How infuriating/ironically hilarious is it to watch the McCain campaign completely politicize hurricane Gustav by making one big, on-message fuss about how much John McCain refuses to politicize hurricane Gustav?

All this while forcefully attacking Obama (during the hurricane) over Obama supposedly attacking McCain (during the hurricane).

How can anyone honestly argue that the experience gap between Barack Obama and Sarah Palin isn’t large?

Three years ago this month, Sarah Palin was in the middle of her tenure as mayor of a city of 8,000 people (a position to which she was first elected with 909 votes), while Barack Obama was inspecting Russian warhead destruction facilities with Dick Lugar, on his way toward passing sweeping weapons nonproliferation legislation.

There’s just no comparison here; Sarah Palin makes Barack Obama look like Colin Powell.

1. Mistress or Daughter? Or, er, VP Pick? I guess VP pick.

2. Sarah Palin has an entire section on Polar Bears in her Wikipedia profile.

3. Palin once had constitutional beef with Alaska State Rep. John Coghill, R-North Pole, the Gentleman from Santa’s Workshop. (Is America ready for a VP on the naughty list?)

5. She apparently possesses a remarkable ability to autograph impossibly thin wooden dowels. A celebrity we can believe in.

6. Prior to this week, she and McCain were essentially complete strangers; they’d met once before and only spoken twice.

Once and twice! And he trusts her to lead the country, and, like, be the President? Of the country?

And we’re supposed to trust his quickie-rigged confidence in her quickie-assembled Presidential skills, when all we know about Sarah Palin is that she has beef with Santa and a strong associative connection to Polar Bears?

Never thought I’d miss the Mittster. : (

Bad pick, like a runny boogey.
