ANCHORAGE, Alaska — When presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain introduced Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate last Friday, the Arizona senator emphasized her role as the commander in chief of the Alaska National Guard.

Later, when questions were raised about Palin's lack of experience in national and international affairs, the McCain campaign pointed again to her military command experience as governor. Some reporters have tried to follow up.

"Can you tell me one decision that she made as commander in chief of the Alaska National Guard?" CNN journalist Campbell Brown asked Monday while interviewing McCain campaign spokesman Tucker Bounds. "Just one?"

1. Reminds me of a Johnny Carson guest: George Gobel.

He was on Hollywood Squares a lot. As a guest on Carson, he told the story of how he was stationed in Tulsa during WW2. He said that he did a good job because no Japanese aircraft got past Tulsa. And, he added that he was needed there because "that's where they put me."

As he continued his story, Dean Martin flicked cigarette ashes into Gobel's coffee cup. Sitting on the other side of Dean, Bob Hope was laughing and laughing. Carson asked the audience, "When exactly did I lose control of the show." Gobels thought he did a good job with his story. Gobel's appearance was even mentioned on wikipedia with a quote: " "Did you ever get the feeling that the world was a tuxedo and you were a pair of brown shoes?"

Sarah, we're not laughing with you, we're laughing at you because you're a joke. And not even a fun joke like George Gobel. You're a petty person who is represents the worst of America.

Can't find a link, but it was discussed on this forum.
