Vote McCain/Spears '08!

Yeah, I went there. Sarah Palin, is starting to look more like Lynne Spears than a legitimate Vice-Presidential nominee. Let's review two key details about this GOP shooting star:
-Apparently, there have been rumors since Palin was announced as the VP nom, that her 4 month old son was actually the child of Palin's 17 year old daughter, Bristol. Nope, according to statement from the Palin camp today, Bristol's bundle of joy isn't due for another 4 months. So that means Sarah's going to be the 44 year old mother of a special-needs infant and the doting grandmother of her currently unwed teenage daughter's toddler about the same time she's supposed to assuming the second highest office in the executive branch of the federal government. Barack Obama has taken the only logical course of action and called off his dogs, stating that candidates' families are off-limits. But this kind of gaping vulnerability is too difficult for the rest of the democratic establishment and the media to ignore.
-Before all the baby-mama-drama, Sarah had already gotten herself wrapped up in another scandal. Back in 2006, Palin demanded that Alaska Public Safety Commissioner Walter Monegan fire Alaska State Trooper, Mike Wooten. Why? Because Wooten, Palin's brother-in-law had been having an affair with a married woman. The affair is certainly contemptible, but Palin overstepped her bounds as governor when she proceeded to dismiss Monegan after he refused to fire Wooten for cheating on Palin's sister. Both parties have now lawyered-up and an independent investigation into Palin's actions is expected to conclude by October.

So if Governor Palin is looking like she might not be the perfect VP pick after all, here's the kicker: McCain knew about all of this before he chose her. I was already of the opinion that McCain was completely out of touch with the electorate he was attempting to woo. But his decision regarding his running mate has sealed the deal. McCain is simply unfit to elect, as is Palin.
