    What is really sad...

    Is that McCain, when asked what international experience does Palin have, said, with a straight face, "She's governor of Alaska which is next to Russia. And he is still being considered a candidate for president? If a candidate said that 20 to 30 years ago they would have been laughed out of the country.

    The fact that McCain is still a contender is no worse than this article. This is what Republicans with their blind allegiance to party over country have brought us to. It is no wonder we see consider our government and politicians the biggest joke of all.

    Thank you for putting it one the line and showing the naked truth.
