"My mother is a moderate, 58 year old Republican from Pennsylvania, voted Bush twice, now suspects he's an idiot. She switched and voted for Obama in the primary because she hates the Clintons and because I begged her mercilessly to do so. I've feared all along that we might lose her in the general. No longer! She just called me from her office, LAUGHING HYSTERICALLY - "Did you see who McCain picked? Ha ha ha ha." I could hear her friends, as she just described them, "other former Republicans," also laughing, all boomer women.
She thinks he's senile, drunk, or both. I told her to show some respect, the woman was Miss Alaska's first runner up in 1984. You think they were laughing BEFORE. Ha! Kay Bailey Hutchinson would have been masterful, this is just hilarious. Game on.
McCain's penchant for beauty queens is, um, subtle."
