OMFG Even McCain knows this deal is done; Palin's an Idiot

Couldn't be more shocked by what I saw.

Especially after the Palin disaster, I was surprised to hear that McCain would go on...but I was certain they would be more judicious about what type of scripts they participated in.

Total disaster for McCain.

Of course it is hard to swim with a 150 lb anchor around your neck.

Case in point: what the hell?  Palin bought into a fake call from someone she thought was the president of France.
Then she remarked that she would make a good president in 8 years.

According to AP when she thought she was talking to Sarkozy:

Playing off the governor's much-mocked comment in an early television interview that she had insights into foreign policy because "you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska," the caller tells her: "You know we have a lot in common also, because ... from my house I can see Belgium."

She replies: "Well, see, we're right next door to different countries that we all need to be working with, yes."

For the record my old friend Bobby Gibbs had it well in hand:

Obama's campaign spokesman Robert Gibbs, commenting on the prank, said: "I'm glad we check out our calls before we hand the phone to Barack Obama."

The full transcript is totally beyond belief. She sure is pretty.

My thoughts go to the "off the record" or "on background" media reports that Palin was off the reservation and thinking way beyond this election.

Assinine.  I know.

But really, go online and watch it and tell me that McCain wasn't working on his post-election legacy and taking a huge swipe at Palin.

I've always liked McCain and admired him.  Unfortunately like Dole in 96, he's about 10-15 years too late.

McCain is a good guy that made what is possibly the worst VP pick in the last 50 years.

Tonight looked a lot to me like he is exacting a little revenge on someone who failed to meet expectations and isn't fully invested in HIS future...but in her own.

Two big mis-steps by the repub ticket on SNL this cycle.

For once the Dems seem to be better atuned to popular culture than the repubs.
