I'm not quite dry heaving, but it's close. I gave Obama a rash of stink pickles yesterday. Today? Check out McCain's possible veep selection and her "first man":

I'm a doofus!

Call me old-fashioned. Call me sexist. Call me whatever you wish, but that doesn't change the fact that the man standing there during the swearing in of his wife is a dill weed.

Update: She could potentially be "one heartbeat away from the presidency" and from what experience is she going to pull? I thought it was scary how empty Obama's suit was, but this woman ... well, where's her foreign policy experience? Living closer to Russia than everyone else doesn't quite cut it.

For McCain and "soccer mom" to succeed in the Executive, they're going to have to admit their weaknesses and surround themselves with brilliant foreign policy advisers, chiefs-of-staff and cabinet members. Otherwise ... Katy, bar the door!

Update 2: She is cute as a button, though. She'll give Daniel D. Tompkins [link] a run for his money when it comes to veeps whose cheeks you'd just love to pinch.

I don't know . . . an oil field worker and a snowmobile racing champion . . . not exactly what I would call a wimp.

Anyway, I like the choice - pro-life, anti gay marriage, devout Christian, life-time member of NRA, and oldest son who enlisted in the Army and is going to Iraq in September - and being a woman couldn't hurt gaining the Hillary discontents either!

You're right: Mexicans doing the work that Americans refuse to do; and women doing the job that men relinquish. It fits for our times. But don't count me in.

Fluffy, of course you agree. You know the fist of fury is on a hair trigger.

I'm gonna have to wait and see on this one. Choosing a woman was very smart from my point of view.

Recently, I have been joking that we need to fill the Capital building with water and flush it like a big toilet.  I am excited to see someone fresh.  You can talk about change until your face turns blue, but I think McCain actually made a selection for change.  Time will tell if Gov. Palin was a good choice.  Right now I am inclined to think it was!

By the way, Joe, what is your opinion on Margaret Thatcher?

I think it was a very bad choice.
