Helen Thomas: McCain's pick of running mate reflects poorly on him [WARNING: pics likely]
The Salt Lake Tribune ^ | September 4, 2008 | Helen Thomas

Republican presidential nominee John McCain's selection of Sarah Palin as his running mate has put in question his judgment and understanding of the importance of national leadership.

McCain's cynical ploy seems to have been an effort to win over disenchanted feminists who had supported Hillary Clinton's strong campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination but who have failed to embrace the nomination of Barack Obama to top the ticket.

Equally notable was McCain's desire to win over members of the evangelical right - so influential in the Republican Party - who have been unhappy with the choice of McCain as their standard bearer in the first place.

In addition to her lack of experience, Palin - governor of Alaska for two years - carries a lot of unexpected baggage: Bristol, her 17-year-old unmarried pregnant daughter, plus a gubernatorial ethics problem for ordering a public safety commissioner to sack her ex-brother-in-law who had been involved in a divorce battle with her sister.

A VETerinarian?Sorry for the bad pun, I couldn’t help myself. The shock of seeing her mug again did it. I’ve heard that she can never die as death is afraid to sneak up on her.

Can someone with PhotoShop tint her skin green and stick a witch's outfit on her, hat and all?

Normally, I’d frown upon our gang making fun of one’s personal appearance. However, since Helen is even more ugly on the inside, I’ll comment no further. Gads, this woman is dumb, bitter, vindictive, etc, etc.

Helen is such an old bag. I thought Palin was awesome last night and have never been more happier with the GOP then I was when she spoke.

Shocker, the MSM is circling the wagons after Palin handed them their arses. Damn us, are we going to believe what what we actually witnessed last night or what Helen Thomas tells us we should have witnessed?
