Really, to criticize his VP choice at this state of the game only shows how counterfeit the choice was to begin with, and makes him look like an ungrateful fool. Palin was as big a shot in the arm to McCain’s campaign as a liability. Without her, he would have trailed Obama even more. With Palin, he courted the fundie base while simultaneously repelling anyone wavering center or left.

Likewise, Palin has no business trash-talking McCain, as speculated in her upcoming book. Without McCain, she’d be a nondescript semi-literate governor speaking in tongues about abstinence, and most certainly not an author with a multimillion dollar book deal, or talking head for the GOP.

The McCain/Palin ticket was a perfect illustration of a symbiotic relationship. At this stage of the game, I really don’t give a damn about either one. I just wish they’d STFU and stop embarrassing themselves.
