McCain won’t allow himself to react to this because he can’t admit the magnitude of his mistake.

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) defended the controversial enhanced interrogation technique of waterboarding this weekend, and implied that the practice would still be commonplace “if I were in charge.”

“They obviously have information on plots to carry out Jihad,” she said at the National Rifle Association (NRA) annual meeting on Saturday evening, referring to prisoners. “Oh, but you can’t offend them, can’t make them feel uncomfortable, not even a smidgen. Well, if I were in charge, they would know that waterboarding is how we baptize terrorists.”

Dumber than a bag of hammers. Unfortunately, equally as blunt.

* 5 planes

* KEATING 5

* USS Forestal disaster (if he doesn't *do* things, & we don't know, he always seems to be AROUND)

* his world view in being a Rethug

* not passing any camera and mic without stopping


And many many more things...

Unleashing a rabid dog (Sarah). If he didn't choose her, she'd be some obscure Alaska governor.

I get so tired of these republicans claiming to believe in God but acting like the devil himself.

...for giving birth to Sarah Palin and laying her on our doorstep like an abandoned baby.

She is a creation of your decision that put her a heartbeat away from the presidency.

You should be ashamed of yourself and if you had any testicular fortitude left within you, you would step up and speak out

against this most dangerous Dominionist twit.
