Ben Stein: Palin a 'peculiar VP choice'

ST. PAUL, Minnesota (CNN) — Palin? Palin?

Ben Stein of “Ferris Bueller” fame is beside himself over Sen. John McCain’s choice for vice president.

“I’m confused and disturbed by the GOP choice of Sarah Palin,” the economist said Wednesday outside The CNN Grill at the Republican National Convention.

Stein was hoping for someone with more experience like Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, who was considered to be on the shortlist of McCain’s potential running mates.

But don’t expect Stein to defect to the left.

(snip)

"I'm a Republican and hope McCain wins, but I'm just floored they picked Sarah Palin."
