Look Out, Cindy

Seems we were right. Old Johnny has found himself another, younger beauty queen, in his dotage. Even old leopards don't change their spots, it seems.


Damn, he isn't even president yet. He is already falling back into old patterns. No telling what he might do with the power of the White House at his disposal.


FNS: McCain Calls Palin His “Soulmate”
By: Nicole Belle on Sunday, August 31st, 2008



Oh dear. Does Cindy know?

After only one meeting before naming her his running mate and little to no vetting, McCain has decided that Sarah Palin is his “partner and soulmate”. Ew, that’s a little creepy. Can you imagine him saying that about his true partner, Joe Lieberman, if the GOP hadn’t demanded he not pick Holy Joe as his running mate?

McCain continues the lies — he must really count on the low info voter taking everything at face value — by claiming he’s been following Palin’s career for years and years. Oh really? What’s McCain doing following a ex-beauty queen turned small town Alaskan mayor’s career, because she has hardly had enough time at the Governor’s mansion to be tracked for a year, much less years and years? And she stood up against oil interests? That’s not what environmentalists are saying. Being FOR drilling in ANWR is hardly standing up against the oil companies.

My favorite line? I don’t particularly enjoy the label “maverick”

Yeah, rrrriiiiiiiggggghhhhhtttttt.

Transcripts below the fold:

WALLACE: Let’s start with your choice of running mate. Of all the people you could have chosen, all the Republican leaders you’ve known for years. Straight talk, can you honestly say that Sarah Palin is the best person to put a heartbeat away from the presidency?

McCAIN: Oh yeah. She’s a…she’s a partner and a soulmate. [laughs] She’s…she’s a reformer. I don’t particularly enjoy the label “maverick,” but when somebody takes on the old bulls in her own party, runs against an incumbent governor of her own party, stands up against the oil and gas interests…I mean, they really are so vital to the economy of her…of the state of Alaska. I mean, it’s remarkable. It’s a remarkable person and I’ve watched her record and I’ve watched her for many, many years as she implemented ethics and lobbying reforms. I mean, she led on it; she didn’t just vote for it. She led it, I’ve seen her…take on her own party. Look, one thing I know is when you take on your own party in Washington, you pay a price for it. You do. You pay a price for it.
