Sarah Palin.

First she supported the so-called “Bridge to Nowhere.” Now she doesn’t. That’s fine, people are allowed to change their minds. Except now she’s lying about that former support, even though it’s a matter of public record.

However, there may be an even bigger skeleton in her closet than a $220 million dollar bridge.

Her fourth baby, born early this year. Is it really hers? Daily Kos has a detailed story on how the mother of this baby may actually be Palin’s 16 year old daughter. Since she’s an evangelical Christian (who believes in creationism and not evolution), I guess she thought it would be the Christian thing to lie to the entire world.

ABC News details how Palin was such a last minute choice for McCain (who really wanted Lieberman and had to be talked out of it) that his staff never had the chance to do a complete vetting process on her. And so McCain chose a relative unknown who he himself had only met twice and knew little about.

Kind of reminds me of the way Resident Bush chose people. Like Michael Brown, the guy fired because he couldn’t stage horse shows and was hired to run FEMA.

Now another hurricane is bearing down on the gulf region and there are fears that it will be a big one. It is a vivid reminder of the way Republicans left this city to die. It’s also, in a sad sense, an opportunity to show that they’ve learned from their mistakes and won’t screw up like that this time. But McCain voted against the Katrina Commission (twice), against unemployment assistance for Katrina victims, against Medicaid access for Katrina victims.

Also, after Obama’s speech got higher TV ratings than the Beijing Olympics opening ceremonies, it will take air time away from the Republican convention, just when they need it the most.

Stuart Shepard of “Focus On Family” asked his viewers to pray for rain of “biblical proportions” to interrupt the Democratic convention. Guess he got his wish, just a little late?

This is the thing about some Republicans, like this nutjob Shepard or the people on Fox News shouting down people who disagree with them. They’re not true Americans. Bill O’Reilly is not a true American. He isn’t looking out for you. He is looking out for ratings and sales. They don’t support the constitution, they don’t support freedom of speech, they only support freedom for people who believe what they believe and that is not America.

I am not praying for rain of biblical proportions. I’m hoping the weather folks got it wrong and that Gustav is just a fraction of what they’re predicting. Let McCain strut his little barbie doll grandma around on stage. And let’s just wait for the debates ….
