I dunno. I am not pissed off, so I guess I don't qualify. Which morons were you referring to?

I think if anything tends to irk people, it is the effort to spin things to the point of falsifying them. Calling her qualified to command because, as Governor, she was the titular commander of the Alaskan National Guard, whom she dispatched to one forest fire, Ibelieve, or the proposition that she understands international tension because she lives with fifty miles of the Bering Strait, is insultingly disingenuous.

"WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican presidential candidate John McCain says his vice presidential pick, Sarah Palin, was already an experienced government official while his Democratic rival, Barack Obama, was working as a community organizer.

She wasn't. Palin was finishing college, getting married and working as a TV sportscaster when Obama was directing a church-based community group on Chicago's South Side in 1985-88.

McCain sought to make the comparison in an appearance on Fox News Sunday, criticizing Obama as too inexperienced to be in the White House despite his choice of a running mate who's also being called too unseasoned for that role.

Challenged about his vice presidential choice, McCain said as governor of Alaska for the last two years, Palin "has had enormous responsibilities, none of which Senator Obama had." Later, McCain elaborated that "as a governor, she has had executive experience. She didn't sit in the state legislature."

The same contrast could be made with McCain himself, whose entire 26-year political career has been spent in Congress...." (AP)
