HOLY SHIT: Upon Which I Gift To You The LOL ROFL ROFL LOL Of All Time... [View all]

...no, you're reading it right: "Palin was the better candidate" - McCain

John McCain: I Didn’t Pick Romney Because ‘Sarah Palin Was The Better Candidate’
By Benjy Sarlin
TPM

Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) defended Mitt Romney from Democratic speculation that he passed on him as a 2008 running mate after reviewing his tax returns, saying Sarah Palin was simply the better choice at the time.

McCain called the tax claims “outrageous” and “disgraceful” in an interview with Politico Tuesday. He said he chose Palin “because we thought that Sarah Palin was the better candidate.”

With friends like these, who needs enemas...except McCain, it seems...

Too rich. Just too fucking rich. "Palin was better." Cue the next Obama gut-you-and-watch-you-die-slow commercial in 3...2...1...

TO REITERATE: The last GOP presidential nominee just announced that the present GOP nominee is inferior to Sarah fuckin-fa-chrissake Palin.

Yes. That happened.
