Brodner's Cartoon du Jour: EXTRA: Impalin McCain

September 3, 2008


EXTRA: Impalin McCain

Had to post this. This is an actual off-mic clip from Mike Murphy and Peggy Noonan, two top GOP pundits last night on MSNBC. When Chuck Todd goes to break they reveal their true feelings about the Palin nomination. ’Nuff said, I think. This from Politico:

"It's over," said Noonan, and then responded to a question of whether Palin is the most qualified Republican woman McCain could have chosen.

"The most qualified? No. I think they went for this — excuse me — political bullsh** about narratives," she said. "Every time Republicans do that...because that's not where they live and it's not what they're good at and they blow it."

Murphy chimed in:

"The greatness of McCain is no cynicism, and this is cynical."

I think Mike Murphy and Peggy Noonan were sincere when they voiced their concerns regarding Sarah. I am sure they would have felt more at ease with someone like Mitt Romney as VP. You will find a lot of people on the right and left who are not comfortable with bucking the status quo.

Barack didn't upset the status quo and selected someone who is very embedded in Washington's political machine. While the Maverick shook up the status quo and selected a hockey mom.

While I would have rather seen Mike Huckabee as VP, I think Sarah is going to surprise a lot of people - in a good way.

Whoever ends up in office next has some cleanup to do. Bloated government fatbags have made a mess of things as usual, promising people money, promising 'change', and, well, stuff doesn't change because if it did, some of the above-mentioned government fatbags would be unemployed. I'm not saying that all federal employees are shiftless conniving oxygen thieves, far from it, what I'm saying though is that there's SOME folks wandering around in there that haven't had to work an honest day in 20 years, and it shows in some of the policy that we see 'out here'. And, there's more thievery attendant to 'the government', and the GOP has a 'credibility gap' with the public that they're going to have to put in long, long hours to overcome. Has McCain forwarded any kind of an austerity budget to try and build a proposal of some kind for fiscal reforms? Doubtful. Obama's not going to be killing himself to do that either, and both are attempting to pander to unions, which if you're watching the Boeing thing, that's the 4th branch of government, more or less, unions. Yewnyin laybuh, top-dollar, right? Well, top cost, maybe, not necessarily top quality. Asia's coming, and building more robots as they go...not that they need them, they've got enough hu-mans to bury the United States economically AND physically...no pressure, Candidates, no pressure...

James Dobson and his "Secret Society of Radical Religious Extremists,"called McCain and said he would support him if he would pick his choice of VP- Gov. Palin. She didn't need to be vetted....just pick her and you will have the Evangelical support. This reported by Bobby Kennedy Jr. on Air America on Sat. 9/6. Check this out.

Palin is a Religious Fanatic that satisfies the Right Wing Evangelical terrorists. They will take this country to War so that they can meet JESUS. As far as common sense people are concerned, I would rather wait until GOD calls me. These people can hold a gun to their head and go meet their creator if they so desire but don't include the rest of us.
