Some former beauty queen in the wilds of Alaska!?!   

  

Well, I stand corrected.  McCain "missed it by that much" while speaking into his shoe.  He could have had Lierbeman.  

  

Ah, well, I have heard a good thing or two about Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.  I regret that we won’t have Lierbeman to pick on, but I am cautiously glad that the McCain Campaign picked a person that has a record of rooting out graft and corruption in the state she governs.  At the risk of jumping to a premature conclusion based on very thin information, she seems rational - even if she is a Republican.  

    

It will be good to find out more about this candidate.  She is not really a Wheaties Breakfast Cereal Box celebrity, but that is about to change.  I am cautiously happy with the choice, although she is boarding a coal burning puffer belly instead of a modern zephyr.

    

It is comforting to know that, in the highly unlikely event that McCain shows up in the Oval Office, a person of apparent quality stands in the wings in case this old far… in case McCain cannot finish his single term for some reason. 

   

Let the main event begin!
