Is this the headline we'll read in the next day or two?
Does John McCain have any other choice than to ask Mrs. Pitbull to take her lipstick and go back to shoo the Russians back on their side of the border the next time they take a wrong turn?
Sarah Pitbull had said she would cooperate with the investigators in Alaska. She didn't. Her husband refused to testify in person. It's impossible, of course, to cross-examine a sworn affidavit; that paper just won't talk back. The investigators determined that she had abused the powers of her office as Governor. Is that what this country wants for an elected official one heartbeat away from the big chair in the Oval Office?
Someone pass the Tums, please. McCain & Company must have been having serious heartburn over the past week, as it became clear that the investigators would present their report to the legislative commission on Friday and not be stymied by maneuvering by the McCain crowd. Three cheers for the commission that didn't run and hide on Friday.
Why didn't Sarah testify? Why didn't First Dude testify? They didn't even step up and take the Fifth, and I don't mean Jim Beam.
Sarah probably won't even be welcome when she rides the snowmobile back to Wasilla, except by the "Say it ain't so, Joe" crowd, who won't believe a word in the report. It's too bad that the 1,000-page Confidential portion of the report won't reach the public (until someone leaks it or it gets challenged). What's in it?
Sort of looks to me like Sarah won't be just another pretty face in Washington.
Okay, John, now get busy and pick a qualified person to be your running mate. No doubt that your team has given you a short list of replacements. Except you might save your time and money. Your error in picking The Barracuda has probably done you irreparable harm.

Let me start by saying that I do not like either presidential candidate and see no reason to vote for either. Having said that, I think events have occurred in the last few weeks that will conspire to guarantee that McCain is history. Palin's Trooper Gate is just the final nail. The bigger problem is of course the economy. McCain who has voted lock step with our retarded president dubbya will offer no relief. No, I do not blame Dubbya for it all, plenty of blame to go around to both sides of the aisle, but the perception is that the man in charge caused it all. (Had the McCain and Bushypoo plan to privatize social security to 401k plans been successful a while back, there would be a lot more people left with very little right now.)
But, I think intuitively, most people will blame our problems on the huge spending on an unwanted war, and that is clearly a Dubbya decision that McCain has backed 100%. I know it is not entirely rational to blame the economic problems ENTIRELY on the war, but certainly it has a role to play. Look, we all know somebody has to pay for it. And we all know who 'somebody' is. Us.
Bush has been nothing short of arrogant, and the Republican party in general will feel the brunt of a backlash against them as they did in the last election that cost them control of congress. This will continue in this election I am certain. Too bad that some good candidates will be swept aside simply due to party affiliation, but that is the way of things.
On the other hand, maybe some housecleaning is a good thing once in a while. I am an optimist, so let's hope so.
