The most dangerous thing for a ticket to become: a laughing stock
McCain already had some problems with comics and late night TV shows due to his age. Adding the whacky Sarah Palin likely moves this ticket from a serious run for the Presidency to an all-out joke. Punch lines aplenty from this bizarre duo.

2. Well I know I've gotten some hearty LMAO's over the past couple days
I can not even imagine what the thugs are thinking.

It's so sad and pathetic that it's actually hilarious.

3. Like Burns and Allen
Although McCain is older than George Burns and Gracie wasn't as ditzy in real life.

8. I googled and found those:
"Palin and McCain are a good pair. She's pro-life and he's clinging to life." –Jay Leno

"Are you kidding me, the mayor of Wasilla, Alaska? Yeah, that's who you want in the White House during a time of crisis. When she got a phone call at 3 in the morning, it was because a moose had gotten in the garbage can." –Bill Maher

"Today President Bush called Gov. Palin and congratulated her. Bush told Palin the job of vice president is very important because as vice president, you get to tell the president what to do."
–Jay Leno

Lol!

6. On Friday morning my wife commented
that the choice of Palin was not "out of the box", as the media reported it, but rather "off the wall"

10. McCain is a joke. He's a total fraud and liar.
Everytime he starts one of his prepared remarks with "my friends", I want to puke.

16. Let's compare, shall we?
Obama picks a running mate who enjoys much esteem and respect, with skills and experience that complement his own. McSame picks --- Barbie's mom. Now you tell me: Which one has shown himself capable of making important executive decisions?
