McCain picks Palin for Vice Pres. That’s not judgement we can believe in!
Published by August 29th, 2008 in Election 2008. 1 CommentI’m kind of shocked myself with McCandidate’s VP choice. I’ve been reading about her all morning and really can’t figure it out.

One of these two seems presidential. One of them seems senile and ridiculous. Seriously, what’s wrong with John McCain? Did he ingest Tetrodotoxin? If so, where did he get it? Did someone introduce it surreptitiously or was it a conscious choice on the part of the McCain campaign? These questions may never be answered.
