Hokey Smoke! Republicans appear to be less-than-thrilled with the senior senator from Arizona selecting the Governor of Mooselvania as his running mate last Friday. Hey, I'm not one for ad hominem attacks, but when your Presidential pick chooses "
Rocky" as his theme song, and his running mate
expresses an affinity for "Moose Burgers", how can one NOT think of
these two:
Moose & Squirrely (er, uh, Rocky & Bullwinkle)
No, actually, the first to come to mind are THESE two:
..ESPECIALLY when you think of them taking orders from Fearless Leader:
Okay, no cracks about my mediocre PhotoShopping skills. It was a rush-job, and no one's paying me to do it.
The Right-wing is in a tizzy over Sarah Palin as McCain's pick to be his VP. Choosing the first-term governor (having served only 20 months) of Alaska (a state with
1/19th the population of Obama's home state of Illinois),
didn't even have a passport before 2007, has completely undermined his "
experience over judgment" argument he has used against Senator Obama's "judgment over experience" defense. Oh, and what self-respecting Republican wouldn't be
under investigation for ethics violations after only months on the job? Pro-gun, questionable ethics, sounds perfect... but don't we already have this VP???
But Palin isn't without her fans. As far back as February of 2007, after having been Governor for less than two months, one Palin fan had already started a "
draft Palin blog/petition"... not for President, but for "VP". Her top three attributes for the job: pro-life, pro-gun, and
female (to counter the Hillary or Obama novelty).

Ever since learning of the Palin pick, I've been telling people that
I believe, after seeing
Obama's acceptance speech before 84,000 people,
every other possible McCain running mate backed out, deciding that hitching their wagon to McCain's dead-horse of a campaign is political suicide, choosing instead to focus on 2012.
In addition to other concerns, the 44 year old mother of four gave birth to her fifth child only months ago, which was diagnosed as having Down Syndrome.
Because of all this, I'm going to predict (and we all know how bad
my track record is making VP predictions) that, as a result of extreme pressure from the Right,
Palin will pull a Harriet Meyers and reject the VP nomination during the Convention, citing her new Special-Needs baby as the reason, allowing the delegates to vote on her replacement...
EXACTLY what
some Republicans hoped/suggested Hillary should do to disrupt the Democratic Convention (and let's not forget, they "
prayed for rain" to disrupt Obama's big speech, only to have a
hurricane lobbed their way
three years to the day of Katrina. It's as if some deity wants to remind everyone just how disastrous electing another Republican would be. Hmm.)
