WASHINGTON (AP) -- Cindy McCain said Sunday that Republican vice presidential pick Sarah Palin understands what's at stake in national security issues in part because she is governor of Alaska, located some 300 miles from Russia.The wife of soon-to-be GOP presidential nominee Sen. John McCain also said she's "offended" by Democrats calling her husband elitist because of the number of homes their family owns.Asked about Palin's credential, Cindy McCain told ABC-TV's "This Week:" "The experience that she comes from is with what she's done in the government. And also, remember: Alaska is the closest part of our continent to Russia. So, it's not as if she doesn't understand what's at stake here."
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Cindy McCain said Sunday that Republican vice presidential pick Sarah Palin understands what's at stake in national security issues in part because she is governor of Alaska, located some 300 miles from Russia.
The wife of soon-to-be GOP presidential nominee Sen. John McCain also said she's "offended" by Democrats calling her husband elitist because of the number of homes their family owns.
Asked about Palin's credential, Cindy McCain told ABC-TV's "This Week:" "The experience that she comes from is with what she's done in the government. And also, remember: Alaska is the closest part of our continent to Russia. So, it's not as if she doesn't understand what's at stake here."
Russia is our enemy keep to the Fen Causeway
And also, remember: Alaska is the closest part of our continent to Russia.
I suppose this answers my 'What does it take to be experienced?' question.
It's homoeopathic - close proximity to extremely diluted Russian-ness makes you a foreign policy guru.
And who could have predicted that?
Sarah Palin is not qualified to be mayor of Wasilla, Alaska. She was nearly recalled for firing the police chief on grounds that he didn't support her in the election. The woman believes we should outlaw birth control, and that abortion should be illegal even in cases of rape, incest or when the mother's life is in danger.
She's a Creationist. She doesn't believe in climate change, and has sued the federal government to take polar bears off the endangered species list.
I'll bet you $50 she wouldn't allow her kids to read the Harry Potter books because of the witchcraft element. I'm dead serious. She's one of those nutcase soccer moms who need to be put in a straightjacket and shipped off to Bellevue.
This is the person John McCain has decided should be the next winner of America's Next Top Model Vice President of the United States.
The more I read about her, the more I'm convinced that Palin is completely fucking insane. Which is fine, if she's just some wacko Alaskan resident voting on the presidency, but not if she's an actual candidate for office.

What about naming them 'Willow' and 'Piper' - both witches. Both into pre-marital sex, Willow tending towards women.

"Mark, we're having trouble with phrasal verbs"
Me: "Well I'll prepare a lesson on that" (to myself: WTF are phrasal verbs!?). The extra brilliance was that they paid me about fifty percent more than the excellent Polish English teachers they had - presumably actual knowledge of the subject and who needs teaching skills if you've got the right accent.
In the end, it was goddog who ruled you out. When the tree came crashing down on your car as you were about to travel to the forbidden city of NOLA, we knew that you didn't have the support of the higher being.
Plus we didn't want anyone who could actually read polls. ;-)
Seriously, the joke nature of this campaign evinces the weakness of the amurkan body politic. That Palin could even be considered is a slap in the face of both intelligence and civilization. That on the left side, the blind fawning over Obama is just as blind (though not as dangerous.) It is embarrassing as hell.

I'm not even sure how many scientists live consistently in a scientific reality.
Nothing is going to get better until people figure out that making political decisions for mythical reasons is really, really stupid.
There are a lot of evangelicals and Catholics and conservatives and libertarians who were not voting for the elder of the two manchurian candidates. Not one of them now will stay away from this opportunity to elect 3 new Supreme Court Justices who will allow (or mandate) chastity belts for kids, prescriptions for condoms (in states where they are still allowed), and full rights to minorities...rights to be hunted, that is.
Just look at the numbers...well, I don't know the numbers. But before the convention it was a plus or minus the margin of error tie at 45% each. It does not take that many loonies to tip this over to the side the McWarCrimePartyTM. Never underestimate their intelligence, always underestimate their knowledge.
