a random rant: McCain-Palin

I've quite a few thoughts on McCain-Palin this day:

McCAIN - At hospital today, I was subjected to his CNN-televised press conference. (On a gurney and IV'd, I couldn't escape!). He carried on and on, re: what he'd do, who he would fire to make amends for the current economic crisis. I noticed after each "sound bite", he literally took an active pause -- not only for reaction, but during which, the look on his face was so transparent: "Are they really believing what I'm saying???". Pardon me, but WTF?

No, I'm not surprised. But, as a keen observer of the politically nonverbal, I was refreshingly disgusted. The man himself clearly doesn't even believe his own lies and BS. Even as deluded as he is, he STILL doesn't. After this, I might be somewhat inclined to believe that subconcious guilt or regret over his "real" past agenda (re: economics/dereg) was in his mind somewhere. But, eh, NO. He's too much of a historical political Whore...

PALIN - The debate with Joe Biden is almost upon us. Why are people trying to anticipate her "performance"? The woman is VOID! In every way. And, her only "political" role, period, is as a distraction, a manipulation, and an insult to America's politically literate. (And, if you're "unwise" enough to be a party faithful Repub, she's a double insult. If you don't see it, you're blind.)

This will be a "nothing" event, just like last Fridays McCain-Obama debate. But, it can't even be or compare to that, really. You can't have a "debate" of Biden v Palin; they're unequally yoked, the gap is too wide to bridge. What you can "have" is a polite sparing on issues that could turn on Biden. Palin -- she'll come out of it no different. She can't look any more stupid, any more intelligent. She's nothing. And, neither is McCain.
