You can’t possibly be serious.

John McCain, you’ve outdone yourself.

With the threat of Hurricane Gustav on the media radar, the GOP is scrambling to do whatever it can to get its statements in the media-whore circus before the weather takes over the front page news and renders their fear-mongering useless. Of course, it isn’t Republican remarks unless it wreaks of political desperation.

The RNC Chairman John Boehner proclaimed that Sarah Palin “has more executive experience than Senator Obama or Senator Biden or both of them put together.”

Wait, what?

As if everyone is stupid, it’s easy to recall that McCain has blasted Obama for only being in Washington politics for less than a decade for the better part of his entire general campaign. Surprise, now it’s exactly what we need in a VP who would likely succeed McCain if he lives up to the fears of everyone who’s reasonable enough to know that 72 is ripe for dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease.

Palin, on a good day, collectively has less than two years of governor’s experience, a year’s worth of sitting on small-town city council, and absolutely no foreign policy experience. Not to mention the five kids she has, and her avid enthusiasm for guns and fishing. Not to mention she’s more conservative on every single issue than almost anybody out there.

Just what the doctor ordered.

Boehner continued on to say that, “This is a chief executive of a state, and administrators have to make decisions,” he told reporters at a luncheon sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor. “Senators and congressmen get to vote yes or no.”

And every English teacher who manages to have the patience to read this garbage is banging their head on a wall because of the obvious contradiction of logic so dutifully handed to us by someone who appears to be eloquent beyond our comprehension. And by eloquent, I mean deluded.

Of course, during the whole process of everyone trying to figure out who this feminist’s worst nightmare truly is, we also get the pleasure of discovering her 17-year-old daughter is happily pregnant (5 months now), and will marry the father and keep the kid. Surprise. The social conservatism card comes flying out of the back.

It should be expected for the Palin/McCain camp to “welcome” the whole situation, despite the fact that premarital sex and teen pregnancy is openly opposed by the very group of people that are now embracing it in this “special situation”. Which honestly, it’s about as special as Palin’s kid with down syndrome, which she humanely “kept”. Yeah, that’s right, I went there (she deserves it).

McCain has already secured the zealots on the right-wing without so much as the blink of an eye. But what he’s doing now with Palin is pandering to the 18 million voters that Hilary Clinton is scrambling to swing back to Obama after they were let down in the primaries. Go figure. The political party best known for the most scandalous of corruption incidents and allegations is resorting to the lowest tactics possible.

Is it ironic that football season has just started?
