Palin is making the Washington Post "queasier"
Edited on Mon Sep-22-08 10:18 AM by whereismyparty
Uh-oh. Bush and the Republicans worked so hard to win over the Washington Post editorial page. Fred Hiatt was their biggest cheerleader. And, he loved McCain too. But, there's trouble brewing -- over McCain's biggest decision so far. They're getting "queasier" about Palin at Wash. Post HQ:
Mr. McCain's selection of an inexperienced and relatively unknown figure was unsettling, and the campaign's decision to keep her sequestered from serious interchanges with reporters and voters serves only to deepen the unease. Mr. McCain is entitled to choose the person he thinks would be best for the job. He is not entitled to keep the public from being able to make an informed assessment of that judgment. Ms. Palin's speech-making skills are impressive, but the more she repeats the same stump speech lines, the queasier we get. Nor have her answers to the gentle questioning she has encountered provided any confidence that Ms. Palin has a grasp of the issues.

You won't get any confidence because she has no grasp of the issues. That says volumes about John McCain. And, it's actually worse. Because, in Palin's mind, she's not the running mate. She's the top of the ticket.

7. "Because, in Palin's mind, she's not the running mate. She's the top of the ticket."
Not just in her mind-- the feeble minds of the brain-dead electorate.

8. And they left out the part about what her scant record DOES show
corruption, cronyism, nepotism, abuse of power, lying, stonewalling, etc.
