Whom will John McCain pick for VP?

Well, this item will have a very short shelf life, as Senator John McCain is on the precipice of selecting his running mate. Whomever he picks, it would serve them well if they have experience working in assisted living facilities for older people.

But it makes me wonder…who will the king panderer pick? My personal choice is former Miss Alaska runner up, Gov. Sarah Palin. It’s not that I like her politics, per se, but she is pretty hot (for a republican politician). And she is known as a “hockey mom.” But if Jittery John does pick her…I’ll bet that Cindy will have something to say about it. McCain did, after all, dump his previous wife for a younger model…and he does seem to be wedded to the ideas of the past.

Then again, McCain is such a tool that he should move his campaign headquarters to a Home Depot. And being a tool, he’ll probably go the tried and tested route of pandering to the neoconservative-nutjob branch of the republican party…rather than the women. The neocons are far more easily duped than women…women would see through the pick as a blatant attempt to court Hillary supporters.

UPDATE! Well it looks like I was right. He chose Palin. She has a lot of compelling stories that will appeal to a variety of key conservative audiences. But she is so inexperienced that when asked about the Iraq war LAST YEAR she said she didn't really know much about it. My five-year-old son is better educated on the key issues facing this country than is Sarah Palin. John McCain has evinced such bad judgement by making a pick that was done solely to pander to disenfranchised Hillary supporters, that he should be drubbed soundly by the media. But Teflon John is sure to get a pass, as the male dominated media types drool all over themselves at the prospect of spending time with a beauty queen also ran. The Republican spin doctors will try to convince us that she's readly to lead the country, should McCain eat one too many Big Macs and punch his ticket to neocon heaven. But the prospect of having Sarah Palin as president is just about the most frightening thing facing this country today, because of her extremist beliefs on key social issues and an eye-popping lack of understanding about one of the single most important issues in the world today (Iraq). McCain may have found a moll - but hopefully Americans can get over the fact that she's a relatively handsome woman and see her for what she really is: a dangerous distraction.
