Watch your back, Cindy
John McCain seems attracted to former beauty queens like a surface-to-air missle to a jet fighter's exhaust. (Not that a former beauty queen can't be trusted with the nuclear button — if she should be unexpectedly catapulted to the presidency.)

I'm just sayin'.

Carol, his first wife, right, was described as a "beauty and swimsuit model." He dumped Carol in 1980. She had been disfigured as a result of an automobile accident while he was a prisoner of war.

Second wife, Cindy, is a beer distributing heiress and, yes, a former rodeo queen.

Now, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who was a one time Miss Wasilla, Alaska, and a runner up for Miss Alaska in 1984, is his running mate.

You would have thought McCain would have avoided selecting a bonafide beauty queen, if only to avoid giving the media more reason to re-excavate his controversial divorce.

And he thought the religious right would have a problem with Mitt.

April Flowers, female porn star and adult model, grew up in Wasilla.

Nice turn around time Glen. Finally this pick makes sense! McCain's addled 72 yr old brain was blinded by physical attraction. I'm serious by the way. There's no other explanation. The pick also reminds me of the Harriet Myers fiasco. So much for not being a Bush do-over.

Are you saying Mitt's a queen?
If McCain could just marry her, too, and keep Cindy as a sister wife, he'd have the FLDS vote sewed up, too.

See this is what happens when you bring women into politics or the workplace. Maybe they should just stay home or better yet be covered head to toe that way men don't have or accused of having arterial motives.

One can always count on Democrats to bring the hate ... and the ugly.

And if McCain had picked another white-male-republican...you would have said what, Glenny?

Will her pregnant teenage daughter help red state morons identify with her?

Will Obama pick a Mormon city councilman for Secretary of State?

McCain hasn't even been elected yet and he's already withholding information from the American people. And I wonder whose idea it was to use the 4 month old son to hide the pregnancy of the 17 year old daughter when Palin was introduced? I used to respect McCain, but the fact he had only met Palin once and knew of her family and professional issues has to call his judgement into question.
