Yeah, it's just disappointing to read things like this and then see that the race is still as close as it is. I mean, it's like McCain is trying to destroy his own campaign - he even picked a running mate who knows less about politics than I do, which is just retarded.
the dumb thing is that they are making the calculation that if biden comes off too strong, he'll look bad. which is dumb. but just goes to show, my contempt is not for the politicians, but for voters and the way they think.
What is so unnerving about the candidacy of Sarah Palin is the degree to which she represents-and her supporters celebrate-the joyful marriage of confidence and ignorance. Watching her deny to Gibson that she had ever harbored the slightest doubt about her readiness to take command of the world's only superpower, one got the feeling that Palin would gladly assume any responsibility on earth:
"Governor Palin, are you ready at this moment to perform surgery on this child's brain?"
"Of course, Charlie. I have several boys of my own, and I'm an avid hunter."
"But governor, this is neurosurgery, and you have no training as a surgeon of any kind."
"That's just the point, Charlie. The American people want change in how we make medical decisions in this country. And when faced with a challenge, you cannot blink."
