  #1 - it’s a Wonkette category. Hit the link and you’ll see what it is. Wonkette is too funny. To see what got me started on that, you can read the comments below this post at CT Local Politics.

  Fox continues to flog the story. Kay Bailey Hutchinson was on a little while ago and flatly denied that she is under consideration. Said she had made it clear early on that it isn’t what she has in mind for her future.

  The coverage on Fox is literally breathless. The anchors sound like they are literally panting as they speak. Pretty annoying actually. Let’s see what else is on…

  Let’s hope it’s someone younger than McCain. It was bad enough when Reagan was in office. I wonder when it was when the Alzheimer’s truly set in? Could it have been before he left office?

  #4: That’s easy because there is no one older than McCain. It’s true that his mother is much older and her mind is sharp, but he also inherited his father’s genes, so there is no guarantee that his mind and body will remain healthy.

  #4 & 5: I think it was the assassination attempt, in retrospect (speaking of Reagan). I think people close to him have said he was never the same after that. McCain’s taken a lot of abuse in his life. We’d be foolish to ignore that fact.

  Seniors seem to be the most skeptical about his being up to the job. They know what a drag it is getting old.

  I am not quite as old as Senator McCain, and I am in very good physical condition. Still, I knew when it was time for me to retire. The pressures of being a senator cannot compare to those of being the president of this country, especially in such troubled times.

  Anyone who uses his strength to endure imprisonment needs to recall how much younger he was at the time.

  McCain is too old for the job. A man who cannot even remember how many homes he and his wife own must be having serious memory problems.

  His memory seems to be a recurring issue:

  From Media Matters at http://mediamatters.org/items/200803180005

  In a March 18 article, Associated Press writer Alfred de Montesquiou reported that Sen. John McCain “voiced concern that Tehran is bringing militants over the border into Iran for training before sending them back to fight U.S. troops in Iraq, and blamed Syria for allegedly continuing to ‘expedite’ a flow of foreign fighters.” Similarly, in a March 18 post on CNN.com’s Political Ticker blog, Emily Sherman wrote: “During a press conference in Amman, Jordan, the Arizona senator also said there is a continued concern that Iran may be training Iraqi extremists in Iran and then sending them back into Iraq.” In fact, McCain did not refer generically to “militants” or “Iraqi extremists”; he claimed that Iranian operatives are “taking al-Qaeda into Iran, training them and sending them back,” a misstatement that Washington Post reporters Cameron W. Barr and Michael D. Shear wrote “threatened to undermine McCain’s argument that his decades of foreign policy experience make him the natural choice to lead a country at war with terrorists.”

  After Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT), who was with McCain, reportedly whispered something in his ear, McCain reportedly corrected himself, saying: “I’m sorry, the Iranians are training extremists, not al-Qaeda.” U.S. officials have reportedly claimed Iran is training Shiite militants; Al Qaeda is predominantly a Sunni organization.

  Neither Montesquiou nor Sherman noted McCain’s gaffe in their articles. Nor did they note that McCain reportedly corrected himself after Lieberman reportedly whispered something to him.

  In a March 18 blog post, Politico senior political writer Jonathan Martin noted that McCain spokesman Brian Rogers said: “In a press conference today, John McCain misspoke and immediately corrected himself by stating that Iran is in fact supporting radical Islamic extremists in Iraq, not Al Qaeda — as the transcript shows. Democrats have launched political attacks today because they know the American people have deep concerns about their candidates’ judgment and readiness to lead as commander in chief.”

  The Post reported:

  Speaking to reporters in Amman, the Jordanian capital, McCain said he and two Senate colleagues traveling with him continue to be concerned about Iranian operatives “taking al-Qaeda into Iran, training them and sending them back.”

  Pressed to elaborate, McCain said it was “common knowledge and has been reported in the media that al-Qaeda is going back into Iran and receiving training and are coming back into Iraq from Iran, that’s well known. And it’s unfortunate.” A few moments later, Sen. Joseph Lieberman, standing just behind McCain, stepped forward and whispered in the presidential candidate’s ear. McCain then said: “I’m sorry, the Iranians are training extremists, not al-Qaeda.”

  The mistake threatened to undermine McCain’s argument that his decades of foreign policy experience make him the natural choice to lead a country at war with terrorists. In recent days, McCain has repeatedly said his intimate knowledge of foreign policy make him the best equipped to answer a phone ringing in the White House late at night.

  […]

  The U.S. has long asserted that elements of the Iranian security forces have been training and supplying weapons to Iraq’s Shiite militias. Iran is an overwhelmingly Shiite country whose government has applauded the emergence of a Shiite-led government in Iraq but has denied supporting Shiite militias inside Iraq.

  Al-Qaeda in Iraq is a predominantly Sunni militant group which is blamed for deadly mass killings of Shiites, along with attacks on U.S. forces. Some extremist Sunni consider Shiites to be heretics and therefore legitimate targets of attack.

  The schism between Islam’s Sunni and Shiite sects grew out of a dispute over the leadership of the faithful following the death of the Prophet Muhammad in 632 AD.

  As the blog Think Progress noted, this was not the first time McCain has misidentified Iraqis who the U.S. government says are being trained in Iran. On the March 17 broadcast of Salem Radio Network’s The Hugh Hewitt Show, McCain said, “As you know, there are al Qaeda operatives that are taken back into Iran, given training as leaders, and they’re moving back into Iraq.”

  Video of McCain’s assertion during the March 18 press conference that Iranians have been training Al Qaeda can be found here.

  From the March 18 Associated Press article:

  Sen. John McCain, the Republican presidential nominee-in-waiting, expressed fresh concern Tuesday about Iran’s influence in Iraq and rising sway in Mideast.

  McCain noted U.S. military officials recently discovered a cache of armor-piercing bombs in Iraq, and he hinted the explosives had been provided by Iran. U.S. officials have long been saying that Iran provides explosively formed penetrators, or EFPs to, Shiite militias in Iraq, although the Iranian government denies any role.

  The U.S. military reported two such finds during the past week.

  McCain also voiced concern that Tehran is bringing militants over the border into Iran for training before sending them back to fight U.S. troops in Iraq, and blamed Syria for allegedly continuing to “expedite” a flow of foreign fighters.

  “We continue to be concerned about Iranian influence and assistance to Hezbollah as well as Iranian pursuit of nuclear weapons,” McCain said.

  He added that, if elected president, he would coordinate better with Europe to impose a “broad range of sanctions and punishments” on Tehran, to “convince them that their activities, particularly development of nuclear weapons, is not a beneficial goal to seek.”

  McCain declined to comment on whether he could back an eventual decision to strike Iran if Tehran doesn’t cease its nuclear activities.

  In response to a question about possible U.S. strikes against Tehran, McCain only said: “At the end of the day, we cannot afford having a nuclear armed Iran.”

  He warned that any hasty pullout from Iraq would be a mistake that would favor Iran and al-Qaida.

  “We continue to be very concerned about the Iranian influence in Iraq and in the region,” McCain said.

  McCain ran into trouble last year when he joked about bombing Iran, giving a campaign audience in South Carolina a rendition of the opening lyrics of the Beach Boys rock classic “Barbara Ann,” calling the tune “Bomb Iran” and changing the words to “bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, anyway, ah …”

  McCain, who has linked his political future to U.S. success in Iraq, was in the wartorn country on Monday for meetings with Iraqi and U.S. diplomatic and military officials.

  “We were very encouraged by the success of the surge and the reduction in U.S. casualties,” McCain told reporters in Jordan, where he stopped on the next leg of a congressional visit that will also take him to Israel, Britain and France.

  “We are succeeding, but we still have a long way to go,” he warned. “Al-Qaida is on the run, they’re not defeated.”

  A “major battle” remains to be fought to reclaim the northern Iraqi city of Mosul, he said, stating it was a success for the U.S. that Iraqi troops were now “taking the lead in that struggle” against al-Qaida.

  Chris MC, read your post about FOX. Did you ever listen to Chris Matthews on MSNBC? He has said, and I quote, “Listening to Obama speak , my legs start to tingle”. Good Grief! If all he did was pant, if woiuld be easier to tolerate. And don’t get me started with Oberman!

  #7 I would take McCain with his age over a someone like Obama, who has been “marketed” with out any experience, anyday. Obama has no resume worth even discussing. Ask anyone to name some of his legislative accomplishments and they can’t answer you. Throw in his ties with Rev Wright & Farakan, Tony Rezko, Bill Ayers & Dorn, to name a few and you have some serious questions to ask Mr. Obama. Up to now, he has not answered or has tried to spin his way out of answering them.

  This is what Jimmah said about Obama (the “boy” reference):

  JIMMY CARTER: Around the world. Around the world. And I think it already has sent a wave of approbation and admiration in many countries around the world, just knowing that this black boy who grew up with just a loving mother and grandparents — and that was about all he had to start with — does now have a chance to become the nominee of the Democratic Party for president.

  Fox News is reporting that Sarah Palin, Governor of Massachusetts, is the VP pick. They’re saying they have sources backstage in Dayton telling them this.

  So much for the experienced v inexperienced argument.

• 17 Chris MC // Aug 29, 2008 at 10:38 am

  DAYTON, Ohio — A senior campaign official in the John McCain campaign confirmed to FOX News on Friday that the presumptive Republican presidential nominee will name Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate.

• 20 Anonymous // Aug 29, 2008 at 11:17 am

  The GOP says Obama doesn’t have enough experience and McCain’s VP pick has only two years as governor of Alaska and before that was mayor of a town with 6,700 population. What chutzpah.

  Looks like a reverse of the Obama ticket to me.
  So what’s wrong with that? She seems to have a hell of a head on her shoulders! can’t wait to see the new ads popping up!

• 22 Chris MC // Aug 29, 2008 at 12:02 pm

  There is a huge difference between the two. Obama has won his party’s nomination by challenging the Clintons. Palin is an appointee. That alone makes the comparison invalid.

  If there is a line of thinking that Palin is a good alternative to Hillary for women, the response so far is that like Dan Quayle is no Jack Kennedy, Palin is no Clinton.

  Another point that is being made is that her strongest attribute is the appeal to the conservative base.

  The biggest problem may be that it takes the experience v inexperience argument away from McCain.

  The Obama campaign so far is sticking to its theme of who has the temperament and judgment to be President, and this demonstrates very poor judgment.

• 23 anon again (naturally) // Aug 29, 2008 at 12:04 pm

  Seems like the Republicans think that women were for Hillary just because she’s a woman — and not because she has cajones and depth of experience. Put a female on the ticket (they must be thinking) and the Hillary-ites will come flocking away from Obama’s platform to McCain’s. I think not.

  Alaska’s first female governor arrived at the Capitol in 2006 on an ethics reform platform after defeating two former governors in the primary and general elections.

  In the primary, Palin defeated incumbent Gov. Frank Murkowski, who also had 22 years of experience in the U.S. Senate.

  Her task didn’t seem any easier in the general election, but she handily beat Tony Knowles, a popular Democrat who had served two earlier terms as governor.

  During her first year in office, Palin moved away from the powerful old guard of the state Republican Party and has refused to kowtow to the powerful oil industry, instead presiding over a tax increase on oil company profits that now has the state’s treasury swelling.

  Palin also asked Alaska’s congressional delegation to be more selective in seeking earmarks after what came to be known as the “Bridge to Nowhere” turned into a national embarrassment and a symbol of piggish pork-barrel spending — thanks to McCain’s relentless criticism of the now-abandoned project.

  Before becoming governor, her political experience consisted of terms as Wasilla’s mayor and councilwoman and a stint as head of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission.

  “Sarah Palin for her entire political career has been underestimated,” said Paulette Simpson of the Alaska Federation of Republican Women. “She’s tough, she’s tenacious. I believe that she does have what it takes to get out there. Again, her ability to connect with voters and make a case is very, very, very strong.”

  Palin’s confrontations with the state GOP began when Murkowski named her chairwoman of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission. There, Palin exposed current Alaska Republican Party Chairman Randy Ruedrich, who was also on the commission, for ethical violations.

  In 2005, Palin co-filed an ethics complaint against Murkowski’s longtime aide and then attorney general, Gregg Renkes, for having a financial interest in a company that stood to gain from an international trade deal he was helping craft.

  The Palins have five children: Track, 19; Bristol 17; Willow 14; Piper, 7, and Trig, who was born in April.

  Track enlisted in the Army in 2007 on the sixth anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, and has been assigned to Fort Wainwright in Fairbanks.

  Palin was born Feb. 11, 1964, in Idaho, but her parents moved to Alaska shortly after her birth to teach. She received a bachelor of science degree in communications-journalism from the University of Idaho in 1987.

• 29 MY THOUGHTS // Aug 29, 2008 at 1:42 pm

  She cut government spending in Alaska to the bone, including her own travel and expense services as governor. THAT ALONE SCARES THE DEATH OUT OF LIBERALS.

  What really scares the Liberals is that she is a LIFETIME MEMBER OF THE NRA

  and

  SHE KNOWS ABOUT ALASKAN OLD DRILLING AND WANTS IT OPENED FOR HER STATE.

  SPENDING CUTS
  GUN OWNERSHIP
  HUNTING
  DRILLING

  And not bad looking either.

  In the even she becomes president I bet she will be a lot more level headed then Biden when it comes to aggression against the USA. He will bluster and bloviate but do nothing.

  She will smile and have a big baseball bat in her hand behind her back.

  Chris MC, anonymous(again) and John Q:
  Posters 28 & 29 Hit the nail on the head. McCain did the right thing by putting Palin on the ticket. Some of you think this won’t effect the Hillary supporters..better think again. While Palin wasn’t a household name like Lieberman or Romney, She has an impressive resume, which is more than you can say for Obama. All things being even, if both candidates could really pick whomever they wanted, they probaly would of pick others. However, politics is a chess game. Obama’s pick was to help him in his piss poor knowledge of foreign affairs and McCain’s pick went for those disheartened 18 million women, which by the way Obama was not been winning over. Checkmate McCain. Anon again(naturally) couldn’t be more wrong again(naturally).
  John Q, after that hollywood production Axelrod produced, with all the media attention & bias, the DNC’c treasure chest of money, you’d think Obama should have a 20 point lead at this point - but he doesn’t, does he? lets see in the next few weeks after Both parties have had their conventions and have botten their bounce where we wind up. Doesn’t Obama’s buddy Rezko get sentenced and sent to prision next month? Think the media will look into that a bit more I think and finally get some answers. Obama better hope for his sake Axelrod doesn’t try to dismiss it as he tried with his connection with William Ayers and his ridiculous comment, “oh, they lived in the same neighborhood and their kids went to school together”. Sure, Ayers kids are what in their 20’s and Obama kids are pre-teens. Also saw documentation comming out soon that Obama & Ayers were A LOT more than “just neighbors”.
  Another note. Up to now Axelrod has scripted Obama’s speeches from slogans, cliches and lots of movie scripts, hence Axelrod’s hollywood production, aka the Democtratic Convention. Our great Republican President, Abraham Lincoln said, “You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time”. People eventually do realize when they are being Bamboozeled & Hoodwinked. For a better explaination of those terms, look here:

  I AM FOR CHANGE.

  Who does he select for VP? Biden, one of the oldest Washington insiders and back room schemers that are in congress today.

  McCain picks a WOMAN, WHO DRAGGED HER STATES CROOKED POLITICIANS KICKING AND SCREAMING OUT INTO THE VIEW OF THE TAXPAYERS OF HER STATE.

  I bet those insiders don’t think she is inexperienced or weak. She also cut spending and taxes in her state to the bone, including cutting out her own expenses on PERKS that other governors took for granted.

  I can’t wait for the VP debates, let’s see if Bully Boy Biden who is known for his hot head, can upset her, or will she in so many words tell him Go F yourself?

  BIDEN = SAME OLD SAME OLD

  PALIN = CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE

  Biden had better hope that they don’t hold the VP debate out in the wilderness of ANWR, because Palin may have to just save his butt from getting lost, and having to eat his hand to survive,
  eaten by a bear, or freezing to death. He may be a BIG GUY INSIDER in Washington but he is a wimp in the REAL WORLD.
