“But, look, I understand this day and age of ‘gotcha’ journalism,” McCain said. “Is that a pizza place? In a conversation with someone who you didn’t hear the question very well, you don’t know the context of the conversation, grab a phrase. Gov. Palin and I agree that you don’t announce that you’re going to attack another country.”
It’s gotten so bad that John McCain has to chaperon his down syndrome Vice President pick Sarah Palin to all of her interviews. Do you think he has an electronic buzzer so he can shock her everytime she starts talking about molecules and Vladimir Putin invading Russia so she can have foreign policy experience?

Phil Gramm, John McCain’s senior economic adviser:
“You’ve heard of mental depression; this is a mental recession… We have sort of become a nation of whiners. You just hear this constant whining, complaining about a loss of competitiveness.”
Sarah Palin has caused the new President of Pakistan to have a Fatwa issued against him after their meeting in New York City was described as ‘flirtatious’ [source]:
Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari seems to be heading towards fresh trouble as the prayer leader of the Lal Masjid in the heart of Islamabad has issued a fatwa against him. Maulana Abdul Ghafar, the prayer leader, seems to be irked by Zardari’s “you’re gorgeous” compliment to US vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin during a meeting.
When Zardari was asked to keep shaking hands with Palin for the cameras, he said, “If he’s (the aide) insisting, I might hug you.” He said the act was un-Islamic and unbecoming of a head of state of a Muslim country.
Maulana also said that Zardari shamed the entire Pakistani by publicly making indecent gestures towards Palin in Washington last Thursday.
