Okay, this "executive experience" thing is not rocket science. Why not
just lay out the fact that Bush had executive experience as head of an oil company, as part-owner of the Texas Rangers, 5 years as the Governor of Texas (Pop. 23,904,380) and 8 years as President. That's a lot of "executive experience" and all that's gotten us is into a hell of a mess.

Cheney had 4 years as director of the Council on Foreign Relations, 5 years as CEO of Halliburton, 2 years as White House Chief of Staff, 4 years as Secretary of Defense, and 8 years as VP of the United States. Even without taking his 10 years in Congress as counting, this is a hell of a lot of "executive experience" and he is even crappier than his "boss".

Someone needs to start pointing out that yes, executive experience can be a good thing, but it did us no good for the past 8 years, and since McCain/Palin aren't any different on their policies, Palin's "executive experience" doesn't mean anything.
