If It Talks Like a Liar…

Politics has become an act in precision. With news organizations and citizen reporters watching (and recording) every public appearance, all it takes is a wrong word—macaca, say—to sink a campaign. 

And yet the McCain campaign has seemed to drop all notions of caution in the last few days following the announcement of Sarah Palin as McCain’s running mate. Obama is hitting the GOP nominees hard on what can only be described as lies from the mouths of McCain, Palin, and their surrogates.

So what is this new feature?

We call it People More Qualified Than Sarah Palin for VP!

Just Can’t Get Enough

The jury’s still out on the decision to select Palin as McCain’s VP. But one thing most people have agreed on: John McCain is taking a risk picking a first-term governor with no national recognition and even less exposure to the national spotlight. 

ABC:

“Sarah Palin: A High Risk/Reward Pick for McCain”

CNN:

“John McCain’s brilliant but risky “Hail Mary pass” choice for vice president, Alaska Gov. Sarah ‘Barracuda’ Palin, has the political world saying first: Who? And then: Why?”

NBC: 

“She represents the most audacious gamble in McCain’s career and a gamble with the fortunes of the Republican Party.”

So it was a surprise to see this snapshot at talkingpointsmemo.com from Palin’s speech today.

 

Freudian Slip?
