McCain: I knew about Palin’s tryst with bin Laden
September 2, 2008 at 5:40 pm by Ken Edelstein in NewsThat John McCain. He’s a decider. He knew about that whole Troopergate thing before choosing Sarah Palin for his VP candidate. At least, he says he did.
And he knew about Palin’s daughter Bristol being pregnant.
He knew Palin considers the Iraq war “a task that is from God.” He also knew that Alaska’s two leading newspapers, Republican state Senate leader, Republican House leader and mother in-law would guffaw unkindly about Palin as a vice presidential candidate. And, of course, he knew that her first foray into public life was as a beauty contestant.
And that Palin’s only trip overseas was to visit Alaska National Guards members in Germany and Kuwait. Except for that trip to Ireland, which he knew about — although it wasn’t really a trip to Ireland. Which he must have known about, too.
Knew it. Knew it. Knew it. Knew it.
McCain knew all this because he’s not some neophyte like Barack Obama. He’s got judgment. Nothing can escape McCain’s fighter-pilot eyes and military intelligence. In case you haven’t heard: He owned owed his powers of observation to years spent in a POW camp.
So, before some of this other stuff dribbles out bit by bit, let’s get everything out there that the GOP candidate knew about Palin before selecting her:
* Her daughter’s baby daddy is Hugo Chavez;
* At the National Governor’s Conference in Washington earlier this year, Palin joined Mike Huckabee for a scrumptious meal of popped squirrel brains;
* Palin’s father was Sen. Thomas Eagleton’s electroshock therapist before Sen. George McGovern dropped Eagleton as his running mate;
* She’s the niece of Monty Python member Michael Palin, who mocked Jesus in Life of Brian.
Am I missing anything?

*She’s the first GILF with a chance of being VPILF, in which case she’ll be just a heartbeat away from being PILF.
*She was vetted by James Frey.
*She’s so busy with work and raising kids that she recently stopped killing moose herself and, instead, cooks store-bought mooseburgers. Todd doesn’t know.

Her children were baptized by an unapologetic racist masquerading as a man of God whose sermons stand as some of the most disgusting examples of virulent anti-American rhetoric uttered outside of a Soviet-era Pravda column or a Wahabi-inspired call to prayer from a Gaza Strip mosque
Oh, whoops - wrong candidate

As I’ve said, I don’t want to discuss my time as POW, a time that lasted for four years.
However, when you are a POW, like I was, you get a certain sense of judgment that can only come from those experiences. And my time as a POW gave me great insight.
And I will not let anyone who did not serve in the military question my honor and my judgment. Judgment that came from being a POW. If you want to know more about that, read my books.
But I don’t want to discuss the four years of my life when I was a POW.

My friends, this is-isn’t cuh-conversation we can engage in.

McCain knew that Palin supports abstinence only sex education; he was impressed that it is her strategy for solving the Social Security crisis by rejuvenating the American population.
McCain also knew that Palin supports drilling ANWAR and other protected areas; it is her strategy for accelarting the approach of the Second Coming, which she knows is the only thing that will save this nation.
McCain knew that Palin believes that the world and all its life forms were created in exactly six days, about 5,000 years ago; he’s excited by the fact that she says she can solve our dependency on foreign oil in the same amount of time, mustering some divine intervention through your prayers.
