Fershure, You Betcha

This paragraph from the NY Times sums it up, as far as John McCain and his ridiculous choice to be VP:

In the end, the debate did not change the essential truth of Ms. Palin’s candidacy: Mr. McCain made a wildly irresponsible choice that shattered the image he created for himself as the honest, seasoned, experienced man of principle and judgment. It was either an act of incredible cynicism or appallingly bad judgment.

I wish for John McCain many more years of life, with one big reason so he can think seriously about this election and what a terrible, shameful job he did with it. It'd be hard to be proud of it.
