terribly early in the morning

Sarah Palin:  Could she be any less qualified?  Does John McCain know what “vetting” means?

Campbell Brown asks a simple question of Tucker Bounds, spokesman for the McCain/hahaha-Palin campaign.  He can’t think of a single thing she’s done that qualifies her, so he talks around and around and around.  It’s kind of sad to watch, but this VP pick is such a disaster, even if there weren’t any weird pregnancy lies/deception.  Apparently John McCain was thinking VPILF, instead of gee, who would be qualified should I not be in the greatest health and have to hand over the reins.  Frankly, I’m glad he picked someone who will keep the National Enquirer busy, plus I’m really really looking forward to the VP debates.  Remember that general guy who Ross Perot picked and how terrible he was in the debates?  Well, at least he had a plethora of military experience - Sarah Palin’s got nothin’.  I’ll bet Joe Biden is even more excited for the VP debates than I am, especially since he could win a debate with her while he was napping.

We still don’t know what the truth is about her daughter and the pregnancy(ies?).  What kind of mother, who has a nice cushy job as the governor of a small state (population-wise), would accept the VP nomination knowing how this was going to tear apart her daughter?  Or, maybe this is her daughter’s punishment for having sex, since her mother is such a creepy right-wing anti-choice (even if the woman was raped!), abstinence-only (sex education and birth control are B-A-D), polar bears should die (she sued to try to make sure they weren’t put on the Endangered Species list) kind of person.  Anyway, for more thorough baby drama, read up.  (scroll down a few paragraphs to the links) Oh yeah, one more baby thing - apparently her first child was born 8 months into her marriage.  Hmmm, like mother, like daughter?
