On Wednesday, the Washington Post asked Senator John McCain (R-AZ) how would his former running mate, Sarah Palin (pictured), do if she decides to run for president? The man who has long thought himself a maverick gave a very polite and undoubtedly politically safe answer, “She’s very interesting. And I’m sure she’d do great.”

Do great at what exactly?

At drawing attention to herself? I’ll give the former Alaskan governor credit when it’s due: Palin has nearly Kardashian-like precision when it comes to garnering media attention.

As for everything else that comes with a presidential race – the campaigning, the political speeches, the media appearances outside of the safety net that is FOX News that would be required of her, and the actually winning of primaries – ha, ha, ha.

1. Many of us knew...

...in about 6 minutes. Maybe even 6 seconds. McCain's announcement was a Dan Quayle déjà vu moment.

[Major Nikon]

6. About 8 seconds

[3catwoman3]

9. Stupid and...

...FOS often co-exist, unfortunately. They certainly do in Palin.

17. While maybe not the brightest bulb, Dan Quayle is a towering intellect next to Sarah Palin.

And he seemed a decent enough person, unlike Ms Palin.

[KingCharlemagne]

21. Like Cheney, Quayle seems to have had 'other priorities' when it came to the conflict

of his time, i.e., Vietnam. Fortunately for Quayle, he had family connections to jump him to the head of the National Guard line.

27. By Dan Quayle moment, I was recalling...

...my thought of "Who the hell is Dan Quayle?" He at least pretty well faded from the scene after his time was up and didn't seem to feel the need to contribute to divisiveness. I wish Palin would do the same.

[Raster]

40. Quayle comes from a wealthy family and feels no need to endure the public eye, which...

...tends to be negative for many reasons.

Palin, on the other hand, does NOT come from money and in turn, forces her shtick upon the public out of necessity to pay for her leveraged lifestyle.

Grifter: a person who swindles you by means of deception or fraud.

[StevieM]

26. I remember how dumb Dan Quayle used to seem. I never even thought that George W Bush was as dumb as

Quayle was.

But compared to Palin, Quayle was a genius. She had a lack of intelligence that IMO was unique among presidential and vice-presidential candidates in American history.

[roguevalley]

32. I knew since 1996. She was a useful tool and now she isn't. Simple as that.

[Warpy]

2. All they saw was a slightly faded beauty queen who loved gunz

The word salad didn't bother them while they were hypnotized by her looks, they don't listen much to what any woman has to say. All they heard were catch phrases and buzz words they recognized from Pox News. She was the whole package to them: gams, gawd, and gunz.

Her problem now is that pesky 4th "G," Grandma. Turning 50 is the great leveler for man traps who got everywhere on their looks. Hormones and surgery will only delay the inevitable and for less than a decade.

[Voice for Peace]

8. Yah, I don't think she's going to age well.

The inner uglinesses tend to manifest in our faces
the older we get. Or the inner love and kindnesses.

[3catwoman3]

13. She already...

...isn't. The picture above is passingly attractive. She doesn't look like that anymore.

The ugliness in her soul is most definitely showing on her face. I commented in a related thread that sneering and snarling will do that to you, and Palin is a master of the derisive sneer.

[AwakeAtLast]

28. Is that why my face hasn't aged a day in 15 years?

[LibGranny]

14. and she knew how to "wink"!

[Nay]

33. That's exactly my take on her as well. The perfect woman! Of course, when she

turns 50 and starts to really age, few former worshippers will be interested.

[Faux pas]

3. I'm not surprised

how long did it take them to figure out gwb is a dink? Way too late, for sure.

[bvar22]

5. gwb got the Republicans almost everything they wanted.

Two Wars
Tax Cut for the Rich
He got the Bank Bailout with Democratic Majorities in both the House & Senate.



He never needed 60 votes in the Senate.


The Republican Party dropped Palin soon after the election.
It is only FOX and America's need for comedy during hard times keeping her alive.

[Faux pas]

38. lol

the point I was trying to make is the fact that he never made a lick of sense when he talked.

[Duppers]

4. it took them six months to figure out that

Corbett was not one of them.

[hifiguy]

7. Come on. We've all known a guy or gal who for some reason

beyond all sense and logic has fallen for someone all their friends can see is batshit crazy/hammer-dumb/not right in the head or just plain WRONG despite having a certain kind of superficial physical attractiveness.

They either wise up in matter of weeks or months and head for the hills or wind up marrying that person, to the dismay of said friends.

This was no different, and I am sure all the reichwing men championing her had more Sparklemoose porn fantasies running through their heads than they've had hot dinners.

But all that means is that Repukes are dumb and we already knew that.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

22. Hell, I wouldn't even want a hand job from her....

....you end up having to wash the ink off yer dick.

[liberalhistorian]

24. Your post reminds me

of a video from several years back of some recheck's clearly visible erection while he was getting his picture taken with her during a public appearance. Truly hilarious on one level, but it also showed pretty much the whole basis of her "appeal".

I think neither she nor Gramps McBombs have ever gotten over losing, especially to one of "those" people. And their bitterness has only fueled their continued craziness these past several years.

[appalachiablue]

10. Don't understand continued following of Palin, known con and GOP hack. Has to be the looks.

Perhaps we should wonder why we're losing to her Party, the GOP and to Cruz, McConnell, Boehner, Scott Walker, Rick Scott, Jeff Inhoff, Chris Christy and others, especially after the greatest financial crisis in 75 years, relentless plundering of public services and resources and the sharp decline of the middle and working classes. I fail to see any interest in her; the Palin phenom was well over, even before the expose film, 'Game Change".

[Major Nikon]

11. Just remember that someone has to represent those on the far left side of the bell curve

Might as well be one of their own.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

12. No, it shouldn't

I think, however, she ended up being a useful idiot for riling up the Tea Party masses and "sticking it" to President Obama and agitating liberals (a more politically palatable Rush Limbaugh- though he had his day in the sun back in the 1990's). Her usefulness, however, appears to be at an end and Republicans/conservatives are just realizing, amazingly, that it is HER, not President Obama who is out of her element, lacks substance, and, apparently, can't function well without a teleprompter.

on that last point!

[Spitfire of ATJ]

20. Yeah,.....Ann Coulter hated her for stealing her act.

[TNNurse]

15. She was Republican and pretty

That is all that mattered to them.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

16. Yes, she was bad news from the start, but everything wrong with her seems to have

been magnified over the years. She is more abrasive, illogical, bigoted, and mean-spirited than ever now. That screechy excuse for a voice always skeeved me out, but now it feels as though my ears are about to bleed whenever I accidentally hear her shrieking out her nasty nonsense.

[RiverLover]

18. They are collectively very slow.

The proof is in the Palin.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

19. NOBODY dares to tell the truth about this....

======== In a nutshell ========

McCain - 1st wife: Beauty Queen
McCain - 2nd wife: Beauty Queen
McCain Running Mate: Beauty Queen

[malaise]

25. Nothing McCain says should be taken seriously after that selection

for VP

[GP6971]

31. I often wonder if McCain had any

real say in her selection.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

36. Saw a home made sign in a car window that had her face and, "Cuntry 1st".

[Cryptoad]

23. Whats funnier than that is,,,,

you think the GOP has figured out that she is foolish......

[Zambero]

29. Fools being fools do not readily perceive foolish behavior

That would require a certain amount of insight and intelligence, characteristics lacking in Palin and her followers.

[delrem]

30. "drill baby drill"

Remember '08?
We all derided Palin for that "Palinism".
Now it's 2015. The slogan is now "drill and frack, drill and frack", and we're all so pleased by the super low prices, an oil/gas glut and a price war. Super!

So tell me, all. What's the difference? What, really, is the difference?

[Cha]

34. Even the one who ****** up and dropped her on America won't admit it.. he'll never admit he

made a colossal mistake.

[Liberal_in_LA]

35. some knew.they just like her the way the expresses herself

Some rank and file said as much. She had a likeability..all that mother
Grizzly talk.

[raven mad]

37. We knew.

Before she was elected governor. During a Golden Days Parade just before the election that put her there in 2006. Don't ask, but Track Palin was out of control even then.

[Orsino]

39. It didn't. It's only her usefulness that is running out.

They're corrupt, not blind.
