If McCain had picked some male short term republican governor it wouldn't be assumed off the top that he was incompetent to be commander in chief, even if it were true.

The question is not whether she is a complete joke in actuality. She IS a complete joke. The question is whether an equally comical male pick would have become an instant punchline.

I am not saying she is being treated unjustly, merely unequally. She DOES deserve what she is getting. A comparable male wouldn't be getting what he deserved.

Are Tim Pawlenty or Bobby Jindal so obviously qualified? They're RW religious nut governors.

And I wouldn't have expected to see 1000 photo-shopped pictures of Bobby Jindal in a bikini here.
