Former GOP Senator: Palin is a "cocky wacko"

Here we go, now McCain is going to call his former fellow Republican Senator a "sexist." You just wait. And if he does, someone needs to ask McCain if calling a man a "cocky wacko" is acceptable. Because I suspect it is.

Sarah Palin is playing the victim, and I doubt her phony victim status is helping women. Then again, I suspect that helping women isn't exactly John McCain's goal here. McCain picked Palin, well, it's not really clear why he picked her. He didn't vet her, he had other more qualified men and women he could have chosen, but he picked an unqualified neophyte and decided to put her a breath away from the presidency during war time because the religious right demanded it and McCain chickened out. John McCain failed his first major test of his possible presidency. So all McCain can do now is use Sarah Palin as his own personal human shield, and deflect any attack on him or her with the phony "sexism" line, pretending he's the next Gloria Steinem or Eleanor Smeal.

And Senator, I've met Eleanor Smeal, I interviewed Eleanor Smeal. Eleanor Smeal rocked my world. Senator McCain, you're no Ellie Smeal.
