McCain Can’t Talk Straight
GOP Presidential candidate Senator John McCain was recently interviewed by a local TV station in Maine, when asked about Palin’s foreign policy experience his reputation of straight talk was put to the test.
Reporter: “You’re sure she has the experience, but again I’m just asking for an example. What experience does she have in the field of national security?”
McCain: “Energy. She knows more about energy than probably anyone else in the United States of America. She is the Governor of a state where 20% of our energy supply comes from there and we all know that energy is a critical and vital national security issue. We’ve got to stop sending 700 billion dollars of American money to countries that don’t like us very much. She’s very well versed on that issue and she, uh, also represents is a Governor of a state that is right next to Russia and ah, ah, she really understands Russia and their newly aggressive behavior in the world which is also something that we have to be very concerned about.”
Erm, what? A Governor from Alaska knows more about energy than say, a university professor, or maybe John Dingell, Chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee? Senator, the question was about foreign policy not energy policy, so much for straight talk.

I still can’t get over the fact that Palin has her own freaking reality television show. Can anybody get a tv show these days? And it is glaringly evident that she is using it to get people’s attention so she can have a shot at being president of the United States. The most alarming part is that what with the way everyone idolizes reality show stars, it’s just crazy enough to work! I’m not necessarily an extreme liberal or anything like that, but I would think anybody with half a brain on whichever side of the aisle should be able to tell why we wouldn’t want somebody like Sarah Palin being in charge of the United States of America.
