Sarah Palin believed that Sen. John McCain chose her to be his running mate in 2008 because of "God's plan," according to a top political strategist in the Arizona Republican's campaign.
No wonder all these wing-nuts go ga-ga over Sarah.
In an interview with the CBS news magazine "60 Minutes," Steve Schmidt described Palin as "very calm - nonplussed" after McCain met with her at his Arizona ranch just before putting her on the Republican ticket.
Schmidt said he asked Palin about her serenity in the face of becoming "one of the most famous people in the world." He quoted her as saying, "It's God's plan."
Hey, its better to believe that it was "God's Plan" rather than the reality of McCain getting pissed because he couldn't have his choice of Lieberman because his staff wanted Pawlenty....
ReplyDeleteSo, like the little hot head he is McCain said, "...give me that woman from Alaska..."
The scenario TAO laid out is quite likely close to what happened. I've been around hot head officials who when they couldn't get their way purposely fucked things up. Or they walked away so they wouldn't have to deal with it allowing someone else to fuck it up.
ReplyDeleteIn the Gospel According to Sarah, supply-side is to economics what trickle-down is to pregnancy test strips.
ReplyDeleteIt's 1:30 AM here and I need this humor.
ReplyDeleteMcCain didn't know squat about Palin but I don't he was even smart enough to care. The tail chased the dog and got him in the ass. A few months ago McCain admitted that it wasn't a good mix. Duh, to say the least.
Truth, I think McCain can mess things up by simply standing there and not opening his mouth.
Octo: You're wickedly funny but right on target.
Night all, I think.
If it was "God's Plan" she should run, it was also part of the same plan they lost.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I like the "gah-gah." Shouldn't write late at night.
ReplyDeleteHolte: True, but as you know, she appeals to a lot of people who believe this mumbo-jumbo too.
