Pride

I'd just like to say that after recent events, I'm awfully proud to be an American. I mean, where else on Earth could a random housewife be catapulted first into a Governorship on the basis that she's not the incumbent, and then into potentially being a heartbeat away from being the most powerful person on Earth because of her plumbing? And ahead of all those people who might actually be qualified for the job? It's truly inspiring. Random chance can change your life! Why, thanks to this, I can believe as a fat man in my middle forties with no appropriate qualifications that I may yet fulfill my childhood ambition of being an astronaut! Nowhere else on Earth, I tell you. I gotta go get some lottery tickets.

John McCain said that the only criteria for picking his Vice Presidential running mate was that it be "the most qualified person for the job."

Since John McCain chose Sarah Palin, he obviously thinks that she is "The Most Qualified Person for the Job."

Just remember that: Out of all of his possible choices, John McCain thinks that Sarah Palin is THE MOST QUALIFIED PERSON to be his Vice President, and thus also to be President in the event of an emergency.

He said so.

What do you mean there is no cat?

"You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat."

- Albert Einstein, explaining radio
