Republicans have no shame. They willingly exploit one of the greatest tragedies in our nation’s history for political gain:
The only reason I’m putting that video up is so that more people can see how utterly disgusting John McCain’s campaign is. At least Keith Olbermann had the balls to stand up and say something about it when it aired tonight.
So FUCK YOU John McCain. And fuck everyone (The Republican Party) involved in the production and presentation of that video tonight. How dare you.

Poor John McCain really didn’t think this through very well. Or maybe he did. I can’t decide which would be worse. Either way, the selection of Sarah Palin as his running mate got him a weekend of nonstop press coverage, and made the right wing nuts in his party very happy. But things appear to be turning around now as the media and the blogosphere have begun digging into who Sarah Palin really is.
Today Palin confirmed that her 17 year-old unwed daughter is five months pregnant. I personally don’t give a crap. But I’m sure the Christian crazies do, and this pick was supposed to make them happy. Maybe she should have taught her daughter about contraceptives?
Then there is the very interesting information about Palin’s membership in the Alaskan Independence Party. The AIP wants Alaska to secede from the United States. And the McCain campaign will have a hell of a time denying this one, since Palin recorded a message to the 2008 AIP Convention.
OOPS! One might wonder if someone who doesn’t want her state to be part of this country should really be Vice President. This might be a problem.
And don’t forget “Troopergate,” Palin’s ongoing problem concerning her firing of Alaska’s chief public safety officer for refusing to fire the ex-husband of Palin’s sister.
There was the fun Ted Stevens endorsement of her that I posted this weekend. And it turns out she also ran a 527 for Stevens. Just how closely is she tied to the disgraced Senator?
And as if all of this wasn’t enough, Palin has even been lying about winning Miss Congeniality in that 1984 Beauty Pagent.
And this is the woman that would be Vice President, and a heartbeat away from the Presidency? Give me a break.
Perhaps McCain should have checked with Joe Scarborough and Pat Buchanan about whether this was a good idea:

My favorite part:
Barack stood up that day, and spoke words that have stayed with me ever since. He talked about “The world as it is” and “The world as it should be.” And he said that all too often, we accept the distance between the two, and settle for the world as it is - even when it doesn’t reflect our values and aspirations. But he reminded us that we know what our world should look like. We know what fairness and justice and opportunity look like. And he urged us to believe in ourselves - to find the strength within ourselves to strive for the world as it should be. And isn’t that the great American story?
