The Pali(n)ban › McCain Lies Because He Is Weak; Palin Because She Is Corrupt

John Sidney McCain, III - y’know, I keep having to ask, is that an elistist name or what? The Third? Anyway, it’s not his fault that he was born into “military aristocracy,” truly. One shouldn’t hold that against him.

Instead, hold his views against him:

* Roe v. Wade is a “really bad decision.”
* Strict constructionists for the Supreme Court, ala Antonin Scalia the worm.

The Pali(n)ban › Lipstick on a What?

It’s arrogant to think you can be president when you display such shocking ignorance of the world. When asked if being the Command-in-chief of the Alaska National Guard and being next door neighbors with Russia were sufficient experience, she dodged the question and went back to her reform of goverment statement; besides Canada and Mexico, she had never travelled outside the country before that trip to Germany and Kuwait recently. She’s never met another head of state.

In the intense world we are in right now, not having travelled or having seen a teensy fraction of the world is not a good reason to be the replacement President. Especially when your way of dealing with people with whom you don’t agree is to try to fire them. And that it’s a good thing to have never met a head of state. But it gets better.
