So much for the Straight Talk Express

McMinions: She was vetted by the FBI.
FBI. Huh? Not us. Never happened.

McMinons: She is fully qualified to be Vice President, and a heartbeat away from the Presidency.
Alaska Division of Corporations, Business, and Professional Licensing: issued a "certificate of involuntary dissolution" ( Translation: the State of Alaska, Sarah Palin, Governor, is shutting your car wash down, Ms., I mean Governor, Palin.) Sarah Palin started a car wash in Wasilla as part-time mayor. So she has executive experience as a businesswoman, too. Except she didn't pay fees and file paperwork, and the state of Alaska sent her that notice, with her name on the LETTERHEAD, for crying out loud. ( Source: Washington and Fitzgerald, www.alternet.com)

She can't even run a car wash. ( See? Nothing to do with family. Whew. )

McMinions: She has experience from her travels abroad
Me: See previous post.

Tune in tonight, folks. Should be a helluva speech. She can read a teleprompter well, and apparently is a good debater, too. Seriously. No snark here. I just wish I could hear Patrick Buchanan respond to this speech.

Speaking of speeches, Carol Marin of suntimes.com, reports in St. Paul that at least a half dozen times she has been asked by Republican legislators questions along the lines of "Were you there? Was it amazing?", referring to Obama's Thursday speech at INVESCO field. Speech envy.

My friends, they have only to look to this Thursday, when John McCain will blow Obama off the rhetorical playing field. Ok, THAT is snark. Just testing.
