The scariest thing John McCain has ever said

[susanbanks44]

John McCain told NPR this week that, regarding Governor Palin, he has "turned to her advice many times in the past ... particularly on energy issues." Many?

This would be especially scary when you consider that few people in the country are more misinformed on energy than Sarah Palin, the fungible candidate, a woman ...

* who continued "to peddle bogus statistics three days after the original error was pointed out by independent fact-checkers";
* who told multiple energy lies in her acceptance speech;
* who the U.K. Guardian noted used ExxonMobil-funded research and scientists in her "efforts to stop polar bears being protected as an endangered species"; and...

2. He met her at a conference, maybe?

But he only met her when he asked her to join the ticket.

Guy's either a fucking liar - my guess - or he's delusional - that might be my guess, too.

He's a fucking delusional liar.

6. He's lying because he believes nobody would ever question his judgment...

...so if he values her advice, we all will. Quite a dream world he lives in!

[Kerrytravelers]

7. But her state... the one she is the executive of... has... makes 20% of oil molecules. Dontcha know.

I can't believe this is the best the Republican party can do. Women like Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe must want to absolutely knock McCain into next week, they must be so mad. I'd be if I were a qualified female Republican.

McCain: ‘I Always Aspire To Be A Dictator’»

Discussing the Wall Street bailout yesterday during an interview with the Des Moines Register editorial board, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said the failure of Congress to act is “just not acceptable.” Then — presumably making an attempt at humor — McCain added that, if only he were a dictator, then the bill would be just right:

MCCAIN: I just want to make a comment about the obvious issue and that is the failure of Congress to act yesterday. Its just not acceptable. <…> This is just a not acceptable situation. I’m not saying this is the perfect answer. If I were dictator, which I always aspire to be, I would write it a little bit differently.
