of a more cynical and contemptuous political act this year than John McCain’s selection of Sarah Palin as his vice-presidential running mate.”
Oh, it pales in comparison to the Dems. plucking an obscure state senator from Illinois and sticking him on national television as their keynote speaker at the 2004 convention. Purely trying build a name for an unknown black politician of no accomplishment.
Still of no accomplishment.
Palin has many commendable accomplishments which she earned on her own.
I thought this skeevey gank had long since died from AIDS or some other puke venereal disorder. Surprised he’s still wasting air.

And Barry's Hussein's qualifications are...?
McCain has made a master stroke of political strategy. Almost everything they say about her experience clearly applies to OB. Genius!
still more Executive experience than Obama and she's running as VP unlike Obama who's running for President.
See Post #44... Hillary isn’t worried about Obama losing - she’s counting on it (so she can run in 2012). However, the Obamessiah is still the “HOPE” of the rest of the liberals in this country. Doesn’t look like that’s going to work out so well, now.
Obama can enhance his executive decision resume if he would talk about the Wood Foundation and what happened to the Annenberg Challenge grant money?
Oh, wait!

Yes, but she did sleep in a Holiday Inn Express last night.
ULTIMATE CLINTON BUTTBOY JOE CONASON RUNS AWAY CRYING FROM FREEPER ON GLORIA ALLRED SHOW

Joe Conason, one of the slickest, albeit most evil, of all the Clinton buttboys, appeared for softball questions on the Gloria Allred show about his new, pardon me, “book.” I will not give the title of the piece of trash on FreeRepublic.
I had just been uplifted after seeing a great performance by Samuel L. Jackson and Tommy Lee Jones in RULES OF ENGAGEMENT. My wife and I left the theatre and the radio was on KABC. When I heard the voice of Conason, a FreeRepublic lurker, I started screaming. My wife immediately turned to FM to bring down my blood pressure. Well, I thought that was the end of it.
A short time later I played the messages on my answering device and a friend was screaming that I had to call in and confront Conason. She explained that he mostly received softball questions and couldn’t handle himself without looking like a fool when someone finally challenged him. I told her I would make the call but didn’t expect to get in. After all, it was the last ten minutes of the show.
Suprise, suprise, the phone was ringing. Pehaps because I have had many reasonable discussions with Allred, she put me on in just a few minutes. While on hold I listened to a caller giving Conason kudos for defending Clinton because he was “defending the presidency.” I threw up the scallops, broccoli and Trader Joe’s cheese/musroom loaf I had just consumed.
Regaining my composure and cleaning up the kitchen floor, I then readied a few notes for the confrontation. As a side note, clean up was really easy because my dear daughter bought me a special phone for Christmas which has a headphone and leaves both hands free. But I digress.
When Allred announced she was going to Doug from Upland, I heard Conason, is a rather snotty voice say “Doug from Upland.” I then said hello to him and he asked in an equally sarcastic voice, “Is this the Doug from Upland from Free Republic?” Because he said it in the manner in which he said it and because I always try to give back to the political left that which they give to me, I responded, “Yes. And is this the Clinton buttboy Joe Conason?”
Perhaps Conason is not used to people getting in his lying face but he did not seem to like it too much. He called me a loudmouth and said he would refuse to talk to me. I thought Gloria had cut me off but I found myself still on the line. So, I asked him about the rape charge by Juanita Broaddrick. His answer, of course, was something to the effect of he really didn’t know because none of us were there. He still was whining because he didn’t want to talk to me. When confronted, I have discovered that the lying left really likes to turn tail and run.
Amazingly, I still found myself on the phone. I tried a different question. I asked if his wife, mother, sister or daughter was raped, would he want the person who was accused to answer for it? Conason, of course, stammered and stammered and would not give an answer to the question. He didn’t want to talk to me. Clinton defenders can’t ever answer that question. To answer it honestly would mean admitting that they are playing the fool for Clinton.
Well, Joe, I know you are probably lurking here right now. You were FReeped tonight. Someday you and rest of the legions of buttboys who have given up intellectual honesty and their very souls to protect this despicable man who has defiled the institution of the presidency, will be shown for what you are. Run away, Joe. Run away. But first, please wipe off what is dripping from your chin. It is staining your blue dress.
