Is McCain Admitting Palin is a Liability? Wishes He Chose Charlie Crist


A friend of mine suggested weeks ago that John McCain did not pick Sarah Palin as his VP running mate. She believes McCain's people picked Palin. And according to this, I'm inclined to believe that Palin was not McCain's first choice:
Sen. John McCain acknowledged in an exclusive interview Friday that he probably would be better positioned in must-win Florida if he had picked Gov. Charlie Crist as his running mate.

"Charlie, because he's so popular, he probably would have made a significant difference,'' McCain said in an interview with the St. Petersburg Times and Bay News 9.
Is McCain saying Palin isn't popular, or is he saying she's not as popular as his people first thought she was?

The media has called Palin a liability and even conservative blogger Andrew Allison says
John McCain chose Sarah Palin, so he has no-one to blame but himself, but as I have said before, why didn't they vet her thoroughly? Why didn't they find out that she knew absolutely nothing about foreign policy and economics? Why didn't they probe her and find out that she was intellectually inferior for the job of Vice-President?
Personally, I'm glad McCain chose Palin. His actions have helped push Obama closer and closer to victory. I'm guessing McCain chose Palin because he thought having her by his side would help him appeal to Hillary Clinton supporters who hated the idea of Obama winning the Democratic nomination. But, how many independent voters would have voted for a McCain/Crist ticket? Two old gray-haired men doing the same stupid shit that Bush did? No thanks!

'Thainee', The world's Smallest Porn Star

William Sparrow She hails from Udon Thani in Thailand's Northeast, an area known as Isaan, but also known for its poverty, rice farming and beautful women that often constitute the majority of the girls working the bars in tourist haunts of Bangkok, Pattaya and Phuket. This particular teenaged Isaan girl has, by choosing to work in pornography over bars and being a mere 134 cm (4'5") tall and weighing only 32.9 kg (72.5 lbs), gained the title of 'world's smallest pornstar'. Some basic research into the subject seems to prove that the appropriately stage named 'Thainee' with stats of 74B-54-70 (28B-21-27) is in fact the world's smallest pornstar - at least of the non-midget variety. Even former adult start and Vivid contract girl Kobe Tai, (a/k/a: Carla Carter, Clara Scott, Blake Young, and Brooke Young), of Taiwanese decent and loved for her petite figure seems statuesque and portly at 81-55-81 (32-22-32), 41 kg (90 lbs) and 160 cm (5'

Megan Fox's Sexiest Woman Position "Annoys" Her

Megan Fox hates her position as the Sexiest Woman In The World - insisting the flattering title "annoys" her. The Transformers actress was voted the top babe in FHM magazine's annual list of lovelies earlier this year (Apr08). But the sexy star isn't keen to promote herself as a screen siren, and hates getting raunchy on set after her "awkward" love scenes in upcoming movie Jennifer's Body. She tells MTV UK.com, "I'm not comfortable with it (FHM Sexiest Woman) at all. It annoys me. "I have a few love scenes (in Jennifer's Body). I eat and seduce everyone - boys and girls. There's a lot of kissing and craziness. It was awkward, it's always awkward and it's never fun."

I will rather go to jail than live with you

The expression: “I will rather go to jail than live with you” inspires Lawrence John Ripple, a 70-year-old man who said he robbed a Kansas City, Kansas, bank so he could get away from his wife blamed his actions on depression. A federal judge on Tuesday sentenced Lawrence John Ripple to probation in the form of home detention. Ripple went to the Bank of Labor — a block from police headquarters — last September. He gave a note to a teller saying he had a gun and was demanding money. After he was given it, Ripple waited for police. Court records indicate Ripple wrote the robbery note in front of his wife and told her he would rather be in jail than at home. The Kansas City Star reports Ripple told the judge Tuesday that heart surgery left him depressed and unlike himself before he robbed the bank.
