U'm, i'm assuming your joking.

you know, you could just read the article i linked to a few posts up - it explains it as this -

John McCain on Friday announced a running mate whom he met only six months ago and with whom he spoke just once on the phone about the position before offering it in person earlier this week.

McCain’s first encounter with Sarah Palin came at a Washington meeting of the National Governors Association in February, according to a campaign-provided reconstruction of how the little-known Alaska governor was thrust into the national spotlight. The two discussed the position by phone on Sunday before McCain invited Palin and her husband to Arizona to formally make the offer. McCain, joined by his wife, Cindy, did just that Thursday morning at their home near Sedona, Ariz.

By picking somebody he and most Americans barely know — an out-of-the-blue decision that sent shock waves of disbelief through the political world and still has jaws agape — McCain has taken a considerable gamble.

Might wanna point out it's fake, this thread seems to have its collective joke detector broken.

Even if it is fake, his face just sells it so well.:lol

For real!? :lol

Yeah, CNN for real used that as the front page, would you like a million dollars?

I'm starting to wonder if McCain has lost it. I don't mean figuratively. Is this bizarre, out-of-character choice a sign of creeping senility?

Perfection. He pretty much summed it up for everyone. No more needs to be said. ...Except that she's also a corrupt bitch.

Bay Buchanan says that having a son in Iraq is a 'start' to having foreign policy experience. a Fox News commentator earlier said that the geographic proximity of Russia to Alaska also means she has foreign policy experience.

i'm dumbfounded.

Yeah, I found that to be pretty astonishing. If each kid in Iraq counts as foreign policy experience, Then there's an experience gap for Obama. Biden's got one, McCain has two, and Palin has one.

Clearly Obama needs to send both of his daughters to Iraq.

I'd bend it over and put it in her pooper.

Obama will repeal the Bush tax cuts. Repealing the Bush tax cuts will create "a tax increase" on working Americans. The American people are more qualified to spend their own money than the government. It is not irresponsible to let people spend their own earned income.

One of those e-mails was like "the mocking of Palin's experience is funny when she's younger than Obama and has about as much experience, so what's that say about Obama?"

Why do people keep missing the point? Nobody is saying that Palin is inexperienced because Obama is super-experienced, we're saying that because McCain's entire campaign revolves around experience, and he takes any chance he can get to try and say that Obama is not experienced enough to be president.

So when he picks a highly inexperienced VP, who's main purpose is to take on the President's roles and responsibilities if the actual President is unable to go on, McCain simply looks hypocritical and foolish. His experience message that he's been hammering his entire campaign is now completely undermined, so what's he have to run on? Reform, against Obama? A pro-life campaign, to try and win back his base? He's not going to stand a chance by trying to appeal to the far right at this point, or by trying to have a "change-off" against the likes of Obama.
