Sara Palin - regarding her qualificatiions to be VP, being a mayor and a governor I think involves executive duties. Obama - what has he ever run, what executive decisions, however small, has he ever made? But, let me get this straight, Obama - THE ONE - is qualified to be president, but Ms. Palin isn't qualified to be VP. How stupid do they think people are. Pretty stupid when you see the mindless adoration being given to the hollow man. As long as he is standing and reading from a speech or teleprompter he sounds like heaven, but don't let him speak on his own, it's stutters and uhs - wake up America, there is nothing - no substance - to this man. He is just the hood ornament, I want to know who's driving the bus

Aren't you this Andrew Malcolm?

"Andrew Malcolm, longtime New York Times columnist and best-selling author, quit writing, moved to Montana, and became press secretary to then-Montana Gov. Marc Racicot only to be snagged by George W. Bush as deputy communications manager for the Bush presidential campaign. Later he turned down a top post in the Bush administration…He’ll join the Los Angeles Times editorial board by month’s end with a broad mandate to write on myriad topics."

Oh, that's why you write the stuff that has no basis in fact.

Because Media Matters has already debunked each of your last three posts here.

Keep the lies coming, we will continue to debunk you.

Mr. Malcolm - Is John McCain sending surrogates to the shows because of his war injuries?

Why don't you call and ask him on his Blackberry. Or does he need an aide to press the answer button? I mean with all those crippled fingers that you write about......

So first we had "Obama is a celebrity and hence unqualified." Now the liars who brought you torture, rendition, Iraq, bank failures etc. present SP - No More Unqualified Than...er, Jack Abramoff? They might be doing jail time together it seems.
Meanwhile the liemeisters will keep telling us, "No, don't vote for a scary black man! Fear! Fear!"

Terrifying to think Gov. Palin could end up as our president. Not necessarily for her inexperience, glaring though that is. More because of her views: talking war right out of the gate, refusing to believe global warming is human-caused or requires rapid, assertive action (we only have a few years to try to prevent a massive climate refugee migration around the world, which will SAVAGE the world economy), her belief that dinosaurs lived just a few thousand years ago, when life was created--just think about your kids learning that the sciences of biology, geology, paleontology, and on and on, are just wrong... you think we're doing poorly now in relation to education around the world? And most pathetic of all is her belief that 12-year-old rape victims should be forced by the state to have the molester's child. It takes a kind of monster to threaten your child or mine with such a vicious fate.

This person has no business anywhere near the White House, except maybe to visit with a crowd of tourists. You Repub partisans have just buried your good judgment, supporting someone like this. But I guess that's your job, to mindlessly support "your party" no matter how destructive and ignorant the candidate will be, even to you and your children. That's why you gave us Bush. And now you're trying to do it to us again. It's civic insanity.
