23/6 on Sarah Palin & rape kits

The people over at 23/6 have done it again - another tragically funny video about a Republican with values more twisted than a South Philly pretzel. How long to you think it will take before Repubes say this story is a "distortion" and a product of "the lib-rul media"? About two nanoseconds.

I've said it before and I'll say it and write it again and again and AGAIN for the next 41 days, especially to the people who whine that "Palin isn't running for president!" My response is two-fold: first, it shows a stunning and breathtaking lack of judgment on McCain's part. In fact, the choice is so horrific I strongly feel it disqualifies both from being fit to serve; Palin for obvious reasons (many of which I plan on getting to soon in a separate post), and McCain because if elected, he will be nominating many cabinet level positions, as well as stocking the federal judiciary with a bunch of Palin clones.

Second, despite what people would have you believe, most notably McCain, his age is an issue. Obama can't raise the issue directly, but that doesn't mean that it couldn't and shouldn't be discussed amongst the electorate, and on the blogosphere.
