John McCain in 2008.
I think she’s [Palin] the most qualified of any that who has run recently for vice president, to tell you the truth.
John McCain in 2011.
John McCain says he’s going to sit out this upcoming presidential race when it comes to supporting a particular candidate, even though his former running mate might be among them.
“I think I’m staying out of this for the first time in many years,” McCain told Politico Thursday.
Pressed if he would stay out completely, the Arizona senator added, “Most likely.”
Extra mavericky!
Serious question, though: when was the last time the Republican nominee refused to endorse anyone (including his veep pick) the next time around? I got nothin’.

Maybe McCain’s waiting for Lieberman to run.
She wouldn’t do ‘im so he won’t endorse her.
Brain bleach please.
Heh, and this:

I guess “no Sarah P*lin” month is over.
Psych 101. Anyone that says
it lying.
He just wants them all to get the fuck off his lawn.
But she did. That’s why he paid for all those clothes.
Nope, the RNC paid for those. Why do ya think they’re $28M in debt?
I thought that was Michael Steele’s stripper problem. That and paying the Kochwhores.
I’m confused. At least we know who BONer is banging.
Maybe he’s taking his wife’s advice who said during his campaign, “It’s time we take off our Republican hats and put on our American hats.” (And since then, the gulf between them has turned into a bottomless pit.)
Does that come with fries?
Palin has filed the paperwork necessary to trademark the name Sarah Palin. No word on if she’s also planning on trademarking Bible Spice and Caribou Barbie as well.
I want to see a picture of a woman who prefers orange men. Do you know her name?
Stat!
Wish it had gone on at least another forty years.
Teh Google says – Yes!
Teh California judge says – 5.4
I think the guys over at the Stinque blog already own “Talibunny”
Damn! Wish I’d thought of that one.
Thanks !
Getting here late. Big Gol Darn Damn.
Was helping to set up a second ‘puter in my LR. But, Hey! Great to see everyone in full stride.
LeDudes and LaDudes!!!
Figgers you’d show up when I gotta leave. *g*
Back to work.
Namaste
Or “Boreal Narcissus” or “Snowbilly Grifter” or…
Like ships passing in the night.
Amazing what a good knob-shining will get her…
I am thinking of trademarking Media Whore Grifter, Bible Grifter, Flim Flam Floozie and Mooselini, myself.
I wonder if she’s upset that Larry Flynt beat her to trademarking ‘Nailin’ Palin’.
Eh – McCan’t never liked Bible Spice, but he was forced into accepting her by the Kochs or whomever. Which makes McCan’t something of a Grifter, himself, but we already knew that by the fact that he *dumped* his wife when she got injured and ran after Beer Heiress Barbie… birds of a feather and all that.
ha ha… made me laugh!! Larry Flynt is the greatest!
and btw: YIKES on that photo montage… thankfully I hadn’t eaten my lunch yet. phew: you needed to put a warning label on that one! (har)
And btw, News Flash to McCan’t: it *doesn’t matter* who he endorses or doesn’t endorse in 2012… he’s irrelevant these days. Who cares??
He has been one of the consistent middle fingers flying in the face of our government for the last 40 years.
Gerald Ford, 1980 didn’t endorse in the Primary.
Heh. Gerald Ford is a thread stopper.
Yes, by reminding the govt about what the Constitution and Bill of Rights actually *say* and *mean.* How radical of Flynt to do THAT!!! But he’s certainly stuck his neck out, and for that I am ever grateful. Plus he’s amusing, too.
Where’s Chevy Chase when we need him??
Always was. There’s nothing to say about Gerald Ford. He’s the lost president.
Why is anyone talking about Sarah Palin anymore? Maybe FDL needs a gossip/tabloid section if they feel the need to put her face somewhere on the front page.
Nice trip, See you ‘next fall. Seems actually very OT in a weird demi like way.
That’s typically what BT’s posts are. The cynical, gossip-y, ironic type stuff. It’s meant to be humorous.
If you’re reading this as breaking news you’re doing it wrong.
David Dayen has a fresh cross-post up: Russ Feingold: We Cannot Look the Other Way at “Stable” Dictators
McFried……………..
What happened, John, her good looks/ empty skull/ arrogant attitude couldn’t get you the redneck vote, so you turn on her like the pathetic hypocrite you are? She hasn’t changed since you unleashed her idiotic ass on the world, so why no endorsement? Ohhhh, that’s right, she can’t do anything for YOU if she runs. Got it.
If the unemployment rate in 20 months is 8.0% or greater, then the Republican nominee will win the election.
I like Mooselini.
Does it matter, Repub or Demo?
