Aug. 31st, 2008 05:03 pmI usually keep the political stuff off of my journal. I have people from all sides here, and I just would rather let the process unfold as it should. Of course you know there will be a "but" coming up.
But the idea that McCain choosing a female running mate means that he is somehow for women is a ridiculous notion. In fact the idea that Palin herself is in any way concerned with women's rights is ridiculous. It was the move of a chess player, trying to distract voter's attention while the Bishop moves in for the kill.
I came across this today, and thought it deserved some blogtime:
In his 1992 Senate bid, McCain was joined on the campaign trail by his wife, Cindy, as well as campaign aide Doug Cole and consultant Wes Gullett. At one point, Cindy playfully twirled McCain's hair and said, "You're getting a little thin up there." McCain's face reddened, and he responded, "At least I don't plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you cunt."
Yeah, he's ready to work in tandem with a woman as an equal, sure.

In other news, here is an article about how Obama thinks he is the second coming, or the fruit of Olympic gods, because he uses Classical Greek architecture as a backdrop.

So, egomaniac or cowboy #2?
You decide.
