He'd try but why would Rielle Hunter marry Edwards when she can just keep cashing the checks and sleeping with anyone else she wants?

Palin: "If Pledge Of Allegiance Was Good Enough For Founding Fathers, It's Good Enough For Me" by Hunter Mon Sep 01, 2008 at 10:15:24 AM PDT Oh. My. God. Giant hat tip to JLFinch's recommended diary: here's McCain's selection for the Vice Presidency of the United States, Sarah Palin, answering a 2006 policy questionnaire: Q: Are you offended by the phrase "Under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance? Why or why not? PALIN: Not on your life. If it was good enough for the founding fathers, its good enough for me and I’ll fight in defense of our Pledge of Allegiance. I don't even know what to say to that... I think the only possible response is a long, drawn out pause, followed by a vigorous beating of your head against the wall. Fun facts: when John McCain's grandfather graduated from the Naval Academy in 1906, the Pledge of Allegiance, as first written, was only fourteen years old. It would not be made the official pledge of the United States until 1942, six years after John McCain himself was born. When John McCain was born, the words "Under God" were not in the Pledge. They would not appear there until 1954, during McCain's senior year of high school. Either McCain's graduating class included Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson (hey, maybe Palin will ask him), or McCain's own vice presidential candidate doesn't know a stick of history -- but still feels perfectly qualified to opine on it anyway. What a completely non-comforting thought. dailykos.com

"But what the hell is John McCain doing getting involved? He's the friggin' Senator from Arizona, not the head of FEMA. He has no responsibility or leadership duties, and he can't take credit for Gustav being less powerful than the Storm of the Century. He, too, blew it with Katrina, sharing cake with Bush while New Orleans drowned, and he doesn't get to pretend that Gustave is a do-over any more than Bush does. Bush, however, is President and gets to do the PR thing. McCain is not."
