Here's Your Republican V.P. Pick

Well, she's pretty. In fact, she was the runner-up in a Ms. Alaska contest. Also, according to Wikipedia, "she hunts, eats moose burgers, ice fishes, rides snowmobiles, and owns a float plane. Palin holds a lifetime membership with the National Rifle Association. She admits that she used marijuana when it was legal in Alaska, but says that she did not like it."

Didn't like it?

But Alaska? And really: McCain is trying to win over Hillary supporters after the speech Hillary delivered this week, after Obama's speech last night? I don't think there are any Hillary Clinton supporters left to win over.

Interesting choice. But, really: Not a bad one. Just kind of ... huh?

Mc'Alin 08?

Update: What the Sam Hell? Did anyone listen to her speech? Good Lord -- "SNL" is gonna have a field day with her. They should bring back Cheri Oteri, put her in a cheerleader outfit, and have her play this woman. She actually sounded like a PTA Mom.

So out of her league.

She had a baby -- her fifth -- in April. A baby with Down's Syndrome. And she went back to work three days later. I am as feminist as they come, but shit on a cracker: You need to stay home and hug that baby for a few weeks. Both her and her husband. Jesus Christ -- how can you trot out family values when you won't -- when you can -- stay home a week or two and be with your disabled child? That's what FMLA is for. It's not like she just adopted a dog -- she delivered a child into the world. And she goes right back to work?

Woah. My Arkansas just came out there. Sorry about that.

Still: Really?
