OK, so no worries about Sarah Palin, right?

OK, she can see Russia from her state if she goes out to Little Diomede in the middle of the Bering Strait and stares at Big Diomede. That's a rather special foreign policy credential, I guess. She also didn't really know what the Bush Doctrine was until Charlie Gibson explained it to her, as her recent interview with him attests (as well as parts 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, & 7). I'm disappointed to see that McCain seems to have picked a veeeery inexperienced VP candidate easily able to out-Bush dear ol' incompetent Bush.

And yeah, Sarah Palin looks like Tina Fey and Tina Fey can do a damn good Sarah Palin. A spookily accurate Sarah Palin, perhaps even . . .

So, keep in mind . . . This recent small-town mayor will be "one heartbeat away" from the Presidency if McCain gets elected . . . And how many heartbeats do you think McCain has left, anyway? Hasn't eight years of an overly religious, war-mongering ignoramus raised in & elected from Texas been enough? Do we need to risk dealing with the small-town, female, lipstick-wearing-so-I'm-distinguishable-from-a-pit-bull, I'm-also-on-a-mission-from-God-even-if-I'm-not-a-Blues-Brother version of this same sort of things except raised in & elected from Alaska, too? Do you really think engaging in the same fucking behavior over and over again is going to solve the problems of our nation? Like electing tough-talking, empty-brained nincompoops just because they seem to really genuinely believe in America's most popular deity? Do you really think the guy who picked this sweet little inexperienced warmonger is really got fabulous judgment? Or is it perhaps just early signs of dementia? Her record just isn't that awesome, according to at least one former constituent. I'd say there's much to worry about here.

P.S. On a different subject, Ron Paul says don't vote for McCain or Obama, but for Nader. I'm not sure if a Paul/Nader alliance can actually mix-up politics in our country as we know it. Still, I find it interesting . . . Ideally, it's a move I'd like to see bear fruit and expand the number of parties participating in U.S. politics, but not at Obama's expense . . . Not this year!
