John McCain has just selected Alaska governor Sarah Palin to be his running mate.

I don't know anything about Palin and I don't want to know anything about her. As far as I'm concerned, this is a smoke-and-mirrors act. She was chosen solely to take some of the rich old geezer stink off of McCain, to make him look a little more hip and, I'm sure, in the hopes of luring away some of those supposedly disgruntled Hillary Clinton supporters (because all they wanted to do was vote for a woman -- any woman -- right?)

I don't give a shit who McCain's running mate is, he's still the guy who'd be president. Everything about McCain is wrong for this country. Everything. He's a hot-headed liar, a filthy rich old country-clubber, golf-carting around in Ferragamo loafers while the country rots and claiming, nope, nuthin' wrong here! He has no knowledge of and zero interest in the lives of the vast majority of Americans and he has no ideas and nothing to offer except four more years of decline, decay and destruction. And if the citizens of this country are stupid enough to elect him...what can I say? They deserve what they get. I'm just sorry I'm gonna be getting it along with them.

Obama's terrific speech has been totally overshadowed in the news by this announcement and I guess that was his intention. Good luck with that McCain. I think that after this initial surprise, the more that comes out about Ms. Palin the more she's gonna stink. She's under corruption investigation...which puts her in good company with the rest of her Republican clan. She's big on guns and fetuses. She's a Big Oil buddy. And her sole experience consists of some local government and barely two years as governor of a sparsely populated state. Yeah, great choice there, buddy.
