McCain, The Gambler

Forget the Maverick image BS, John McSame is here on now called the Gambler. But not the good kind, the Kenny Rogers type who wins against the bad guys in the end. I'm talking the novice type who gets hustled out of all his money in minutes. He gambled away all his hopes, took massive risks based on his own quick decisions, and drew snakes eyes in the political game of life. No vetting of his VP candidate? Making the pick on his own? Like the songs says, "know when to walk away, know when to run". Well John, start running. This train wreck of a decision is going to haunt you for a long time.

Imagine his decisions in the years to come, getting older by the day? He thinks the future of the US is worth this? Debt Crisis? 3 wars? His answer for these massive problems is someone with no experience. Classic Republican candidate: the actor. Reagan and Fred Thompson were literally actors, Schwarzenegger, too. Bush acted like a religious guy, but never went to church, and was the first President with an MBA and acted like he never heard of fiscal responsibility while ran the economy into the ground. Now we have the first VPILF, Sarah Palin. She looks hot, I'll give her that. She looks like she might be cast as a VP in a TV mini-series who needs a sassy Megan Mullaley type character.

We joke that Palin looks like the hot librarian in any Cinemax movie, but those days are over. You can't photoshop or use lights and make-up to cover up this mess. The goon squad at the RNC will just have to wait until 2116 to cast their next actor in a leading role.
