The Newsiest News
News color commentators are geniuses. On CBS I just saw a brilliant analysis of how McCain has the momentum right now. I doubt it had anything to do with the fact that ALL TV HAS SHOWN IS THE RNC FOR THE LAST WEEK. It’s probably because Sarah Palin’s speech really broke new ground.
Cindy McCain is the creepiest looking creepo-bot I’ve ever seen. She looks like she’s wearing a skin mask pulled taut over a plastic novelty skull. That’s not a face-lift, it’s a face-starch.
From the comments: I mentioned that Wasilla, Washington is only twice the size of my hometown of Clio, MI. Harmon pointed out that the census figures for Clio (population 2,500) only includes the square mile downtown area. Including Thetford & Vienna townships into the greater Clio metropolitan area (which, trust me, it’s still a reallll small area) you get a population of over 20,000. My dad and Harmon’s mom are both really active in the community, and I think either of them would tell you that you can have the intelligence of a tree stump and do a pretty good job as mayor of a town that size. And Sarah Palin’s town was significantly smaller.
But I don’t necessarily think the experience argument holds weight on either end … it’s just fun to mock Sarah Palin. It’s not about experience, it’s about intelligence … and Barack Obama is one smart son of a bitch. A smart, competent person can overcome any challenge. I don’t know that Sarah Palin is the one we should be worrying about, anyway … all it does is give her more press. She’s not running for President. I know, she’s a heartbeat away from the Presidency and he’s old, but when was the last time a president died in office of natural causes? FDR? In his what, fourth term? He clearly pushed his limits. If Dick Cheney can live through 2 presidential terms, anyone can.
Wait … hold on … did you know John McCain was a P.O.W.?!? Why doesn’t he publicize that to anyone? Now that I know that, I’m voting for him! ‘Cause everyone knows prison is a great place to develop your leadership skills.

You know, you raise an excellent point. I’m going to recommend to my mom that she run for office, so she can be qualified to at least be Governor of Michigan, if not Vice President!

Type ‘high schooler mayor’ into Google and you’ll find links to news stories about at least 3 high school students who won elections to be the Mayor of their respective towns.
Really? Is it really so difficult?
I was glad McCain wasn’t an asshole like Guiliani but I found him pretty dull and old. The only thing he’s gonna change is his old person diaper. I don’t think his wife has changed, however, in the past 20 years. Was looking at some of those photos of them together before his speech and she looks the same. Must be a vampire or something.
