The McCain campaign, presumably with a straight face (since good Republicans know no other), suggested that VP Candidate Sarah Palin's experience as Commander in Chief of the Alaska National Guard gave her understanding in "what it takes to lead our nation and she understands the importance of supporting our troops." Really? The Alaska National Guard? Both of them?
Shrub, without a hint of irony, called it an exciting choice. "Governor Palin is a proven reformer who is a wise steward of taxpayer dollars and champion for accountability in government…" Unlike me, he did not add.
Look, I think it's wonderful that no matter who wins in November we will have at least top elected official who is not a White male. Baby steps & all that. Still, the lengths both campaigns are going to either validate their young candidate or invalidate the opposing candidate are getting a little silly.
