Original article: McCain's Palin pick is the epitome of tokenism

New Reality Show - "America's Next Top VP!!!!"

Really, this must be a reality show, not an election. Too bad for the republicans, we cannot text our votes in. We actually have to go to a polling place, sit down, and make a hopefully rational decision about who might be running the country if a 72-76 year old man croaks.

What a desparate, patronizing joke. It is sick and dangerous. It's akin to a sales rep on the floor of an Apple store being asked to take over the CCO or CFO spot for Steve Jobs.
