Commander in Chief Palin??

So this is how it’s gonna be. President McCain has said that Palin is qualified, and his way of “assuring the nation” is to let Vice -President Palin run the Joint Chiefs Staff.  The first meeting got off to a volatile start when Secretary of Defense Robert Gates tried in vain to explain to Vice-President Palin why it is innapropriate …

McWARped

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7yDbwWNCUc[/youtube] Our economic woes have pushed the two wars we’re still waging out of the headlines. But our sons and daughters are still still fighting and dying;  our treasure continues to be wasted on Dick Bush‘s legacy of war crimes.
