Politics First!

John McCain said, “We don’t need another politician in Washington who puts self-interest and political expediency ahead of problem solving.” At the time I assumed he was putting down Barack Obama, but now I think he may have been referring to his running mate Sarah Palin.
As most of you know, Arctic Agnew, the ruthless fibber from Alaska, is smirking under a shadow. Among the many unseemly stories coming to national attention, one has the potential to be her undoing. And it isn’t the one about her having an affair with her husband’s best friend the year before her latest baby was born. No, I can already hear James Dobson gaily dismiss that by remarking: “Why, almost every Christian little lady runs around on her spouse! Finding this out just makes Sarah more like ordinary Republicans. And an even more rabid abortion-hater when she keeps the guy’s baby for gosh sakes!”
Sarah’s biggest problem (caveat: that we know of) is the so-called Troopergate scandal. Whereas it would certainly be in our country’s best interest to know if Palin abused her power before we vote, John McCain apparently has plenty of private exceptions to his public proclamation: “Country First!” Effortlessly placing campaign above country, he has deployed a militia of lawyer insurgents to storm Juneau to try to undermine the Alaska legislature’s effort to find out if Palin broke the law.
Clearly, this is one of the other exceptions we keep seeing: to how John will bring a change from the Bush years.
