(9,895 posts)That sun-fried asshat from the desert inflicted Sarah Palin on the world the day after the 2008 Democratic Party Convention...so bite my pole Trumpster Fire, as usual, you are full of shit.
Reminds me of the 70's era Cheech and Chong LP that had a skit with the "Shredder Monster" ("tapes! tapes! I love tapes!" and the punchline : "Shit. Shit. Big Dick is full of shit!"

(4,558 posts)McCain did get a huge bump from announcing Palin when he did. Shortly after August 29th, 2008, for the first time since the GE season kicked off, McCain took the lead in the polls. It was also the last time he would.
Fortunately for us, she then commenced to opening her mouth.. and the polls went down.. so she opened her mouth again.. and the polls went down again.. rinse and repeat.
ahh for the "I can see Russia from my house" days.

That is exactly how I remembered it. The look on McCain's face, started out pleased and proud, then gradually turned into an icy grimace as he watched his political ambitions go down the drain. "What the hell have I done?"
