“So let us ask the question that should be on the mind of every thinking person in the world at this moment: If John McCain becomes the 44th president of the United States, what are the odds that a blood clot or falling object will make Sarah Palin the 45th?

The actuarial tables on the Social Security Administration website suggest that there is a better than 10% chance that McCain will die during his first term in office. Needless to say, the Reaper's scything only grows more insistent thereafter. Should President McCain survive his first term and get elected to a second, there is a 27% chance that Palin will become the first female U.S. president by 2015. If we take into account McCain's medical history and the pressures of the presidency, the odds probably increase considerably that this bright-eyed Alaskan will become the most powerful woman in history.

As many people have noted, placing Palin on the ticket has made these final months of the already overlong 2008 campaign much more interesting. Is Palin remotely qualified to be president of the United States? No. But that's precisely what is so interesting. McCain not only has thrown all sensible concerns about good governance aside merely to pander to a sliver of female and masses of conservative Christian voters, he has turned this period of American history into an episode of high-stakes reality television: Don't look now, but our cousin Sarah just became leader of the free world! Tune in next week and watch her get sassy with Pakistan!"

And then, Yahoo/AP.. sends the same nonsense around to feed the left/Dem bloggers, media/editors, TV/radio, etc. etc.

How is this tolerated?

  1. It will be condemned by Obama - maybe he just hasn't heard about it yet.  It isn't like he runs the LA Times or that they consult with him before printing.  He is running a presidential campaign - he isn't out there to police the media.  




  2. Have you not discovered the link of Union media and Union Hollywood and Union Print media to a Union candidate (Democrat).

    Obama is a "Unionizer". Hollywood and the media have collaborated to be his public relations agent. We are now living in a world of corrupt media and government that is perpetuating a groupthink.

    (mold the young and they are yours) - Union Bands, singers, teachers, Union writers (textbooks, newspapers, magazines) a kid today is spoonfed from the time the start kindergarten,
