from being the most powerful person alive, disqualifies the party forever.

... 1) I detect some regret from him even though he has been careful not to actually criticize her, 2) I think his campaign brain trust was mostly responsible for her selection to garner support from the crazy far right, while he had inadequate input. I think his true sin was not being more in control of that process. It was no secret he wanted Leiberman, but he caved to the strategists in his campaign. And 3) there was little to vette about her. All of her crazy has been loosed since her selection to the 2008 ticket. Before that she was about as unknown as a governor could possibly be, and had such a sparse record that there was little to suggest she would be the monumental idiot she has turned out to be.

I'm short, I don't blame McCain for selecting a psycho, I blame him for not resisting pressure and selecting an unknown who happened to turn out to be a psycho.

Then, there's HBO Films Game Change, which I recommend. Great cast. Julianne Moore as Sarah Palin, Ed Harris as McCain, Woody Harrelson as Steve Schmidt.

It gives a great view of how things spun out of control in McCain's campaign after they selected Palin.

The economy was in deep frog shit and getting worse by the day. Projections were for far worse for far longer than we ended up with under Obama. McCain didn't want that on his hands and I believe the RNC deliberately threw it to the Democratic party so they had someone to blame.

Track COULD be suffering from PTSD: Proximity To Sarah Disorder.

A form of Traumatic Brain Injury brought on by being near enough to hear her, and attempting to figure out What the F**k is She Saying???

Not to mention the screechy voice.


Either one of those will cause brain damage, but both together????

His job was to interview and he did so in a professional and serious manner. Regardless of political views I can't imagine being able to sit in front of her listening to that blather and not just crack up laughing.
