CLEVELAND - Sen. John McCain's bid to become the next U.S. president crashed and burned like it was set up by an angry Mob boss.Either that, or Sarah Palin was really that bad.
Palin, the comically clueless governor of Alaska was handpicked by the supposedly sharp McCain in August to be his Republican running mate. She was a curious choice initially, then became a Wonder woman as she sparked the GOP and gave it new life. Then suddenly, her remarkable ignorance began to surface. She soon became an eyesore and a huge burden to the Republican Party and is at least partly to blame for McCain's stirring defeat to now President-elect Barack Obama.
Too funny.
Since the election ended a month and a half ago, Palin has become a fixture on television to the point of being nauseating. This past weekend, McCain was asked if he'd support Palin for president in 2012 and his response was incredible. "I can't say something like that. We've got some great other young governors. I think you're going to see the governors assume a greater leadership role in our Republican Party," he said.
Ouch!
Let's be clear, though. McCain still admires Palin and believes in her "viability" to be president. He is simply being honest (finally) about other folks who would be better and smarter candidates.
Hey John...we've been feeling that way for months, dude!
Bottom line: McCain just might be a stand up guy after all, and maybe he hasn't lost all of his marbles. You gotta admire his frank language, even though he still hasn't admitted that Palin was the worst choice of his life.
One day though, he just might admit THAT too.
