<p>I literally LOLed at this Campaign Comment from Keith Olbermann.</p>
<p><iframe height="339" width="425" src="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22425001/vp/27313586#27313586" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe></p>
<h2>How can anyone vote for the ticket with this woman on it?</h2>
<p>A woman who, while seemingly genial enough, you betcha, <strong>has not grasped the fundamental aspects of the job she is running for</strong> &#8212; a relatively straightforward position at that?  A woman who has a 1 in 4 chance of succeeding to <strong>the most powerful leadership position in the world</strong>?</p>
<p>Would a manager at <em>McDonald&#8217;s</em> hire a teenager would couldn&#8217;t wrap their head around the intricacies of the Fry Making Machine?</p>
<p>My friends, it is all <strong>a big joke</strong>.  A joke.  The GOP has made a <strong>mockery</strong> of the presidential campaign process.  And Republican voters (<span style="text-decoration: underline;">like me</span>, only voting for 1 Democrat this year: Mr. Barack Hussein Obama) should be <strong>angered and insulted</strong> that this is their &#8220;best ticket&#8221;.</p>
<p><em>Somewhere, Mitt Romney is smiling and shaking his head&#8230;</em></p>

And the resulting skewed perception will be: &#8220;<em>Hey, she&#8217;s not that bad.</em>&#8221;  And the blame will return to the <strong>asshole Liberal MainStream Media elitists</strong> who <em>dare</em> back a Vice Presidential candidate into a corner and grill her on what&#8217;s on her coffee table.</p>

<p>The writers at the <em>Daily Show</em> must have a massive database of video clips and their textual annotations to be able to parse them all to find gems like this.  Watch <strong>Karl Rove</strong> as he heaps praise upon Sarah Palin for her governing experience in the fine metropolis of <strong>Wasilla, Alaska</strong>.  This after, oh wait, Karl Rove trashed Virginia governor <strong>Tim Kaine</strong> for <em>only</em> running the town of <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Richmond, Virginia</span></strong>.  Other flip-flops are featured in the clip.</p>
<p>Surely all politicians are adept at saying what&#8217;s right for the moment, but the Republicans are <strong>making history</strong> (re-writing it?) doing so in this 2008 Presidential election.</p>
