McCain Campaign Hates Bill Kristol For Making Them Put Dumb Lady On Ticket
Over the summer, John McCain had three finalists for his vice presidential selection. The first was Connecticut alien shit demon and known old virgin Sen. Joe Lieberman, who McCain wanted because they share the same ideology: Bomb Everyone, Otherwise, Who Cares? The second was Sarah Palin, an autistic lady governor from the Arctic who is just insane enough to appeal to Evangelicals. The last was Mittens "Willard" Romney, the president of Massachusetts and quite possibly the finest specimen our Earthly gene pool has ever produced, 'cepting for the fact that he was born on the Mormon planet, Pluto. As Scott Horton of Harper's and The Daily Hell Demon has discovered, it was at the insistence of New York Times "lightning rod conservative" monkey Bill Kristol, a liar and a fraud, that the McCain campaign went with Sarah Palin, and now the campaign is pissed at Kristol for making them pick this unconscionable retard.
Horton wrote a piece for The Daily Death Animal about how Kristol met Palin on a brief moment of shore leave during the Weekly Standard Cruise, a delightful annual event where Fred Barnes runs around naked drinking a glass of his own piss, on a boat. They stopped at Alaska one day and Kristol met with Palin, thinking to himself, "I'm gonna put her in pictures."
The Daily Telegraph’s Tim Shipman saw this encounter as the launch of a Neoconservative project surrounding Palin. He interviewed a former Republican White House official now at the American Enterprise Institute about Palin:
“She’s bright and she’s a blank page. She’s going places and it’s worth going there with her.” Asked if he sees her as a “project,” the former official said: “Your word, not mine, but I wouldn’t disagree with the sentiment.
And so Bill Kristol made Walnuts pick her with his mind powers. He has mind powers. How else would he keep getting commentary jobs?
Since the McCain campaign was too lame to vet her at all, they now regret it, since she is a mean crab. Here's something Horton said on the liberal Glenn Greenwald radio show today:
HORTON: We’ve got a lot of finger-pointing going on within the camp, and I’d say there’s a pretty broad agreement amongst a number of the senior-most advisors to McCain that the Palin pick is worse than disappointing. It’s a total disaster, as one describes to me. And there is a sort of blame game going on there. […]
I would say the anger and irritation between a number of the senior people in the McCain camp and Bill Kristol is become really acute. … They view this man as the guy who gave them this albatross, Sarah Palin. I think there’s a lot of real anger about it. There’s also recognition that it’s too late to do anything.
Just like with the decision to launch Bill Kristol's hilarious Iraq War.
