Sarah Palin - Governor of Alaska 1

A truly dreadful human being, the choice of whom by the McCain campaign reflected a situation of gross desperation. The idea was that selecting this severely-underqualified nitwit would draw votes to McCain from disaffected former Hilliary Clinton supporters. Sounded great on paper, but, it neglected that on virtually every issue, Pig Woman is on the absolute opposite side than the junior Senator from New York. The upshot? Nearly 90% of Clinton's female former supporters wouldn't support this nimrod if she were the last candidate on the planet. Examination of her background indicated quite a few unsavory personal characteristics and a track record filled with poor administrative decisions as Mayor of Walrusfart and Governor of The Moocher State, graft and abuse of power. She left Walrusfart in sizeable debt, despite the significant amount of pork the town got from Washington during her tenure. What was almost criminal on her part was tossing hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer money to a Canadian energy company for a natural gas pipeline for which no guarantees have been made that the project will actually ever be built. She's also a tax cheater. Add to this the fact that she couldn't name a single Supreme Court decision besides Roe v. Wade, that she avoids newspapers and magazines as a source of information (Just where does she get her information from, if at all?), and feels that intelligent design should be taught in science classes, and you have the profile of a total, absolute mental midget. Obviously, the McCain campaign didn't spend much time or make much effort in vetting the candidate. Also, it's kinda difficult to accept someone as a plain-old hockey Mom when the McCain campaign coughed up $150,000 for designer clothes for her and her mutant brood in just a few weeks. That's probably more than she and her family have spent on clothes since the day she eloped, while preggers. Finally, all this crap about her being an agent of change and anti-corruption is so appallingly dishonest and politically maladroit. This pinhead is the total opposite of what she's been presented to be. And she certainly is "maverick," if that term means irresponsibly running your mouth and attempting to besmirch the opposing ticket. After she and McBowel get stomped next week, don't be surprised if impeachment proceedings are initiated against her in Alaska and that the IRS starts poking around in her affairs.
