[lbo-talk] Speaking of female candidates...

It's probably easier for the Limbaughs to swallow Palin than McCain.
On most stuff she's far right, though establishing a white Saudi Arabia
is a little too far right.  Maybe they should team up with the League of
the South.

I wouldn't say this pick is a move to the left for McCain, except in
the most superficial sense.  Though superficial works in politics.
