- John McCain likes to tout himself as a “maverick” who has rooted out corruption in both parties. He never mentions his role as a member of the Keating Five, a group of senators accused of corruption in 1989 as part of the Savings and Loan scandal, America’s last big financial crisis.
- McCain married two beauty queens and picked a third for his running mate. Evidently the only women worthy of his notice are those who have worn sashes and tiaras. Hmm…
- McCain’s first wife, Carol, was in a devastating automobile accident while her husband was in Vietnam. She was offered the opportunity to communicate with him, but she refused to tell him about her debilitating injuries, saying, “‘He’s got enough problems, I don’t want to tell him.’ When McCain came home and found her crippled, shorter and heavier, he began a series of extramarital affairs, including one with the future Cindy McCain.
- Cindy McCain’s fortune is comparable to that of Teresa Heinz Kerry, the wife of John Kerry. What happened to the righteous indignation of Republicans who claimed Kerry “sought out millionaire wives to take care of him. Not to put too fine a point on it, he’s a serial gigolo?” (Joseph Farah, World Net Daily, 2004) John McCain, American Gigolo?
- Cindy McCain believes that Sarah Palin’s living so close to Russia actually gives her foreign policy experience. How about the millions of Americans living near the Canada and Mexico borders? Are they qualified too?
- Sarah Palin believes the Iraq War is “a task that is from God.” Welcome back to the Middle Ages, folks! We’re fighting the Crusades.
- One of the pastors who prayed over Palin when she was running for governor is a witch-hunter in Kenya. Really. He brags about having run a witch out of town some years back. In his prayer for Palin’s gubernatorial bid just two years ago, he mentioned “witchcraft.” Okay, so it’s not the Middle Ages; it’s Salem, 1692.
- Palin also believes that we will have to go to war with Russia if Georgia joins NATO and is attacked. Oops, sorry. It’s not the Salem Witch Trials; it’s the Cold War!
- Palin attended five different schools in six years before finally finishing her journalism degree at the University of Idaho. Obviously a dedicated student.
- Sarah Palin supports abstinence-only education. Her teenage daughter is pregnant, due in early 2009. How’s that education policy working out, I wonder?
- Palin wants the media to respect Bristol’s privacy and is proud that her daughter “decided to have the baby.” “Decided.” Isn’t that a synonym for “chosen?” And isn’t “choice” something Palin does not want your daughter to have?
- Sarah Palin likes to “hunt as much as we can.” Evidently, killing God’s creatures for sport is a qualification for vice president. Sure worked for Dick Cheney.
- Palin and her husband have decided he will not heed the subpoena issued by Alaska lawmakers investigating her firing of the public safety commissioner in that state. Hey, at least we know upfront how much she respects the judicial system. Dick Cheney and his cronies didn’t start ignoring subpoenas until they were already in office.
Darn, no comments yet.
