Tahoe's "Veeps" thread

Interesting.


Granholm was in a beauty pageant? Times have changed...

I've always thought that she resembles Michelle Pfieffer.

I met JG in person at a UM tailgate when she was first running for Gov. (a friend of a friend was her campaign manager) and she was actually pretty attractive in person.

Cool as hell, too. Drank some beers with us and talked football.

It's too bad she has a political agenda.

But I wish her well.

If you could remove that mole she'd be pretty decent looking for her age IMO.

He does have some bipartisan successes -- McCain-Feingold, the Gang Of 14 -- but a lot of high-profile failure. Maybe there's more? I dunno... I ask the question because I don't know. I would've assumed McCain would have some huge list of substantive bipartisan accomplishments somewhere, but I didn't see it.

Newsweek makes much the same point that I was making:

A couple weeks ago, the McCain-Palin campaign reported that her kids were in the dark about her VP announcement. As I reported back then:

According to MSNBC, the Palin kids were told their Ohio trip was to celebrate an anniversary. In the dark about the Veep announcement.

I try not to tell people how to parent their kids, but last night I said to Mrs. Atrios something along the lines of, "I don't know what goes on in their family, but at the very least if I had a pregnant teen daughter and I was asked to be a VP candidate I'd sit down with her and make sure that was ok."

But today, she told Sean Hannity that her kids knew and got to vote on it:

On her family’s reaction to be picked as the VP nominee:
“It was a time of asking the girls to vote on it, anyway. And they voted unanimously, yes. Didn’t bother asking my son because, you know, he’s going to be off doing his thing anyway, so he wouldn’t be so impacted by, at least, the campaign period here. So ask the girls what they thought and they’re like, absolutely. Let’s do this, mom.”

Keep on shoveling that bullshit... the American public loves it!

She's coming off as a habitual liar, at this point.
