I Still Admire Senator McCain... [View all]

He sacrificed a lot for our nation and he still deserves our gratitude.

But, as the person who brought to the political world the most disgraceful, toxic, and unqualified individual on a national ticket since Spiro Agnew, I really wouldn't be criticizing anybody else's decisions on national policy.

Unfortunately, after all you have done in your life - Sarah Palin will always be your legacy.
