No wonder John McCain likes Sarah Palin
Brilliant at Breakfast —
She's a mean-spirited, nasty piece of work -- just like him. From the Anchorage Daily News, January 27, 2008: The governor's appearance on KWHL's "The Bob and Mark Show" last week is plain and simple one of the most unprofessional, childish and inexcusable performances I've ever seen from a politician. Anchorage DJ Bob Lester unleashed a vicious, mean-spirited, poisonous attack on Senate President Lyda Green last week while our governor was live on the air with him. When we played the tape on my show the day after it happened, we received 130 calls. Even some Palinbots were disgusted. [snip] Early on in the ...

What About The Vice-President's Temperament?
Daily Kos —
John McCain apparently wanted to have a mini-me be a 72-year-old heartbeat away from the presidency.

(Laughter) That’s an excellent question. Via commenter Fro, we learn that it's no surprise then that McCain would pick someone who has exhibited similar disregard for human decency. Here's Palin, former mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, showing off why she ...

The Huffington Post | Full News Feed —
Early this year, an op-ed in the Anchorage Daily News ripped into Gov. Sarah Palin's appearance on a morning "shock jock" radio show as "plain and simple one of the most unprofessional, childish and inexcusable performances I've ever seen from a politician."

This election season has offered us a dizzying set of intertwined, overlapping and contradictory storylines. And just when it all seemed to be cohering, John McCain tossed us Sarah Palin, a stock 19th century melodramatic ingénue. I guess McCain hopes that Palin will take to the post-post-modern stage and turn his foes and critics into so many Snidely Whiplashes.
