Palin VP Pick is Just another Example of Bad Decision Making and McCain Shooting From the Hip
McCain has demonstrated time and time again that he has difficulty making sound decisions. I'm actually shocked that his VP pick was not fully vetted.

This is just another example of McCain shooting at the hip and missing the target.

1. McCain threw another shitfit
when his paymasters said he couldn't have Leiberman.
So he said.. fuck it and picked the most inexperienced rightwing loonbat he could find.

This wasn't a decision.. it was a temper tantrum.

2. I'm seeing this assertion that she wasn't fully vetted.
Where is this coming from?

To me it doesn't sound like a fully vetted candidate.

4. Oh is that what people are referencing...
It doesn't look like she was fully vetted to me either...she seems to have made comments pretty recently that will get her in trouble.

5. Her staff reportedly had no knowledge...
Early reports yesterday were that she was still in Alaska. People closest to her didn't even know she was a on a plane bound for Ohio.

6. Sounds like just a cursory review of her financials maybe.
Seriously, I wonder how thorough this crew is. I notice McCain's people haven't defended her on Wootengate, like Obama's crew mentioned they reviewed Hunter's situation.
