“McCain should have been ripping the MSM for the way they treated Palin but in the end he turned out no better than them.”
That really showed me what kind of “man” McCain really is. He’s really much like John Kerry in many ways.
McCain shouldn’t have had to have defended Palin. The woman should take some responsibility for not giving a decent interview. She looked foolish and unqualified. Plus the rest of the world doesn’t go for a woman needing a man to get her job done. It was up to her to represent herself the right way. Trying to defend someone after the fact is like trying to close the barn door after the horses have run away, it’s a little silly. I think the reason why McCain didn’t defend Palin was because he was embarrassed, as he well should have been. He picked her without really knowing her. McCain was very impulsive in picking her and he got caught. That’s why he didn’t defend her, if a woman wants a job, she shouldn’t need a man to speak for her. By the way, McCain did defend Palin, he took her under his wing and got everyone to accept her as his VP with the announcement her daughter was pregnant out of wedlock. McCain really went of of his way for Palin, just by puting her on the ticket under scandalous circumstances, so don’t give the impression that McCain didn’t defend Palin, if anything he really went out of his way for her. So it is a ridiculous argument that he didn’t defend her.
