As if it couldn't get any worse for Palin...


As if it couldn't get any worse for Sarah Palin, the embattled GOP Vice Presidential Nominee, she has sat down for another interview with Katie Couric, but this time she has her dad babysitter running mate with her, John McCain. I can't wait to hear the hackneyed cries of lib-rul media from Republicans, because in this segment (like many others from last week) she comes across as beyond pathetic. Quickly now - does any American with an ounce of gray matter want her sitting across the table from a world leader making life and death decisions? It's a real possibility if the Palin/McCain McCain/Palin ticket wins on Nov. 4. To say the least, McCain has not been forthright about his health, nor has he released his health records.

And for the record, these were hardly hard hitting questions. But, it certainly is a legit one to ask about Pakistan, since McCain was so vehement in denouncing Barack Obama's stance on Pakistan during last Friday's debate.

Again, it's a typical Republican meme - whenever you're asked something unpleasant or you're exposed for being uninformed or just plain stupid, it's all the media's fault! The scary part about it is that it largely works to an unwitting public - the vast majority of voters make critical voting decisions based on 30-second political ads and political catchphrases.
