Sarah's model is Cheney. Not a reasonable model. Usually only when the president himself is capable of virtually nothing--even a coherent sentence.

Shows that Sarah--like her defenders-- has very little knowledge of US history. Or probably much else. Except smearing. No wonder Mr. Hypocrite, AKA the CEO of Smears R Us, likes her.

If the president has anything to recommend him, the VP is usually frustrated beyond belief--hence the "bucket of warm spit" (maybe worse).

Only recent exception--when the president himself was more than an amiable barfly, as is the current occupant of the Oval Office --is Clinton--he let Gore handle some areas.

McCain is miles above GWB in intellectual ability--and interest.

GWB has neither.

And only the absurd notion of half the electorate that they just wanted a drinking buddy got him in in 2000. And the spectacularly successful propaganda campaign of 2004 did the job that year.
