I think Gramps and Barbie are headed for a showdown

[TheCowsCameHome]

I have a gut feeling that Barbie is rapidly getting too big for her britches, and Gramps will have to read her the riot act. Her blunders already require a staff to correct.

Last night in the debate she declared that she and McCain were both mavericks, and that tells me neither of them will play well with others.

After McCain pulled the plug on Michigan last night she came out and made some stupid overature to Michigan voters where she and hubby Odd would go up there and do who-knows-what to save the them. What she was babbling about is anyones guess, but she did it without clearing it with HQ.

Upstaging a hot-headed running mate isn't necessarily a good thing, Barbie.

I don't think Gramps is about to put up with an insurrection from his hand-picked sidekick. On the other hand, I could see her telling him to f*ck off just because she is so flaky, and she knows that with out her on the ticket he would already be back in Sedona trying to not be mistaken for a cactus plant.

Step right up, folks - I think we're about to see the circus come to town.

1. I totally

Agree. She is a legend in her own mine and wants Palin/McCain instead of the other way around.

2. WTF?

If I were McCain, I'd WANT to be mistaken for a cactus plant.

7. LOL

:rofl: Yep. All he wants to do is win, not govern, he don't care, he just wanna win. By any means.

3. I agree. Palin said a few things in the debate last night......

She really wants it to be the Palin/McCain ticket. Perhaps she has made these "slip ups" to campaign aides and one of the reasons the campaign isn't letting her go on talk shows is that she is a loose cannon and could really screw things up for them more than she already has.

4. I was humming along until I read that 2nd to last paragraph and froze up

and you know what? You are right, HE needs her more than SHE needs him and I think she'd be just bold enough (with the Shadow Gov. on the side) to actually throw it in Mccain's face.

O.M.G. - what a tangled web the pukes are weaving.

5. Palin has quite a sense of entitlement, and an ego as big as....

the great state of Alaska. So does McCain. That can't be good in close quarters!

I love thinking about the many hard-working people in the McCain campaign would probably like to strangle both of them!

Old Man McCain has one foot in the grave...

8. Do you think Palin is clueless that pulling out of Michigan probably means

that her sugardaddy gramps is running low on cash, and has to pick and choose his remaining states in which to make his last stand?

Does she just think he is too tired to go there? I think too that this whole debate deal has gone to her head, and McCain who was an advocate of "letting Sarah be Sarah" is going to rue the day he said that to his staff.

This should be much fun to watch - yeah, he needs her, but women to him are OBJECTS. He may find the way and the behind the scenes threat to eventually tone her down. Should be fun watching who wins this one.

9. Indeed. Did you catch her interesting slip up last night...

"John McCain is the man we need to leave this nation." before correcting herself and saying "lead this nation"?

There's a youtube clip of it floating around somewhere...

[TheCowsCameHome]

10. That's the one thing I greed with her on.

Good catch.

11. "She and McCain (are) both mavericks...

...and that tells me neither of them will play well with others."

Brilliant. Couldn't have put it better myself.

12. McCain doesn't play well with women that cross him. . .

From the Rolling Stone article, "Make-Believe Maverick":

"McCain was not only a lousy student, he had his father's taste for drink and a darkly misogynistic streak. The summer after his sophomore year, cruising with a friend near Arlington, McCain tried to pick up a pair of young women. When they laughed at him, he cursed them so vilely that he was hauled into court on a profanity charge."

13. I bet, gosh darn it, he's proud as heck of her, don'tcha know!

And he's still my guy...
