As I trust you know by now John McCain, in his infiinite cluelessness has chosen Alaska Governor Sara Palin to be his running mate.

“Why?” you ask.

“She’s got the grit, integrity, good sense and fierce devotion to the common good that is exactly what we need in Washington today.”

Plus zero foreign policy experience, a history of being an elected official that only goes back so far as 2006, and an ongoing investigation into whether she ordered the firing of her sister’s ex-huband from his job. In other words she’s about as useful to John McCain as a dead Parrot

But seeing that her name is Palin, maybe she’s a Lumberjack.

In any case not “Presidential timber,” wouldn’t you say?
