Barf Alert! Commentary: Is McCain out of his mind?

Our favorite CNN ^ | Paul Begala

[RED SOUTH]

John McCain needs what Kinky Friedman calls "a checkup from the neck up."

In choosing Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to be his running mate he is not thinking "outside the box," as some have said. More like out of his mind.

[PetroniusMaximus]

Ohhhh.

The libs are very angry.

I wonder why?

[RED SOUTH]

The louder they moan and groan , the better we know our VP
pick to be !!!!!!!!!!!

[JohnLongIsland]

I guess “The Forehead” can’t understand how a Republican candidate didn’t pick a Democrat for the ticket.

[Northern Yankee]

They are pissed because they know they have just been outfoxed!

This will jazz up the base, and her accomplishments are more sound than Barry's.

She's prettier the Joey.

Slam dunk!

[John Valentine]

Paul Begala.... LOL!!!

At least I now know the secret identity of “GOPublius”.

[jazusamo]

RAT heads are exploding and Sarah Palin was just announced. LOL!!

[Zathras]

When the Chief Flying Monkey is upset, its a REALLY good thing.
Can't wait until Serpent Head makes some trailer park comment.

[KarlInOhio]

Was he supposed to pick Biden too?

[Hegemony Cricket]

I think this pick is really getting under some liberal skins out there - seems to be driving them crazy...

Squeal like a pig Paulie, squeal like a pig

[detective]

This is just the beginning. Look for a concentrated, choreographed effort by the MSM to portray Gov. Palin as a female Dan Quail. She will be ridiculed over and over again as a ditsy, brain dead housewife who is totally unqualified for higher office. McCain will also be criticized for his poor judgement in choosing her over a more qualified candidate. Look for Democratic women and MSM women to repeat over and over that they as women are insulted that someone as unqualified was chosen only because she is a woman. Look for Maureen Dowd to start it off.

Are they ever dumb!

They are playing right into it. The left is comparing Palin’s experience with Obama’s.

It isn’t Palin Obama is running against.

The deal is that they can’t run Obama’s experience against McCain’s.

What they left is essentially doing is saying albeit unintentionally, Obama is only fit for second-fiddle, not first chair.

They are dumb, dumb, dumb.

[mojito]

Begala is the queen of partisan sleezebags.

He is a walking nullity, a void.

He has never uttered any statement, at any time, that had any credibility.

[A Strict Constructionist]

Serpent Head is just a mutated Mycobacterium leprae so he’s afraid she might be the magic bullet for an ultimate cure.

[Signalman]

Correct. Begala is a human cipher

[OpusatFR]

Human?

[Paradox]

I sense that this is the meme that the Democrats are going to foist upon us, via the MSM. Sorta like the lack of Gravitas meme 8 years ago.

"John McCain has gone so far out of the box, that the pick is a disaster". They are going to try and hammer that home the next few days, with the MSM cheerleading for them.

What's funny is that rationally speaking, Palin for VP is far less "out of the box" than Obama for President. Its the DEMOCRATS who have gone way out of the box by choosing Obama. But you can't say that because thats racist. If Palin were a Democrat, you could be sure that any anti palin comment would be considered sexist.

BTW, does anyone remember what the MSM said about Ferarro? It would be interesting to look that up. I'll bet words like "Bold, Fresh, and invigorating" were all over the place.

[mc5cents]

To paraphrase old Billy Shakespeare: The man doth protest too much, methinks.

The dimwits are in deep deep trouble with this pick. Can't wait for Biden to play the sexist card in his debate with Sarah. This is going to be good.
