Did McCain Choose His Running Mate Based on Who Would Provide the Most Entertainment for DU?
I'm seriously beginning to run out of other explanations.

This lady is almost perfect:

-The whole strange pregnancy saga, including flying 7 hours while in labor, and finally the disclosure of the teenage daughter's pregnancy

-Subordinating the rule of law for purposes of escalating a family dispute by unlawfully pressuring the public safety commissioner to fire her ex-brother-in-law

-The completely bizarre revelation that she's a pro-Alaska Manchurian candidate

-Her snowmobilin' husband Daryl's DUI

-Screwing up the whole "maverick" label by getting endorsements from Ted Stevens; supporting the Bridge to Nowhere; and, as mayor of Wasilla, hiring a lobbying firm to secure $15 million in funding for a rail project for a town of 6000

-Advocating the slaughter of polar bears so that the poor oil companies have more room to drill

-The claim that she's got foreign policy experience cuz she lived kinda close to Russia

I think we all owe John McCain a big debt of gratitude for this one. This is great! The surprises just never stop coming!

7. McCain knew WE had a bad time during the last 4 years. HE WANTS US TO HAVE FUN.
GEES..............LOOK AT ALL THE SLEAZY STUFF THERE IS ABOUT PALIN ON THIS WEBSITE.

I think they really DISLIKE her. PALIN makes up the top 3 stories.

15. It's been the most entertaining weekend I've had this year!
Mostly it's work of some type, business of some type, my summer was consumed with business & BAM! When I finally get one weekend, THIS is what I get.... I mean it just doesn't get any better IMHO... All the wheels have fallen off the bus and they're on life support.

I SERIOUSLY hope they keep this woman somehow, it's just too damn entertaining...

4. I think McCain took his Viagra on accident instead of his mental health meds
before he made his decision to pick her. It's like Christmas watching this all implode.

8. Not to rain on your parade...but do you think he's this smart?
He was FIFTH from the BOTTOM of his class in college!!!!!! Maybe he has some crafty campaign advisiors...who knows????

ME? I think he's just a total loser! No smarts at all! His choice of a running mate was just another classic example of his inability to be a leader and his total stupidity. End of story.

12. Well, McCain/Palin apparently made the hotchickswithdoucebags website...
Which is a funny website run by Jay Louis who is an author of a book by the same name, which makes fun of loser self-absored guys with better looking halves. Both funny and appropriate.

17. SERIOUSLY, what was it supposed to deflect attention from?
Edited on Tue Sep-02-08 12:48 AM by petgoat
Maybe the NIST report on 47-story WTC building 7?

Almost 7 years now, they can't explain it.

Now they admit:

1) no airplanes hit it

2) damage from flying tower debris didn't hurt it

3) diesel fires from emergency generator fuel were not an issue


What's their claim? Asymmetrical fires--asymmetrical office fires--
brought the tower straight down. Here's how:

They heated up floors around one of the central columns,
the floors fell down, eight floors fell down, the column,
deprived of cross bracing, buckled.

Forty floors around that unfortunate column fell down, pulling
down two adjacent columns.

Three columns pulled down the other 21 core columns.

Does this sound like the old discredited pancake theory about the towers?



But get this, the most unbelievable thing. So the 24 core columns fall down
inside the building, giving no signs on the exterior walls. And then the empty
shell of the walls falls down, free-fall speed, right down into a neat pile at
its own feet.

That's what NIST wants you to believe.

18. NO, they want to lose
They've made their money, they've bankupted congress, removed all consumer protection from industry, let the infrastructure rot and turned America into a theocracy. NOw they're gonna sit around and wait for Obama to fix it. The Amurican public will vote them back in.

19. This has been most entertaining indeed
I still cannot believe that McGrumpster actually freakin picked this time bomb for his VP running mate. Somewhere, somehow you know Obama and Biden are laughing their asses off...they just have too much class to say it in public.

succeeded in doing something right. This has been hilarious. The whole thing is like a pilot for some weird sitcom where an extended family of yahoos move into the White House, sort of along the lines of the Beverly Hillbillies.

Edited on Tue Sep-02-08 01:29 AM by jcla
making up this Palin nightmare/dream story and I will wake up and McShame will have picked as serious running mate ... like Rush Limbaugh or Joe Lieberman....

Just what we need a corrupt secessionist fundie who hates Roe v. Wade and Gays and polar bears.... This has Got to be a nightmare/dream. All we need is pictures of her clubing harp seal pups and shooting Gays, polar bears and wolves for the fun of it....God has got to have a sense of humor. And She is laughing Her clouds off.
