Boomer with Attitude / News McCain's aides thought Palin might be mentally unstable
Posted By John Grooms on Mon, Jan 11, 2010 at 5:09 PM
Justifiably or not, the political world (at least in this country) is all aflutter about the book Game Change by two journalists, John Heilemann and Mark “Steno” Halperin. The book, a look at the 2008 election, is where the info about Harry Reid’s “light-skinned” gaffe came from, leaked ahead of time by Republican strategists who managed to get an advance copy.
I wonder if the GOP will be so eager to publicize other parts of the book, particularly the drubbing taken in it by Sarah Palin, from, well, nearly everyone who had much to do with her during the campaign. Specifically, you have to wonder how keen Republicans will be to hear John McCain’s top aides’ comments repeated nationwide. Such as the newly revealed fact that McCain’s people eventually became worried that Palin was “mentally unstable.” Or the revelation that McCain’s aides planned, in case McCain won, to relegate Palin to the administration’s sidelines.
The portrait of Palin delivered by McCain’s folks – i.e., that she’s a loon and a compulsive liar – isn’t a big surprise for anyone who’s been paying attention and isn’t either blinded by ideological agreement with her, or thinks Palin’s LensCrafter-model looks means she’s “hot.” Read more about the Palin revelations here.

Did you know some people consider it a sign of mental instability to repeatedly post several times a day on the same website, Mr. Griffin? Also, Grooms posted about Reid's comments earlier, dumbass.

Now, on to more important matters: Namely, my sad, lonely life. Picture, if you will, a vast desert, devoid of life or color. A desert so desolate that even cactuses (cacti?) cannot grow there. A place so bleak it makes the moonscape look like Times Square on New Year’s Eve. That, friends, is an accurate depiction of my life. Which is why I spend hours on end making posts on CL’s Web Site, where maybe a dozen people, tops, will ever see them, and 11 of those people will (rightly) consider me an ill-informed, close-minded, half-lunatic asswipe. Let me say: I don’t feel sorry for myself. I was born a dull-witted boob and therefore there’s nothing much I can do to change that, short of sticking my head in an oven and inhaling deeply. So with your permission and blessing, I shall continue to post my assinine opinions on this Web site. Then, as always, I’ll go masturbate and cry myself to sleep. As always, your time is appreciated.
How many Frank Griffins are there in this town? And which one is the imposter again? If you ask me, you BOTH sound a little weird...
There is only one Frank Griffin. Well, only one physical Frank Griffin. There are several personalities, as my psychiatrist continues to remind me he he. I guess you could say there are 7 of me, one for each day of the week he he! And none of us could get a job that requires more brains than a turnip he he!
