Oh dear. Does Cindy know?
After only one meeting before naming her his running mate and little to no vetting, McCain has decided that Sarah Palin is his "partner and soulmate". Ew, that's a little creepy. Can you imagine him saying that about his true partner, Joe Lieberman, if the GOP hadn't demanded he not pick Holy Joe as his running mate?
McCain continues the lies -- he must really count on the low info voter taking everything at face value -- by claiming he's been following Palin's career for years and years. Oh really? What's McCain doing following a ex-beauty queen turned small town Alaskan mayor's career, because she has hardly had enough time at the Governor's mansion to be tracked for a year, much less years and years? And she stood up against oil interests? That's not what environmentalists are saying. Being FOR drilling in ANWR is hardly standing up against the oil companies.
My favorite line? I don't particularly enjoy the label "maverick"
Yeah, rrrriiiiiiiggggghhhhhtttttt.
Transcripts below the fold:
WALLACE: Let's start with your choice of running mate. Of all the people you could have chosen, all the Republican leaders you've known for years. Straight talk, can you honestly say that Sarah Palin is the best person to put a heartbeat away from the presidency?
McCAIN: Oh yeah. She's a...she's a partner and a soulmate. [laughs] She's...she's a reformer. I don't particularly enjoy the label "maverick," but when somebody takes on the old bulls in her own party, runs against an incumbent governor of her own party, stands up against the oil and gas interests...I mean, they really are so vital to the economy of her...of the state of Alaska. I mean, it's remarkable. It's a remarkable person and I've watched her record and I've watched her for many, many years as she implemented ethics and lobbying reforms. I mean, she led on it; she didn't just vote for it. She led it, I've seen her...take on her own party. Look, one thing I know is when you take on your own party in Washington, you pay a price for it. You do. You pay a price for it.

Never been first. Am I first????
Yippee. As to my comments...maybe he wants to bang her? I mean really, it could be just a testosterone thing. So hard to figure this one out.
Yup...you could tell she was his "soulmate" by the way he was scoping out her ass....
This guy is a BUM!
mccain never meet a woman who could change a diaper like her!!
McSame picks McDame. He keeps telling bad jokes and laughing at all the wrong times. I get the feeling Mr Straight Talk thinks this whole process is a joke.
His soulmate didn't give birth 4 months ago:
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/8/30/121350/137
This sounds all too familiar when I think back to my dating years. Meet a girl briefly, talk to her on the phone, then ask her out. A few days after that, break out the sweet nothings such as "soulmate" or "partner". The only difference of course is a simple dating relationship and leaders of the free world. Kind of different I think.
I swear, McCain was napping and someone asked him, "who do want for a running mate in the upcoming election?" and all he heard was "who do you want as a mate in the upcoming erection?"
This just keeps getting wackier and wackier. I swear, this thing will get to be more drama and gossip and it will deflect everything away from shi* that has happened over the last 8 years.
She's probably much more fit than G.W.B. was - but I'm not sure if that really means anything...
Gross! Is he going to dump Cindy for a younger version? Poetic Justice.
EEEWWWWWWWW! Yuch!
Amazing. A senator from AZ following the politics of AK governor for years and years. Witnessing the start of sound byte being started. 18 months = years and years. No international policy experience = "AK near Russia implies international relations". It's gaining traction, sadly and there's more to come, I'm sure...we're all screwed.
Palin Derangement Syndrome accelerates.
What a pack of lies. Followed her career for years. She stood up to big oil. If bullshit were music McCain would be a brass band.
I think that Palin is a bit of a red herring, a distraction to take the focus off the fact that McCain intends to continue the Bush agenda.
Having the PNAC'er Randy Scheunemann in charge of his foreign policy indicates that he wants foreign policy continued, Wolfowitz style.
McCain wants to make the Bush tax cuts permanent. So, with McCain, borrow and spend economics will continue. Under Bush, the percentage of GDP enjoyed by corporate profits has never been greater - to those folks, Bush economics are working out.
McCain pledges to end a woman's right to an abortion. With one more Supreme court nominee, he can pull it off.
McCain being 4 more years of Bush is a fact, not campaign rhetoric. Palin will help motivate the evangelist turnout, which is why our side better turn out in droves.
Hold the presses! Here is your headline. McSame picks McDame!
He dislikes the label Maverick so much that he puts it in his campaign commercials.
Soulmate. The Earth is 6 thousand years old. Soulmate.
Ahoy mates
This can be construed as McCain's Bush moment when President Bush looked into Putin's eyes and saw his soul.
Saw it burning in hell, perhaps. But he liked what he saw.
Question to Johnny, Please elaborate how you see Palin as your soulmate and was it through her eyes you saw this or looking at her breasts?
The hilarity is watching McSame try to keep up with all his lies/talking points, he continually gets asked if Palin is the best candidate and he starts sputtering how great she is with real enthusiasm and its so funny to listen to what he actually says.
This one was really good, I didnt know he was in tune with PTA meetings in Wasilia AK., who knew?
What’s McCain doing following a ex-beauty queen turned small town Alaskan mayor’s career, because she has hardly had enough time at the Governor’s mansion to be tracked for a year, much less years and years?
I'll tell ya what he's doing - he's thinkin' he can get him some arctic beauty queen tail, that's what he's thinkin'.
OK. no more maverick.
how about crippled-wife-cheating-on-skirt-chasing-pole-smoking-bush-clone?
The secret service is going to have to drag Cindy off of McCains dumb ass.
Did he sign a prenup?
Actually, I can sum up his notion of soul-mate in one word: BOOBIES!!! By the way, he and the GILF were featured on Hot Chicks With Douchebags last week. Rather appropriate, if I do say so myself. The arguments were amusing...
again, until two years ago she was mayor of some one-stoplight town in the middle of nowhere. i grew up in a town of about 10,000 and our mayor was usually some local no-neck who ran the feed store or the hardware store since it was only a part-time job with a nominal salary. i couldn't have told you the name of the mayor one town over but we're supposed to believe that johnny has had his eye on palin for "years". yeah, right.
from the HCwDB site:
"Honorary Hot Chick with Douchebag of the Month: McCain/Palin
Not since the Bush/Quayle pairing of 1988 have a douche and a hot chick run for office together.
For crotchety oldbag whining, for telling me to get off his lawn, and for picking a former beauty queen as his #2, John McCain earns this month's honorary HCwDB of the Month.
Politicalbags aren't my favorite subject around here, mainly because so few of them actually snag attractive hotties.
Proving the adage that Washington really is Hollywood for ugly people, as well as for conceptually douching it up rather than featuring physical markers of douchebaggery, Politicalbags tend to bore me.
But for today's idiotic selection, lets give John McCain a hearty douche of the month award. You've earned it, old wrinkly guy. Not to mention dumping your first wife for a 24 year old beer heiress. Your history of wonky douchitude is a long and inglorious one, Keating #5.
And yes, Sarah Palin, you are the milfy librarian hott that revs my motorboat even at your advanced age. And while my lust for your sharp librarian looks may be a sexist invalidation of all that you've accomplished professionally, I really don't have to worry. Because you haven't really accomplished anything professionally."
Canuknotusa @ 8:
Yeah, but Palin isn't the top of the ticket, McCain is and I don't think McCain is even close to being as fit as G.W.B. was. That is also considering that I never imagined that there would be another candidate anywhere as bad/unfit as Bush. But McCain makes Bush look like a halfway decent, reasonable candidate. He is miles, leagues, lightyears, even parsacs beyond Bush in terms of being unfit to be our president. As bad as Palin is, she is probably the more qualified of the two on the Republican ticket. Huh? So maybe McCain did us a favor, giving us someone who was far better than he is. McCain won't last through his first term, but then I said the same of Cheney who had had two heart attacks before he was nominated and then two more in quick succession when he assumed office. Maybe Satan gave McCain the same deal he gave Cheney, that he wouldn't die in office.
Just wrote about this. The evidence is mounting that they did no vetting whatsover, that McCain just did a gut check and roll the dice. Leave Sarah Palin's kids alone and talk about whether or not this sort of high-rolling gambling mentality belongs in the White House.
Not meaning to point out the obvious, since the McCain and Co don't think the VP will be taking over for the P, do you think it possible that the real motives are 1) to swing pro-life voters 2) swing NRA voters 3) energize crazy base and 4) GET PALIN OUT OF BIG OIL'S WAY IN ALASKA. With Palin gone, they can go about their business with the CBC(Corrupt Bastards Club).
This man is not only bordering on senility, he is also a lying, delusional asshole. Anyone who casts their vote for the McCain/Palin ticket is an absolute cretin.
Soulmate?
How about Checkmate. Presidential race over, you old fool.
U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 10:
Just in case you were wondering while Alaska's proximity to Russia doesn't mean jack squat.
Sorry, bungled the link where I just wrote about this.
Did you hear what he said. I've watch her for many,many years. She only been Governor for 20 months. Maybe it was a Freudian slip.
The first spin I heard was the "impressive" stat that she's got experience because she runs the "biggest state in the union."
Impressive until you realize that means big as in square miles. With slightly more than 600,000 people, the state of Alaska is about the size of the city of Milwaukee, and about a third of its metro population.
In other words, tiny. Less than 0.002 of the population of the U.S.
odanny @ 19:
Not to pass by the fact that Cindy's Johnny in replying to Wallace over Palin's qualifications. It was in how Johnny generally generalized Palin's reforming of state Gov't.
You see, the Alaskan state legislature proudly call themselves the
" corrupt bastards club".
If they are doing corrupt illegal things. All you do is make it legal and, wallah ! Reform has cleaned up the corruption.
It is that simple..............................
Gosh there really is something wrong with the guy. To say something like that is unreal. I have been married 30 yrs and I consider my husband my soulmate and that took more than 1 or 2 visits. If I were Cindy I would worry about him.
Keep your eyes on mccains pants.
Liberal heartache: "If only we had someone like Sarah Barracuda!"
It'd be all over but the shouting.
If only.
And I simply loathe talking about MY FIVE AND A HALF YEARS AS A PRISONER OF WAR. Really.
"She's my soulmate" said McMayberry. "Now let's go fishin', Opie."
It is common wisdom the MSM are generally lazy they don't really want to have to write the Republicans narrative because it was so awful.
So McCain camp cranks out a new scrip overnight and boys and girls we are back in business with some good stuff to say out loud in front of a cameras.
Maverick 2, a hunter, a mother,a reformer and wants creationism taught in the public schools.
It's perfect, look look,a shiny conservative and you can get them to easily forget they hate John McCain's guts.
McCain is such a shamelss flip-flopping liar, I'm amazed that anyone would believe a single word he utters.
Sub-pathetic!
"I don't particularly enjoy the label maverick".
L
O
L
He is desperate to be thought of as maverick again. He's even pushing it himself now. The thing about nicknames is you can't give them to yourself, nor push them for yourself. Everyone knows this. When you push them, they lose their power.
John "Sidekick" McSame is his new identity.
dennis @ 12:
Dirty Old Man/Viagra user , continues to prove that he's unworthy of the office of the president ............
BTW
Aren't you one of the Chimpy nut huggers who claimed that there was such a thing as "Bush Derangement Syndrome" , too , dennis ?
Looks as though you've been infected with Chimpy Adoration Syndrome ; a completely mentally debilitating disease ...........
ron @ 33:
Cindy it looks like your time is up.... You are getting up there in age.
But because you are rich it is probably safe to say he won't leave just cheat on.
The man couldn't keep his eyes off of PTA Member's ASS during her introduction.
I was vice president of my 7th and 8th grade science club. Can I be U.S.V.P??? Please????
This is so surreal. I cannot believe what I am hearing. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do (Twilight Zone).
johnbpt @ 45:
Soulmate? Once upon a time there was a press in the United States that would have called a politician out for uttering BS like this.
Mike Murphy calls her "Jesse Helms in a dress."
dennis @ 38:
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
What in the hell does Dan Quayle's former speech writer , Lisa Schiffren , know about anything , especially how a liberal feels or views Sarah Palin ?
BTW
It is all over but the shouting ; do you stupidly believe that any Hillary voters that might have had the slightest bit of interest in Palin being put on the ticket with McDepends , is going to be the least bit interested in the sorry duo after seeing/hearing/reading this statement by the dirty old adulterer ?
Good luck kidding yourself into believing your own bullshit ..................
bamboozled @ 34:
And half of them look like they are on Meth.
It's entirely possible that he's been spending his time sniffing around the capital of Alaska, Juneau? He sure hasn't been doing anything in Worshtun, fer cryin' out loud!
Well, Palin is a pro-creationist who thinks that the founding fathers wrote the pledge of allegiance (and wrote it with "under god" included), and thinks man-made global warming is a liberal science conspiracy.
McCain finished at the bottom of his class.
"Soulmates" indeed. All that's needed is a 3-way hug with the Shrub.
Palin is a smoke screen. We are ginning up the Georgia/Russian conflict to cause havoc during the few months into the election. C. Rice isn't even trying to talk to the Russians. Palin for VP? John McCain only meets her once and refers to her as his soul mate? Republicans raving about her experience? This does not make sense. While we are all looking over here, the administration is getting ready to cause trouble there. Could delayed elections be in the offering?
How McCain really selected Palin.
dennis @ 38:
If we had somebody like Sarah Palin as a Democrat I would change to the Green party. You can have her and her neo fascist agenda and official misconduct investigation, pal. Of course you Repubs had some other winners recently---like Katherine Harris--the dupe that couldn't think straight. Way to go.
General Jack D. Ripper @ 47:
Maybe if you can parlay the science club gig into a governor position in your state and then garner an 80% approval rating for fighting corruption in your own party, General.
I'd think about changing names first, too. Jack the Ripper just doesn't play well in all that many places.
And heck, why start with VP? Why not go for the top of the ticket in the Democratic Party. I'm sure you've got sound judgment, and I'm sure you're on record somewhere saying you were against the Iraq War, right??? Talk about Twilight Zone surreal.
McMoron is just another programmable neocon robot and his soulmate is a moron as well. A match made in hell.
Otay @ 54:
I just threw up a little in my mouth.
Palin was probably feeling the gag reflex reacting when he said "soulmate". Well I certainly hope she was anyway. I guess she'll have to keep putting up with all this bullshit to get her 15 minutes of fame in this world. Hey, after all the is over, I bet she will divorce her husband and leave Alaska and go on the speaker and talk show circuits and make millions.
Was McPOW indoctrinated while he was in the hands of the Viet Cong? Is he the Manchurian Candidate?
Or is he just on some killer meds.
dennis @ 38:
What base is excited? Who besides pundits? Not one republican I know is happy about this. I went fishing with some Air Force vets this afternoon who are all conservatives and they think it's the dumbest thing they have ever seen. One of the guys said it would be completely irresponsible to vote for this ticket. You think I had a good time with a bunch depressed republicans ? I'm lucky they didn't throw me into the lake as gar bait.
Clearly, McSame wants to stick his McDick in the loony Christian fundy's McTwat. McYuck.
Yuck.....The SNL skit in which he played a creepy character just flashed through my head when reading this.
Hey McCain, I'm going to lend a hand on this one.
Just say she's a "kindred spirit."
Soul mate implies way too much intimacy, generally creeps us out and reminds us that you're losing it.
To those who have questioned my name lately.....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Strangelove_or:_How_I_Learned_to_Stop_W...
What an egotistical bastard. What he is saying is that I am god-like and I approve this woman (a soul mate) therefore she passes the celestial test.
Megalomania personified. Plus, soul mate?, creepy because it is used in our society today as a romantic term. Is he not aware of this or is he trying to impress her? Or maybe Obama is right. This guy is so out of touch with reality, he doesn't have a clue as to what he is doing.
Isn't it amazing that with men, the prettier the girl the more likely she is to be a soul mate? My gosh, is McCain totally adrift from the republican establishment as far as being advised about saying stupid things. He has broken out of the asylum and is on the loose. And there isn't a moose in Alaska that is safe.
"I've watched her for many, many years?" Really??????
Wouldn't it be an absolute KICK if McSame left the white witch like he did his outdated crippled wife and started shack'n up with Palin who would in turn leave her working class hubby...
Hey, I wonder if McCain was watching Sarah Palin during those five years when he didn't have a kitchen table?
In your dreams old man.
Well, maybe old Johnny playboy is back and ready to dump Cindy Lou. Yep, I bet the old philanderer is pretty excited about Ms. Sarah being his running mate. Looking forward to seeing her at the office will get that old ticker of his going. In fact, we were talking at dinner tonight about the obvious lack of affection between John McCain and his wife. Anyone else notice. After all, he did call her a trollup and a c**t in in public. I've noticed the McCains never seem to hug, kiss, touch, hold hands, make eye contact, or show any other signs of genuine affection for one another. In fact, he recently offered her up to participate in some disgusting biker momma contest. Clearly, McCain has no respect for women. What them closely when in public. Cindy just stands stiffly at his side like a nice trophy wife. Contrast that with the Obama's, where there's obviously a great deal of affection and mutual respect.
dennis @ 58:
What is it with you GOP/Chimpy ball mongers and your incessant and habitual need to lie ?
Palin's approval rating is 67% , and currently FALLING .................
BTW
"Jack" would never be allowed on the GOP ticket ; he's got an IQ in triple digits........
MCMetal @ 73:
Thanks so much, McMetal..... you could be my soulmate!
Once again, I'll also tell that GOP person about myself: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Strangelove_or:_How_I_Learned_to_Stop_W...
Read about the plot! I'm a movie actor!!!!!
John! She ain't all that. Twenty years ago she was a 6 or 7 (if she swallows).
I eventually dragged my eyes upward, and saw my soul mate in her -- uh -- heh! -- eyes. That's the ticket.
McCain is so full-of-it! Give me a break!
Maybe Johnny McViagra is already tapping Sarah!! Huh? Huh? Never know...politics makes for some strange bedfellows!
yeah, I know my colleagues at work we call each soulmates all the time. NOT.
How fucking creepy is it when someone you barely know and the opposite sex offers you a job and calls you his soulmate.
ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
Maybe he meant solemate. Maybe they both wear $550 shoes.
MCMetal @ 73:
Thanks, McMetal!
I've tried to reply several times, but my posts aren't showing up. Can't figure it out...maybe that's because I had a hyperlink in my reply?
Anyway, for that GOPer out there, and others who have questioned my name, please Google it...and, my middle name is "D.", not "The"!
Gary @ 1:
Never been 76th. Am I 76th?
And finally, a VPILF!!!
missed it. damn.
Palin is McBush's Soul Mate? Ahhh! Now I understand why he keeps taking his wedding ring on and off while standing next to her when she speaks.
Project much John?
When Cindy finds out, he will be sleeping in the 13th house she bought him.
The Dog House. But, please Gods and Goddesses...not the White House.
I don’t understand why everybody is so down on this match.
I thought Sarah Polley gave a great performance accompanying the Baron Muenchhausen.
Oh dear. Does Cindy know?
Good call!
And they called Ross Perot insane.
Unless Gramps proves otherwise he is a sexual harasser.
Wolfsinger @ 83:
It is safe to say Cindy wears the pants in that family. She owns everything. I doubt if he would be so lucky to be sleeping in a dog house. More likely "sleeping" that last, long sleep.
I thought it was a joke, when someone said McCain was checking out her ass when she accepted, but there it is.
His saying ""I've followed her for years and years".
OK, "years" is at least 2, so "Years and years" must be at least 4, so where was she 4 years ago, and why was he following her?
It's so bloody transparent.
You can hear them in the war room: "There are a lot of disgruntled women out there who wanted Hillary. We'll choose a woman VP and they'll flock to us."
Palin even praised Hillary in her speech.
They seem to forget that:
a) people don't vote purely based on gender
b) Hillary had experience, the one thing Palin has absolutely none of
c) a good percentage of people will see right through this choice
Fleece @ 86:
Our standards have slipped since then.
MCMetal @ 73:
Read it and weep, McMetal. Sarah Palin Approval Ratings
A poll published by Hays Research on July 28, 2008 showed Palin's approval rating at 80 percent, while another Ivan Moore poll showed it at 76 percent, a drop which the pollsters attributed to the controversial firing of Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan. A subsequent Rasmussen Reports poll from July 31, 2008 showed 35 percent of Alaskans rated her performance as excellent, 29 percent good, 22 percent fair, and 14 percent poor.(86% approval)
Desperation on McCain's part, indeed. How could he have ever known the liberal netroots would be critical of his new soulmate? What was he thinking?
August 10, Karl Rove went on Face the Nation to argue that Barack Obama should not pick Virginia governor Tim Kaine because he's only been a governor for three years. He was merely mayor of the 105th largest city in America, Richmond, Virginia. "So, if he were to pick Governor Kaine, it would be an intensely political choice where he said, 'You know what? I'm really not, first and foremost, concerned with, is this person capable of being president of the United States.'"
So what is Rove saying now about McCain's choice of a "hockey mom" for his vice presidential running mate?
McCain is 72 and has had FOUR bouts of cancer. He may not even live through the first year in office. That means this woman who's been governor for twenty months, of a state with less people than live in Brooklyn, would be the leader of the free world. Huh??
What about other Republican women-- Senators Kay Bailey Hutchinson, Olympia Snowe, or Liddy Dole-- who are far more qualified in national and international affairs? Why weren't they chosen if having ovaries was the main criteria?
So Cindy isn't his soul mate? He just admitted that she is his financier. Well Cindy, I am glad you had a prenuptial. If you keep taking this, you are a Stepford wife. As if we didn't know. The least of your troubles is Obama pointing out all your houses. Start paying attention to John who doesn't know how many houses you bought for him.
Jo @ 91:
I beg your pardon. Our standards haven't slipped. We have just lowered the bar. You know the place you go to have a shot and a beer with you nominee.
He must have been stalking her those many, many years, since they only met once prior to this asinine decision.
skyreader7 @ 93:
That's good point. Why -would- Cindy want to stand in line behind John's new twice met "Soul Mate"? She doesn't strike me as being a very deep person but this says even more about the shallowness that is John McCain.
I doubt Cindy will miss the now recurring history of her husband. Dumped first wife for financial opportunity in Blonde hair.
Today, he can't keep his wedding ring on his finger when seeing new political power opportunity in a Brunette!
He doesn't like the label "maverick"..........he prefers "POW"...
dennis @ 92:
Unfortunately that poll was taken BEFORE Troopergate began.
Makes me wonder how well SARAH will do next year at Sturgis??
Aside from the "yuck" factor, it is clear that McLame isn't in charge of his campaign or anything that is happening with it. There was a time when he took control of a conversation as he knew what he wanted to say but these days you hear him and he isn't passionate about anything, even Palin. He is just repeating soundbites that he has been either told to say or makes up as he goes along, as in "years and years". That's why he sounds so out of touch, because he is.
The Rethug machine isn't going to give up easliy and to get elected he has sold his soul to them. It's a shame and must be eating him up every day. What goes around, comes around old man.
Soul mate? Republicans are a weird bunch. From what I heard he'd only met her once before and so he chose her because they're soul mates? What?
A soul mate? I can't handle four more years of this shit.
He's been following her for "years and years"? What, he keeps track of all the mayors of podunk towns around the country? That's clearly a lie. Why couldn't he just be honest and say he's followed her career since she became Governor, that he was super impressed by her maverick-ness, etc? Doesn't he know that someone willing to lie about lots of little things will also lie about the big things? (Yes, EZ and Dennis, Clinton was/is a liar, so I'll go ahead and concede that point. But Clinton didn't try to win over America by parading around his superduper "honor".)
dennis @ 92:
If you follow the footnote at that Wikipedia page, you'll see that 404 people responded to that poll giving her an 80% approval rating! 404 people! That wouldn't even fill an elementary school. Oh, sorry, in Alaska it would.
Gary @ 2:
Personally, I think he's overdosing on Viagra. Remember how he almost threw a psychotic fit when a woman asked him about insurance companies covering Viagra, but not birth control?
The man's head almost exploded. He looked like he wanted to kill the woman asking the question.
What's that old expression?
"Thou Dost Protest Too Much".
McCain thinks he has something to prove. I wouldn't be surprised if he was looking to hammer her. You can see in Palin's acceptance speech that McCain was looking at her ass.
First he dumps a crippled wife for another woman, then he's looking for some new tail.
McCain.... Classy guy (sarcasm).
This idiot is dillusional. WAKE UP MORONS!! Holy sheeet! Is this idiot for real? His wife is bad enough, but I'll bet he sleeps in a different bed for a few nights after the "she's my soulmate" gaffe.
IDIOT!!! You make the butthead in the White House look like the smartest one in the class. That's damn hard to do too.
Douche bag says what. McCain watched Palin for years? Doing what? Handing out Market Day at the PTA. McCain must really follow small town politics to follow her being mayor of town of 7000 people. With all of her accomplishments you would think she was governor for more then 20 months. The Moose shit is getting deep.
Please. McCain has known his pair of underwear longer he has known Palin. I have had a longer interview for my job.
The video at Jed Report shows McPOWs eyes burning holes in the main attribute Palin brings to the ticket. A nice ass. He is unfit for the presidency.
Jo @ 60:
Hey, we all know Chimpy would be into it. After all, he was giving old Jeff Gannon the 'bad touch' all the time.... allegedly.
dennis @ 92:
Great news Dennis, she might help Mc Lame carry Alaska with their three electoral votes. What a godsend---just think, you only need 267 more. Of course, since she is under investigation for misconduct, maybe she and Stevens can be cellmates instead of soulmates.
Go back and watch McCain announce his pick for VP. He looks into the camera and says, "I'd like to introduce you to the next Vice President of the United States" (looks down and reads off card) "Sarah Palin".
He had to read his soul-mate's name?
Dastius Krazitauc @ 113:
Good eyes! Did he pronounce her name correctly, at least?
FG @ 106:
Uh, those 404 people were probably her entire constituency. Or those they could pull out of the tundra, teach how to use a mouse, and point and click on a spot they could not understand - for a Budweiser.
And they probably all belong to her dominionist church where they teach flat-earth science and all that high-tech stuff.
When he first introduced her you could see him checking out Palin's ass while trying to take off his wedding ring.
Uncle Pervy is creepy.
McCain was looking down her shirt in the speech she gave yesterday. So much for soul mate. I didn't see the whole speech, though. It was so screechy that the cat gave me a look she gives me when I play the harmonica, then stepped on the remote and turned the television off.
FG @ 114:
I think he said Sarah Pile-on, he was thinking of what he wanted to do to her.

Ruthless People @ 119:
...look at Cindy checking out her watch at the :42 mark. The bitch does go on doesn't she.
In the race to the bottom with the McSame McMediocrity, Repubs have found rightful heiress in Palin...a reincarnation of Quayle. McQuayle McPalin.
dennis @ 94:
Yes those poll numbers are just fantastic:
USA Today/Gallup
Poll: Voters uncertain on Palin
There is also wide uncertainty about whether she's qualified to be president. In the poll, taken Friday, 39% say she is ready to serve as president if needed, 33% say she isn't, and 29% have no opinion.
That's the lowest vote of confidence in a running mate since the elder George Bush chose then-Indiana senator Dan Quayle to join his ticket in 1988. In comparison, Delaware Sen. Joe Biden was seen as qualified by 57%-18% after Democrat Barack Obama chose him as a running mate last week.

Rasmussen Reports:
Just 29% of voters say Palin is ready to be president if necessary, ten points below the 39% who said the same a week ago about Biden, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and a 36-year member of the Senate. Fifty-one percent (51%) of Republican voters say she is ready along with 32% of unaffiliated voters and 11% of Democrats.

Let's all just hope that her deposition in the investigation goes well... maybe she can squash it before they find anything and impeach her.

Look, deep into the crystal ball ... darkness ... I see trouble ahead ... a woman ... an angry woman ... no, wait ... two angry women ...
This war dog definitely has a rocket in his pocket for soulmate Sarah.
I hear McCain just bought a years supply of "Vitalis"

I wish I could wake the f*ck up from this nightmare! It just keeps getting worse.
i know bosses who act like McCain when it comes to hiring good looking girls before experience.

That is great! LMAO.
I hope somebody somewhere is recording all the McCain inanities, lies, and gaffes, but this latest one totally blows the mercury out of the top of the Bulls++t Meter.

He said the same thing about Guiliani.

If you really want a crowd pleaser you can dress it up with:
3 dashes of intolerance
a sprinkle of moral superiority
McCain did seem struck by her. Maybe it's time for wife #3. It did appear that McCain was working hard to remove his wedding ring when he introduced Sarah Palin.
I must confess, I am waiting for the "Dynasty"-style catfight between Cindy and Sarah.
"Oh dear. Does Cindy know?"
lol The question is does Cindy have a GPS on Johnny? Soulmate? Spare me. We don't know Palin yet to declare Geezer McSame and Gidget Palin as "soulmate" when he met her only once. Lieberman and McSame as soulmate, yes. Palin? No. This is going to be an interesting race. I saw Biden and Obama on 60 minutes tonight. Awesome interview. They both have chemistry. What is interesting that McCain and Palin were asked for an interview. And Steve Kroft said that the interview will be "at another time." Sounds like the two "soulmates" aren't ready to come out for an interview.
Ruthless People @ 132:
Add in the 2 sides of hypocrisy and arrogance and you have a Neocon feast.
A ship in harbor is safe, but that’s not why the ship is built:( Palin's quote from her speech on Friday.) The full quote is from Walt Whitman : A ship is safe in the harbor, but what is the purpose of a ship?
Plagiarism, anyone?
hes been watching her for many, many years????
what a dirty old man
cuz before her being gov, she was on some podunk committee, and before that was the mayor of a podunk town
and the baby aint hers
and she is a lying skank
Margie @ 137:
Why give proper credit for others' work when you can claim it as your own---that's the Neocon way.
What a duo - McSame and Plain. I think McCain also was to run the PTA.
Of course McCain thinks the American people are stupid. Because the republicans keep getting elected presuming the American people are stupid, and it WORKS!
Quit looking at this like intelligent, issue-oriented voters, because you are not the majority. See this through the proven Rove formula of impacting three-second attention span low-information voters. To the dispirited right wing, she is everything a candidate should be in spades, so she energizes them. To the distracted independents, she's a woman, a novelty, an historical opportunity and further proof of McCain's Maverick image. Yes, if you analyze this choice, it's a disaster. THE MAJORITY OF AMERICAN VOTERS DO NOT ANALYZE; THEY REACT.
This thing could work.

still speechless.
He’s been following her for “years and years”? I'm sure he has along with the numerous other young babes on the internet. I was grocery shopping today and over the sound system, something caught my attention:
"You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the dancing queen".
Of course I started laughing and I'm sure many around me were wondering why as it reminds me of McSame and how ridiculous it is that his campaign selected that song to be his favorite based on intense musical popularity research. What a fake. The guy probably listens to 1930's gangster music if any at all.
You all must be dumb ass democrats to be talking like this and must all live your lives by the crap that one news agancy feed you. Some advice - get a life and watch, listen, and read more than one source of news and get the hell out of the holes that you live in or the Starbucks that you holed yourselves up in.
Ruthless People @ 133:
You forgot the sugary sweet hypocrisy glaze...
Gerry @ 145:
What we should go with your news source that probably enables the lie that our Forefathers wrote the Pledge of Allegiance?
Gerry @ 145:
By more than "one news agancy feed you" do you mean we should all just watch FOX?
By the way... Shouldn't that be "one news agency feeds you" ?
What McCain says doesn't even make sense. He's talking as if she were a member of congress! Probably the republicans are just going to make up a background story for her and then just keep repeating it over and over until it becomes true. Republican campaign rule: If you repeat a lie enough times it becomes true.
Must be the same premonition he had 25 years ago when he told a teenage Mikheil Saakashvili, "boy, you're gonna be president," even if he never mastered the prodigy's name.
