All About McCain

[Gemini Cricket]

If McCain loses, I can see the media and the McCain camp blaming Palin for the loss. I will not be on board for that. Choosing Palin as his running mate was one of many mistakes made. Sadly, I think Palin will be the scapegoat. Er, uh scapemoose....

With that being said, if you're going to carve a pumpkin to look like Sarah Palin's head, make sure it's hollow first.

Most of the criticism of Palin I've seen have been framed as, 'What was McCain thinking?!" I think most people see it like I put it earlier - she was asked to do something way over her head and failed, but it was McCain and company that put her in that position in his highest profile bad decision among many bad decisions.

Scaeagles - Did you get a reply from the preacher?

Not McCain personally, but this does not reflect well on the campaign.

It gets worse. CNN's got an article up today that there are people from Camp McCain that are now accusing Palin of going rogue on them.

I tell you, the rats are fleeing the sinking ship really fast now.

A new e-mail making the rounds among Jewish voters in Pennsylvania this week falsely alleged that Mr. Obama “taught members of Acorn to commit voter registration fraud,’’ and equated a vote for Senator Barack Obama with the “tragic mistake” of their Jewish ancestors, who “ignored the warning signs in the 1930’s and 1940’s.”

At first blush, it was typical of the sorts of e-mails floating around with false, unsubstantiated and incendiary claims this year.

But where most of the attack e-mails against Mr. Obama have been mostly either anonymous or from people outside of mainstream politics, this one had an unusually official provenance: It was sponsored by the Pennsylvania Republican Party’s “Victory 2008” committee.

And when the party was asked about it, their big "repudiation" of it was, "he went a little bit farther than the facts would support."

Umm, equating electing Obama to the rise of the Third Reich is "a little bit far"? Class act that Republican party.

Hem hem hem.

Applause.

"Thank you, thank you."

"My Sarah Palin jack-o-lantern is pretty on the outside but is lit by a very dim light."

"My Joe Biden jack-o-lantern keeps saying "Happy Easter!" to my neighbors. What a gaffe!"

"My Joe the Plumber jack-o-lantern is not a pumpkin after all. It's really a squash."

"Is this thing on? Testing, testing?"

"My McCain jack-o-lantern keeps blinking and sticking its tongue out at me."

"My Obama jack-o-lantern is gone. It went to Hawai'i to see a pineapple."

"Thank you, enjoy the rest of your stay here at the casino. Enjoy the buffet, make sure to try the Alaskan King Crab legs and moose burgers."

My friend Julie just said that she was going to go as Sarah Palin for Halloween but couldn't afford the costume.
