I’m watching Hardball and Chuck Todd tells me the new NBC/WSJ poll says that John McCain’s biggest mistake is picking Sarah Palin.
Fifty-five percent say she’s not qualified to be President, and more voters now have a negative opinion of her than a positive.
Forget barracuda, she’s an albatross.

Jane, you should be ashamed about such a shameless, shameful slam against the good Senator’s age: The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.
Oops, my mistake. In a re-reading, I see now that you are making a justifiable call to the ironic:
She is a Puffin.
And she hasn’t learned to FLY!
Like a beached whale, she first attracted and then repelled.
Digg IS now Open Pups!!
Sarah Beluga
Wouldn’t that be McCain’s biggest mistake yet?
Please don’t.
I love Baby Beluga.
Such a shame to have to read about her her All The M’Fing time here. But, don’t link her to beautiful animals.
Please?
Her moose is cooked.
I’m tempted to send my wingnut son an email with “How’s that Palin thing working out for you?” in the subject line, with nothing else. But, instead, I think I’ll keep him in suspense. Since that’s what he would expect, I’ll refrain and keep him on pins ‘n needles.
How bad can it get? This is pathetic, and America knows it…finally!
Check out Kos for the mini-Watergate if you haven’t yet.
Good move. It needs to be a personal epiphany.
I was thinking more along the lines of the old joke: Masochist sez to the sadist, “Hit me.” Sadist sez “No.”
My apologies to the author of the Beverly Hillbillies Theme Song:
Shorter Cindy: “Jeebus John, they won’t friggin’ leave!”
Don’t cry for me, Archie ‘n Tina: she’s been Palin around tear horrorists.
LOL … I knew that’s what you meant …
VP McHot
How embarrassing for this country. McA**hole deserves blowback.
C’est magnifique !
People around here are getting to know me a little too well. *g*
I would counter that following Rove’s gameplan was McCain’s biggest mistake …
Palin was only a part of that great error …
Not me … BTW, have a glass of Chianti … *g*
Is that red leather jacket she’s wearing part of the $150,000 clothing allowance? She should demand a refund. Wonder who her dresser is.
I would say she is a millstone. May she take the entire Republican Party to the bottom of the sea.
Folks, Jane -
I can report from the Greenfield Lake shore in Wilmington NC that James Taylor is in fine voice. I was blessed by Waccamaw’s tenacious efforts for tix. We arranged a PupMeetUp and joined 900 friends to listen to that sweet voice.
Waccama’s drawl made the night a true delight.
Plus, I swear I saw Jane’s double in the crowd.
No updates in the media yet, but this is a preview:

Cheers!
GoObamaGo!
Um … Michael Jackson ?
Do you have a chianti that you really like? Am thinking I should have some in my wine cellar, to compliment my home made spaghetti sauce.
Had me smilin’.
I’m partial to the House of Ruffino …
I want to redistribute her new wealth. I want her shoes.
Grow your own tomatoes?
You can have her shoes after the Rapture.
Picking Palin was McCain’s biggest mistake, and it is indicative of his poor judgement.
People/voters know this country is in dire straits right now, and they want leadership. The way he has conducted his sorry, down in the gutter campaign has done nothing to reassure the average voter that his governing would be anything different.
I also might add that the last 8 years of Bush and his screw ups didn’t help matters. When all is said and done, the Republican brand is in the toilet.
Nope, but the neighbor does … *g*
This is the story of Joe Sixpack’s love affair with Sarah…
Paradise by the Dashboard Lights – Meat Loaf
Good pick.
I had a colleague, about a decade older than me, so when we worked together I was in my late 40s and she was in her late 50s. She was as skinny as Cindy McCain and wore brown leather mini-skirts. She was a securities analyst who covered retailers, and that was her excuse: she had to dress “fashionably.” It was grotesque.
Call Joe the Plumber!
fifty-five percent – she’s climbin’ in the polls, you betcha!
Jeebus, did y’all catch Palin’s comments re. job description of the VP ?
I thought Buchanan was gonna have Kittens …
Nope. Buy them from a local farmer who grows organic heirlooms in every color of the rainbow.

like a beached whale, a stranded polar bear
Thanks. I’ll try it.
Dayam, KO’s ‘Campaign Comment’ ripped Palin a whole new arsehole…!
or baby cretins..
That’s the ticket! Deelicious!
eli up at the mothership
((( CT )))
I get it now. The Palins want to create the United States of Alaska by infiltrating the Pukes. Heh. Bring it on Barbie.
Let it breathe …
I have to say, the Beaujolais this year was great … even some of the 2006 ones.
Aybody wanting her shoes has to be willing to “walk Funny”.
Took the words outta my mouth.
lol
this is REALLY funny, the ONLY reason mccain made palin his choice was because wrong way krystol recomended the women
and the only reason wrong as always krystol thought she would be a good candidate is because she gave good welcoming party
krystol is wrong about EVERYTHING, yet mccain chose to listen to advice from this idiot
that alone should demonstrate mccain’s total lack of judgement, the fact that he thought krystol knows what he’s talking about
as if
With the current economic debacle I’ll be growing a lot more of my own food. Will try and change the cities zoninig ordinance to allow the raising of chickens for eggs. Uncle in Paris raises chickens, rabitts and has a garden that provides vegetables, fruit and nuts. Not one inch of lawn to be mowed.
You may have an easier time of just raising rabbits as “pets” and if they ‘disappear’ from time to time, (and reappear on your table) then no one is the wiser…
But to “those” who don’t pay attention, Palin is a visual eye candy candidate…no substance…no grease, not even any machinery…just a big girly magazine image/female with a gun image…to go after the incredibly ignorant group of people who “think” that they are “Republican”…who are continually being used by the “Republicans” that they keep electing. Rove 101.
It is so incredibly stupid, but at the same time…incredibly brilliant.
She’s walks like a bug.
That’s just my perception.
Dugg, thanks for the link.
Thanks Jane.
Palin has just gone on saying that “Obama was a faux-feminist…who couldn’t stomach taking on a woman as Vice President”
She asserts that she IS a feminist despite McCain’s statements that “womens health” is simply a charade for abortion, and that Lily Ledbetter’s claims for fair pay after decades of discrimination is a “field day for trial lawyers”.
Meanwhile she attacks those evil Muslims for “honor killings” (wait wasn’t that in Pakistan, our ostensible ally…but ruled illegal by the Supreme Court judges that Johnny’s favorite dictator Musharraf, threw out)?
And she seems to believe that her genitalia is solely enough reason that women should vote for her…
Just as all Blacks should support Clarence Thomas, and all whites should support John McCain?
It’s all about biology…after all.

Albatross! Does that come with wafers?
