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.
