McCain is MIA; Believed Hidden Behind Palin’s Skirt
John McCain has always had a schizophrenic relationship with women. He has constantly painted himself as the randy, tough flyboy, but, as both he and his mother (and everyone else who seems to have knowledge) readily admit, he was, and still is, a flat out mama’s boy all the way. Now McCain has found an even bigger skirt to hide behind, that of Sarah Palin. Who knew that the GOP Nominee had become so weak, addled and ineffective that the GOP, and McCain himself, was desperate enough to pluck an unknown, inexperienced and unvetted Sarah Palin off the wind swept tundra of Alaska just to manufacture an excitement diversion?
Since the jaw dropping announcement of Palin, it has been hard to tell that McCain is still the the nominee and leader of the ticket. All the buzz at the Republican National Convention was over Sarah Palin, she was the toast, and the star, of the show. Palin’s speech on Wednesday night dwarfed that of McCain’s nomination acceptance on Thursday in every measurable category. There was more excitement, more anticipation, it was better and more coherently written, and it was by far better delivered. The king of the Midshipmen upstaged completely by a probie plebe. In a skirt.
Since the close of the Sarah Palin Show Republican Convention, McCain has only further disappeared behind (under?) Palin’s skirt. As MSNBC notes, McCain-Palin has become Palin-McCain:
The banners, buttons and signs say McCain-Palin, but the crowds say something else.
"Sa-rah! Pa-lin!" came the chant at a Colorado Springs rally on Saturday moments before Republican nominee John McCain took the stage with Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, a woman who was virtually unknown to the nation just a week earlier. The day before, thousands screamed "Sa-rah! Sa-rah! Sa-rah!" at an amphitheater outside Detroit.
…
In the short time since McCain spirited the 44-year-old first-term governor out of Alaska and onto a national stage as his running mate, Palin has become an instant celebrity. And since her speech at the Republican National Convention, watched by more than 40 million Americans, she is emerging as the main attraction for many voters at their campaign appearances."She’s the draw for a lot of people," said Marilyn Ryman, who came to see her at the Colorado rally inside an airport hangar. "The fact that she’s someone new, not the old everything we’ve seen before."
Boy, no kidding. There have been several different Palin/McCain campaign appearances covered by CNN and MSNBC the last few days, and it is jarring just how dominant Sarah Palin is compared to the weak, old and wooden looking McCain.
And this does not appear to be any chance phenomenon either; after the initial position that Palin would be retreating to Alaska to cover up her scandals study foreign policy and send her son off to Iraq, that no longer appears to be operative and Palin is front and center from here on out. How humiliating for McCain, the second he realizes his greedy lifelong consuming ambition of being the GOP Presidential nominee, he is shunted aside so fast that even his creaky head must be spinning. For a sassy rookie woman from the frozen nowhere.
You could almost feel sorry for McCain. Almost, that is, if it were not for McCain’s lifelong history of using, discarding, sucking and leeching off of women to serve his personal desires and ambitions. McCain himself has written about the scores of women that he went through in his youth. Then he claimed to have found his soul mate, Carol, and settled down. Of course, all that only counted if it was all perfect for McCain; the second it was not, because of injuries Carol suffered in a car accident, McCain abandoned her and their family. Of course, McCain didn’t leave Carol before he had found his next mark, Cindy Lou Hensley, to leech off of. Years after using Cindy’s money and contacts to fuel his political career, a career he may never have had without the Hensley resources, McCain still dismisses his wife with such uncouth terms as "trollop" and "c*nt" when he is annoyed or angry.
So, with McCain now missing in action behind Palin’s skirt, it is in no small measure of irony and justice that the angry, dishonorable cad McCain, having spent his political lifetime living off of the good graces and money of his wife, is now subjugated to the role of the wooden dummy Charlie McCarthy to Sarah Palin’s Edgar Bergen. The user is now the tool. Are you ready for President Palin?
No. And why is it so BAD for Obama to have star power, and so GOOD for Palin to have it?
Hope the Inquirer (or the NYT or the WAPO) is digging up more. I’m worried, people are buying this crap.
People are buying it because the MSM is selling it.
His career might be a lot shorter if Cindy decides to dump him. I somehow doubt that she misses much. Without her, he’d be trying to maintain that millionaire lifestyle on his senate salary and his pension.
And she might if he continues acting like a dirty old man with Palin. Probably not though. That real estate on Pennsylvania Ave. is like no other.
Oh imagine the horror if he actually needed his social security. He might be less gung-ho on privatizing it….
There are a lot of people that have known her family a long time that were dumbfounded that she did not dump him in the late 80s-early 90s.
I’d say McCain was relatively cheap if he’s viewed as a family investment in a pet U.S. Senator. He’s certainly done the job for the family business.
Obviously you’re talking about Cindy… and what do you think about her $300,000 convention costume? She made Laura Bush look sane, and that’s a difficult thing to do.
Cindy has kept him because she wants to see herself in the role of First Lady. There is something very strange about her too, huh? It must be scary to listen to her self-talk!
She’s on drugs.
Nice work, bmaz. I think you’ve found the tack regarding Palin to make St. John’s head explode & that famous temper flare.
Let’s send this post to anyone we think might start rubbing this in, shall we?
I haven’t seen anything about the Palin’s net worth. Has anyone?
bmaz, that Fort Wayne link is precious.
Which one is that? Apparently I don’t even know my own links…
The “mamas boy” link. From the Fort Wayne News-Sentinel.
Ah, thanks, I didn’t even see that was from the News-Sentinel originally
I just wanted to point out,in reference to your Devil went down to Georgia post,that some references at Informed comment point to Isreal’s use of Georgia to attack Iran.It makes alot more sense than fucking with the bear
http://www.juancole.com/2008/0…..ttack.html
I heard about that. Juan Cole makes decent points; either way, it may possibly be moot as I heard (I think the source was DEBKA) that the Russians have taken over and are occupying the two air bases that the Israelis are/were alleged to be using. There was even some mention that the Russians captured one of the Israelis’ latest high tech spy drones, but I have no idea if any of that is true or not. Pretty interesting if it is though…..
Yea, the Isreal of the Caucasus?
Give em time and they will reverse engineer the drone tech and get it to Tehran and them drones are going to dropping like flies
Goddamn aipac is gonna force China and Russia to back Iran.This could be the last straw.Now that Obamma is going along with it all,yez sir boss,(no wonder he sold us out on fisa)and kissin aipac’s ass Cheney is going to cut Isreal loose.This is going to get real messy
Wait till china calls in their loans.
Better dust off all them old nukes we got stashed
“Come ye masters of war, who build all the planes, who build all the bombs…”
One thing I find particularly scary is that the Republican ticket would probably do BETTER if they bumped McCain off the top, put Sarah in @ #1, and Ruff the Dog in @ #2.
Who says they won’t?
Here’s a description of one of those campaign stops:
She definitely was the “draw” in this white, upper middle class city, to which Palin and McCain vowed to bring “hope and confidence.”
The “Trophy Running Mate” definitely threatens to overtake the ticket. And the co-pilot to the pilot sure as heck can’t fly a plane!
The campaign back and forth and the debates will be fascinating. My money’s on Obama/Biden with a huge helping of our own ‘pit bull’, Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Palin is last week’s bright shiny object. It will look very bad if she overshadows Fighter Pilot POW John.
Dana Priest is interviewing Jane Mayer on cspan
I have been worried for a long while that McCain does not have all his faculties. It just seems more and more that the lights are on but nobody’s home… Now we have a female version of Dubya standing behind him, who is something of a bright, shiny object to detract from McCain’s growing dementia. Regardless, though, there is great reason for all of us to be very afraid. Our country is already a shambles…
This just cannot happen!
I had a discussion with several folks on a past thread about McCain’s capacities. I have a bit of long ago education in psychology, and have worked diminished mental capacity arguments with experts in cases before, but am light years short of the expertise to say anything with confidence or specificity. That said, I have watched, seen, and even been around McCain ever since he came to Arizona nearly 30 years ago. He has always been far more of a daffy dunderhead than people realize; however, he looks to me to be clearly slipping. Dementia, alzheimers, senility – no, not yet; but he is headed there.
One of your best, bmaz. Keep it up!
This Palin thing goes back further than we know. I saw a ref to an interview with her on the Charlie Rose show back in October. I searched his archives, found the page and title – – scrubbed clean! I sent him an e-mail about it. (Is he one of THEM??)
Also, on today’s Fox News Sunday Palin was being discussed. Chris Wallace mentioned that Bill Kristol had predicted back in June that Palin would be the VP choice. Those Kristols have been among the controllers for a long time. Also, Rove was among the earliest to support her publicly.
Regarding your article on Cheney in Georgia (preceded by Randy Scheuneman and Rove): (1) In McCain’s convention speech he mentioned Russia just after Al Quieda and Iran. (2) If McCain gets elected, by whatever means, he knows not what he is dealing with in Putin. There is a high probability that Putin is holding the KGB file of McCain’s brainwashing during his years as a POW. Many of the other POWs there in Hanoi state that there was a period of 8, 12, or 22 months that he was not with them and they did not know where he was. This is a long story and there is an very authoritative video on those POWs taken to Moscow and brainwashed.
Link: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=587_1205102670
If that doesn’t work, Google: video, KGB files of McCain.
I would like your take, and others’ here, on the implications of a Pres. McCain under the influence of Putin using knowledge contained in McCain’s KGB POW file. (i.e. The Manchurian Candidate)
Those Russian methods could make the subject believe things happened which did not, and believe that things which did happen had not. They could also totally wipe out memory of things which the POWs had participated in. McCain, himself, may not remember what he did in collaborating with the North Vietnamese, Chinese, Russians.
I feel there is something very ominous about this.
Thank you, bmaz. I’ve learned much from you.
In a related story, the 9/11 episode of South Park was just on Comedy Central.
Thanks, Urban Gorilla, I’ll check it out.
Henry Kissinger was on Charlie Rose one night and said this
… which has been removed from youtube – at least twice that I know of
http://www.youtube.com/index?&…..sVBLoUlG95
I used it in a post I did on The Surge ™
Thanks, John in Sacramento. I’ll go to your link, though it takes all the grit I’ve got to learn more of Henry Kissinger. Before the internet we only had TV and newspapers. It never occurred to us that our trusted HK and crew would be doing anything other than what was best for our country. Now I know what an evil SOB he is – – mass slaughter can be laid right on his account. He also has mentored Cheney, Rummy, Wolfewitz, and all those younger than he. He is considered the wisest of the wise and very instrumental in the New World Order (PNAC). He has stated that the world’s poor, the ignorant masses, and all who are less “wise” are just “useless eaters” (Google that phrase) whose numbers must be reduced so the “wise ones” will have sufficient food and water.
Since learning the truth about him, I’ve questioned why Charlie Rose has him on so much and treats him with such high regard.
Don’t know whether you caught the Olympic Opening Ceremonies, but the anchor interpreting all the imagery for us was from Kissinger Associates Beijing. Rather toolishly, I might add. I’d be thinking about how China figures into whatever comes next.
Heh, as we were watching the opening ceremonies, I kept asking “who is that dude?” Wife said Matt Lauer and I knew that wasn’t right. Never found out who it was, but the guy had a way bizarre agenda and view, one that seemed really odd. And now that you say Kissinger, it makes sense; the guy was kind of like a cross between Kissinger or some total Neocon/PNAC dude crossed with one of the ESPN X Games announcer dudes. Very annoying presentation.
Hi bmaz. I think that show was somehow setting the stage for something, and I truly wish I knew what.
I didn’t catch the opening ceremonies of the Olympics; will search and see what I can find.
Hmmmm, Kissinger Assocs., Beijing, huh? Just thinking – – Nixon opened the door to China back about 1970; Kissinger was Secty of State. Wonder if we will ever learn all the dark secrets of HK’s devious deals worldwide.
As for how China will figure in whatever is ahead: well, they hold the mortgage on the USA ranch. Payments on that mortgage are astronomical. In August alone US lost 84,000 jobs; income tax on those payrolls was also lost. I read that jobs lost in 2008 exceed any period since 1920’s.
So, when Mr & Ms Jobless cannot buy China’s shoddy products and we cannot meet the mortgage payments, logically China forecloses.
I don’t want to go there.
Unfortunately you aren’t the only one that doesn’t want to go there. But we need to. We as a people have an election in two months, and if we don’t even want to imagine what’s waiting in the wings, we are in for big trouble. Not going there is like the kid not wanting to open the closet to confront the buggyman.
“Buggyman”, or any other of the closet inhabitors.
Riding on the coattails of delusions of grandeur!
Pardon me for going macabe, but only a few days after her anointment it dawned on me just how much like Bush she is, plus she has a vocabulary.
Articles are beginning to appear that make the same observation.
Giving no limits to the depths of darkness to be found in the neocon heart, I wondered if poor ‘ol John McCain shouldn’t watch his back. The neocons never really wanted McCain, now here’s Palin. How convienient would it be if McCain expired just after the election. A well spoken puppet named Palin is elevated, and Cheney, or his daughter, steps into the VP slot. Viola, the regime continues.
McCain might should hope she doesn’t survive the vetting process. His wold not be the first suspicious death that it would be too unimaginable to examine.

I’m soooo tired of hearing about her, but the cult of personality is obviously building to almost biblical proportions and the MSM is happily complicit for the opportunity to sell the air time. But the harping about how abysmal a person she is–and it looks like she is stacking up to be a typical Republican opportunist; which only ingratiates her to those bitter folks who had about squeezed all the blood out of their guns and religion–is almost as annoying.
The thing to focus on now is gaming the referees. If the Republicans are going to go to ground and teach her the party lines, the MSM needs to be loaded for bear (not polar bear) when she comes out of seclusion. The focus of the blogosphere should not wast time with preaching to the choir about what a two-bit hussy she is (redneck Ameruka actually likes that about her); rather, the case needs to be made for legitimate questions that she will need to answer, and it needs to be made in the viral fashion that only the internet can achieve.
What are legitimate questions you’d like answered?
Personally, I have a real problem with teaching the concept of creationism in public schools. The idea that increased carbon levels in the atmosphere is creating climate change seems foreign to her.
I want hard and fast answers to those questions not a DNA test for her fifth child.
Sorry to be off topic, but I simply must get the word out:
We live in a battleground state. We receive the New York Times daily. This morning, along with our Sunday Times – right in the middle where it was folded double – was a DVD, Obsession. This film was nothing more than bigotry. A scurrilous attack on Islam, the movie equated Hitler and the Nazis with Muslims.
It cannot be accidental that this despicable advertisement for bigotry invaded our home right after the republican convention, where footage of 911 was shown, followed by the dancing of convention goers.
I can only surmise that the republicans are planning next to equate Barack Obama with Muslims – once they have laid the the groundwork for connecting Islam with the Nazis.
I have hit a low point, folks. Even my spouse, the citizen of a European country, described this movie as the “most hateful movie I have ever seen.” I simply have a hard time believing this actually happened to us. We’re not Muslims, but how many Muslim families received a DVD like this one today?
I am in shock!
Damn Liberal press!
Somebody ought to write them and complain. I wouldn’t be surprised though if they said they had no idea what was in it. Just money coming in, no personal responsibility.
I have no idea how this stuff works these days, but i suppose that it is even possible the national papers don’t know and it is being done by local bundlers/delivery people; although you would sure hope the national guys have better control than that.
Items folded into a newspaper are called “inserts” in the trade. They are produced under contract with the paper’s marketing dept, and have nothing to do with the published paper. They usually consist of advertisments and coupons, but could be anything. It’s possible that the delivery contract could specify a particular market or location. Bottom line is that it’s not an editorial decision; the edition is already printed before the extra stuff is inserted.
Yes, agreed. And how Rovian for someone to figure out how to get around editorial…
I wrote the Times immediately! (letter to editor)
And this morning I copied that to the Public Editor.
We’ve just returned from reporting all this to the largest Mosque in town.
This is exactly what they want.
It’s going to be all small towns, Small Town Values ™, Grandmas and Mothers with their kids, “fighting the man” (even though the man is who they take their earmarks from), elitists and liberals, scary brown people, scary religions who want to come here and kill us (even though we have troops in two countries that were no threat to us), taxes taxes and more taxes, they want this to be about Grrrl power – symbolic in a singular figure – Palin, but not in practice for all women
Anything but the last 8 years of Bush, and the 12 years of Republican legislative majorities in the legislative branch from ‘94 to ‘06, and the symbiotic relationship between corporations, the dominionists and the Republican Party
They don’t want people to talk about McCain and his record
They don’t want people talking about McCain’s voting with shrub 95% of the time
They don’t want people talking about his flip flops
They do want this to be about the shiny jangly keys (Palin)
Well, Sarah and John had better get along if they get elected. John wouldn’t want his access to the red phone cut off.
OT, but of interest to all who read here. It seems that the McSame Campaign’s whining about NBC/MSNBC has borne fruit (Can you say deliberate and planned Repug political sabotage? I thought you could!).
GE has capitulated, as we always knew they would, to Repug pressure. Though I, like bmaz, cannot defend all of KO’s antics, I’d prefer to have him than not to have him.
There is much, much to be read between the lines in this NYT piece. Read it and weep, but read it!
MSNBC Takes Incendiary Hosts From Anchor Seat
The Repug-worshiping toadies like Brian Williams, Tom Brokaw, David Gregory and company got their wish.
Heh, I saw that earlier. In some regards, I don’t have a problem with it; there was a bit of unprofessionalism in the debates/conventions coverage with KO and Matthews anchoring (which is distinguished from my usual carping just about Olbermann on his own show, which supposedly has nothing to do with this move). However, it pisses the hell out of me that it is portrayed as, and in fact clearly is, the result of the Gooper whining. Asshats. when has FOX backed off??
What pandering fools. I’ll watch CNN before I waste a second on Wavey Davey Gregory. And I abhor CNN!
Maybe not. If there were a huge concerted effort for all of us on the friendly blogs to write MSNBC to let them know we’ll be watching CNN, and actually do it during the Biden/Palin debate, that could have a positive effect.
I don’t know how the hell they know what station I’m watching anyway…
That article kind of threw me. I don’t get the logic. I thought that network execs valued ratings ratings ratings above and beyond all, and we seem to learn at one point that KO has brought the numbers in. But then we shift gears to politics — suddenly the execs have cold feet, and the older public faces of the network are getting sanctimonious.
I guess the illogic is in the obviously political behaviour of the execs and the sanctimonious, but the reporters didn’t seem to grasp that that needed to be wrangled into some kind of clear narrative.
I don’t think it is really about GOP Whining – although I’m sure it was a talking point in the decision making
I continue to think Tim Russert’s death precipitated warfare among the ’suits ‘at NBC/MSNBC
Williams, Brokaw, and David‘I Got Worse Ratings Than Tucker’ Gregory are clearly in one camp – Olberman, Rachel, Shuster are in another
the good news – Keith is the only one with increased ratings – stay tuned
I would like every reporter in the Western world to be aware that Sarah Lenscrafters Model belonged until quite recently to the Jesus Camp church. Holy shit. So to speak.

The tv hard sell of Sarah Palin to the American public as their newest star celebrity kicks into high gear this week, via ABC & Charles Gibson. Rick Davis will get all the deference he could possibly desire for the Divine Mrs. Sarah, plus softly lit close ups.
From Josh Marshall @ TPM–
…The tell comes high up in the AP story by David Bauder. The second graf reads …
Palin will sit down for multiple interviews with Gibson in Alaska over two days, most likely Thursday and Friday, said McCain adviser Mark Salter.
Political interviews are never done like this. Because it makes the questioning entirely at the discretion of the person being interviewed and their handlers. The interviewer has to be on their best behavior, at least until the last of the ‘multiple interviews’ because otherwise the subsequent sittings just won’t happen. For a political journalist to agree to such terms amounts to a form of self-gelding. The only interviews that are done this way are lifestyle and celebrity interviews. And it’s pretty clear that that is what this will be…
I personally prefer the NO PARTY SYSTEM. The party is over. NO MONEY should be spent on politics. None. An entire industry and noise machine has been created that serves only to divide us.
Three months prior to each election cycle, three free networks should be made available for public discussion and debate – and the smartest individuals with the most popular ideas should be elected to govern. The rest of the time, people should focus on their lives and the shit that really matters. All political advertising should be eliminated.
The media companies should be broken up – and the airwaves returned to the control of their owners, we the people. All of this crap we talk about every day is just that…crap.
The media companies invent the candidates that their owners favor, and that is made known to them by David Rockefeller, AIPAC and the CFR.
All of the money that goes into politics ends up in the pockets of the media companies. Ask McCain if he favors his own “McCain/Feingold” bill and watch how fast be back-peddles.
Cindy Mcsame and her broken arm. Hate to be a cynic folks, but we are putting active addiction back into the white. She was addicted to pain meds. I have clients who break their own feet, arms, dislocate shoulders, and poke out their ear drums for the sake of pain meds. Her broken arm, like Bush’s pretzel face fall, make this counselor very suspcious.
She was back on them. Craves them. If the dems were really, really dirty…they’d know what to do…just like the repugs knew what to do with clinton.
I am not suggesting that they feed her drugs…that would be subhuman and cruel, but we should be watching her like a hawk, cause she’s going to fall, although I think even her impaired status is diminished by Palin.
I do not think that is the case, and have heard nothing to suggest that.
house..white house.
I think it was Andrew Sullivan who made the point that right now McCain’s age and decrepitude are a feature, not a bug.
Since Palin is supposedly under attack by the piranhas of the press, it seems like Democrats might as well try to get some real bites in.
I’ve been wondering why more folks have not focused on McCains ‘alleged” family values. That article is so revealing. Yuch
ttp://hwww.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1024927/The-wife-John-McCain-callously-left-behind.html
‘”My marriage ended because John McCain didn’t want to be 40, he wanted to be 25. You know that happens…it just does.’
“‘I thought, of course, we would live happily ever after,’ says Carol. But as a war hero, McCain was moving in ever-more elevated circles.
Through Ross Perot, he met Ronald Reagan, then Governor of California. A sympathetic Nancy Reagan took Carol under her wing.
But already the McCains’ marriage had begun to fray. ‘John started carousing and running around with women,’ said Robert Timberg.
McCain has acknowledged that he had girlfriends during this time, without going into details. Some friends blame his dissatisfaction with Carol, but others give some credence to her theory of a mid-life crisis.
He was also fiercely ambitious, but it was clear he would never become an admiral like his illustrious father and grandfather and his thoughts were turning to politics.
In 1979 – while still married to Carol – he met Cindy at a cocktail party in Hawaii. Over the next six months he pursued her, flying around the country to see her. Then he began to push to end his marriage.
Carol and her children were devastated. ‘It was a complete surprise,’ says Nancy Reynolds, a former Reagan aide.”
Meanwhile, we are all POWs. Prisoners of W!
Obama and Biden need to get ready to address one of Palin’s claims to fame, her preparations to build a natural gas pipeline, purportedly to help the USA attain energy independence (neither Alaska’s interest nor private interests in the project will get the lion’s share of attention now from the Republican team; instead we’ll hear about the national interest). A Washington Post editorial, Ms. Palin’s Pipeline, gives her conduct in the matter a glowing review.
it is too much to ask that we don’t criticize mccain by complaining that he is not sufficiently in line with reactionary gender roles? please? first it was the sugar momma, then it was about who wears the pants in his family and now this?
i listened carefully to palin’s speech – she scares the shit out of me. but it has nothing to do with whether or not she wears a skirt.
Sarah Palin seems to have performed political jiu-jitsu on John McCain rather than Barack Obama.
Mama’s boys like the attention on THEM and I wonder what McC thinks of all this. I’d bet he will reach a point that he doesn’t like it at all and we may see some fireworks. If he gets angry enough we may see her sorta disappear into the woodwork to put him out front again and that’s what we want.
Great post, bmaz. wow.
I seem to remember something about evangelicals are tired of being lied to and being used by the GOP. Will they have the collective strength to vote Dem and be forgiven? Will abortion again top the list of issues facing our country vs. the death machine in Iraq, the economy, the death of democracy?
Just curious. I did see a site for evangelicals for Obama, but many others saying Es would be “tempted” (note the loaded word) to vote for Obama and that would be bad.
Here is the video of how the Palin/McPalin call went down.Don’t forget to add the http:// in front, don’t click on what looks like the link. I don’t know what has happened, but I am unable to use the linkee link at FDL these days, just the preview. You will have to do a little pasting. Maybe someone else can link it up. Funny. Or. Not.
blog.wired.com/underwire/2008/09/lisanova.html
Bmaz you were on target last week when you addressed how the “pit bull with lipstick “has dominated a seven day media cycle. Still going on. I used to go to the blog “No quarter USa” before the nomination of Obama. Now that site has turned into an attack Obama website. Larry Johnson and Susan allow the most disgusting and below the belt comments about Obama and Michelle to be posted.
They are now a support McCain/Palin website. A real Obama “hate fest” going on over there.
In a less-than-hearty endorsement, (condy) Rice declined to say anything more positive about Palin than “she gave a terrific speech” and “she’s a governor of a state here in the United States” during her interview with Zain Verjee of CNN.
Asked point-blank if Palin has enough experience, Rice said, “These are decisions that Senator McCain has made. I have great confidence in him.” Confidence in Palin? Rice didn’t say.
Rice added: “I’m not going to get involved in this political campaign. As Secretary of State, I don’t do that. But I thought her speech was wonderful.”
So, Condi is congratulating the speech writers and Palin’s delivery of their words.
The current speech reader in the white house doen’t deliver as well a Palin; she should make a better presenter. I think it’s a big mistake to think that Palin’s words are her own and tell anything about her views.
Seems like too much maple syrup in my keyboard. I can speel ok.
Anyone here going to be near Lebanon Ohio tomorrow. McCain and Palin will be
there. Need some protesters outside. Any Vets willing to show up?
