Every time a pundit is trying to talk about how awesome Barack Obama's speech was last night, a new "BREAKING" bit of information comes across the wire about how Sarah Palin had a charter plane pick her up last night. Or how Mitt Romney is already in Dayton. Then more "BREAKING!!" that Mitt ISN'T in Dayton, but we've gotten word from Pawlenty that he's NOT the choice.
Don't you get it?
The McCain camp wants us to STOP TALKING ABOUT THAT FUCKING AWESOME SPEECH!
That's what all this is about.
McCain has picked his Veep. He just wants the people to stop talking about Obama until he announces his Veep.
He can't create the narrative, so he has to STEAL it!
Dirty bastages.
[Update] I just had a thought: If John McCain picks a woman for a VP, does this mean he would have to enact legislation to have the VP's salary decreased in keeping with voting against the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act? Gotta be consistent, right?
[Update 2] McCain camp starting to piss off the press. They are starting to question the veracity of the McCain campaign if they are going to flat out lie to play this game. I LIKE IT!
Joe Scagborough is stating that this is going to put the campaign into question in the future, when they give news, "We're going to wonder, are you lying to us again."
[Final Update] The pick is Sarah Palin. What a sad pander.
A Trophy VP.
Sarah Palin who just a month ago pondered: Just what does a VP do all day?
Sarah Palin, who less than a month ago, PRAISED Obama's Energy Plan, then scrubbed it from her site, in anticipation for the VP pick.
Sarah Palin, who is so pro-life she is the 44 year old mother of a Down's Syndrome child. Judgement? Maybe she should have stopped having babies before her clock ran out.
This is GREAT NEWS for Obama!!
