Don't be a fool

Sarah Palin has given this party an energy boost, but don’t let McCain fool you. He clearly picked her to appeal to the conservative base he could never connect with on his own. BUT DON’T BE A FOOL – at the end of the day, McCain is still making the decisions so Palin’s policy standpoints are worthless if they don’t agree with her boss. For example, McCain is pro-choice which angered plently of people so he brings in Palin who is pro-life. Suddenly these fools are happy because she shares their views. But when it comes time to making the policy decision, do you think it will at all matter that Palin is pro-life? No. So don’t let McCain fool you into getting you excited again. The only thing Palin accomplishes is fooling the idiots that actually think that now the presidential ticket agrees with them and their political views. Nothing has changed.

I understand your concern. But would you slow down on the word "fool", pls.

So what’s exactly your point, palinspolicies?

Because McCain and Palin will NEVER talk to each other

And thanks for all your top quality contributions over the years! I particularly enjoy your foreign affairs entries.

By the way, I’d like to post a diary that includes a few images, but I don’t have access to a public server from which to host them. Any suggestions?

“‘You come of the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve,’ said Aslan. ‘And that is both honour enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth. Be content.’” — C.S. Lewis’ “Prince Caspian”

and don't you be a tool....your concern over McCain is quite suspect!

I wish you many more as well.

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”

And since it's open thread.. a riddle!

OK, it’s not really a tricky one – after all, it’s Friday, and for most of us the ALU is already turned off:

[Q] What does it take to get a Democrat to resign from office?
[A] a felony conviction.

Remember, I told you it was a riddle, not a joke. See Kwame Kilpatrick and William Jefferson.
