We probably should be more worried about McCane's Alzheimers.

So, when Palin gets knocked up by hubbie while McCain is resting at a nearby nuthouse; that won't be a problem at all...

Remember, these folks don't believe in birth control or abortion. We may very well end up seeing another historical precedent - the Speaker of the House as president!

I don't know if this has come up in this 22-page thread, but my mom told me tonight that the reason that she didn't like Palin was that she was probably going to hit menopause during her stint in office, and that makes her nervous - nuke stuff and all.

For whatever it's worth...

Oh, come one.  She's only 44.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menopause

The average age of menopause in the Western world is 51 years, and the normal age range for the occurrence of menopause is somewhere between the age of 45 and 55. Last period ever occurring between the ages of 55 to 60 is known as a "late menopause". An "early menopause" on the other hand is defined as last period ever between the age of 40 to 45.

Re: So ... any guesses about McCain's running mate?

The real question is, why is it called "menopause" if it doesn't start up again?


I still believe in liberalism today as much as I ever did, but, oh, there was a happy time when I believed in liberals.

Investigation into Palin Now on Fast Track
Sources Tell ABC News that Report Will Be Released Almost Three Weeks Early

By LEN TEPPER
September 5, 2008—

ABC News has exclusively learned that Alaska Senator Hollis French will announce today that he is moving up the release date of his investigation into whether Gov. Sarah Palin abused her office to get the Alaska public safety commissioner, Walt Monegan, fired. The results of the investigation were originally scheduled for release Oct. 31 but will now come almost three weeks earlier, according to sources.

The announcement is set for 9 a.m. AKDT time.

The Alaska state senator running an investigation of Gov. Palin had accused the McCain campaign of using stall tactics to prevent him from releasing his final report by Oct. 31, four days before the November election.

"It's likely to be damaging to the Governor's administration," said Senator Hollis French, a Democrat, appointed the project manager for a bi-partisan State Senate Legislative Counsel Committee investigation.

Palin, who has denied any wrongdoing and has said she has nothing to hide, has hired private lawyers to represent her in the matter.

In case there is any question:
The first quote is from this interview (about 2/3rds of the way down), printed on July 11, 2008.

The second quote is from Palin's VP acceptance speech (about halfway down).

A petard was a sapper's charge, and if it went off while the sapper was laying it he would have been hoisted with his own petard.

Props to Tallgeese for having his own researcher / footnoter.

He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew.

McCain's now trying to shut down the Troopergate investigation.  Same script, different cast.

McCain campaign continues to withhold Palin from the press and will do so until she is treated with "deference". When that time comes, she will only do interviews on the terms and conditions (read: FACTS ON THE GROUND). Nevermind all the stuff about her pregnant teenage daughter and what not, this is worst of all. Isn't McCain supposed to be extraordinarily open to the press? What happened to that?

Yeah, I thought this thread had gone below the fold so I put that link in my own Republican bashing personal attack thread instead.
