MCCAIN AND HIS ACE UNDER THE TABLE


MCCAIN, you've been a bad, bad boy. To pick a woman for your running mate. "What a move" you might be thinking. Well just like any man should be qualified to do the job, so applies for any woman. Alaska's governor might just be fine running "the last frontier" state, however, in her two years governing, has she been able to end the highest rates of drunkenness and drug abuse in her state? Has she been able to bring to the 100s of small islands that compose her state, ways other than alcohol and drugs to cope with isolation, among other maladies? What is she going to teach Americans, how to hunt moose?
It's true that unless you are Dick Cheney running the show, who cares who the V.P. is? In picking a 44-year-old woman as his running mate, McCain keeps alive Alaska's tradition where often older men marry much younger women, sometimes even minors, all under the complacency of law enforcement and the general population.
The move seems perfectly calculated but, will Americans fall for it?
McCain, you've been a bad, bad, boy.
