McCain: No, really, we vetted her!

As revelations about Sarah Palin mount, the McCain team scrambles to dispel reports that they didn't know what they were getting into.

    By "vetted," they meant Palin got her rabies shot.

    Palin is a rabid rightwinger who will finish sinking the Titanic that is McCain's misguided candidacy.

    Palin has been described as the face of the future GOP, which I find comforting, because she is the unvarnished extremist behind that party's feel-good rhetoric. Anti-science, anti-choice, anti-environment, anti-intellectual, but pro-gun, pro-wildlife slaugher, pro-theocracy. Sarah Palin is the pretty face masking Christian fascism, and as we're seeing, it takes very little for that mask to drop and reveal the monster beneath.

    It's a good day to be a Democrat!
