And Now, For Something Completely Different.....
I got all excited when I heard that McCain had picked Palin! Whoa, I thought, this will be so totally cool - Palin could teach McCain the dead parrot sketch, at ballgames we'd all sing "He's A Lumberjack and He's Okay", and rather than distributing surplus cheese the government could give away goldfish named Wanda.
I thought that after 8 years of misery under Bush we deserved a few laughs. I figured Cleese had declined so Palin got the nod instead. Then I read the fine print: SARAH Palin, not Michael.
Oh. Now, that is something completely different.
Like Monty Python's Michael Palin, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin may very well have a great sense of humor. Any woman with 5 kids has to have some sense of humor if only to avoid eating her young: He's looking at me! He's copying me! ("He's copying me!") She's breathing again, she's always breathing, make her stop!
But, if the ability to amuse others were all it took to run a country Jon Stewart would be king.
The Vice Presidency is but a heartbeat away from the top job in the nation. Given McCain's age and history of health problems, America could wake up one day to see Sarah Palin standing in Air Force One, looking solemn, with one hand on a bible.
That would not be a good time to find out Palin is a joke.

Sarah Palin, John McCain and Joe Lieberman are like the Three Stooges only without the brains and humanity.
The fact that Palin was even considered tells you all you need to know about the state of America or should I say decline.
She is a nasty piece of work, isn't she? Jon Stewart on the Daily Show Wednesday night had a very nice bit about her and the media and flip flopping pundits, with wonderful use of video tape. People never seem to learn that when they're filmed, it lasts forever! So lame.
