In case you were wondering exactly what Gov. Sarah Palin was taught during her week long attendance at John McCains “Debate Camp”, we have the answer for you. A resounding…. ”Nothing!”
(If you haven’t Already done so, please click on the image to the left of this text)
She wasn’t taught anything about the economy, Iraq, health-care, or anything the American people wanted her to talk about.

Instead all we were exposed to were gasps, sighs, and deer-in-headlight backed “golly gee’s”. A couple of hockey-mom and joe six-pack references rounded out the summary of her answers. Oh, and let us not forget her annoying proclamations that John McCain is a maverick. She even tried to include herself in that description.

Maverick!

What is a maverick?

According to the American Heritage Dictionary, a maverick (when used as an adjective) is: Being independent in thought and action or exhibiting such independence.
When used as a noun, a maverick is:
One that refuses to abide by the dictates of or resists adherence to a group; a dissenter.

In my opinion, that’s not necessarily a good thing. President Bush is a maverick. Look at Bush’s approval ratings, the lowest in history. The majority of Americans didn’t want to go into Iraq. He did. That seems to qualify as being independent in thought to me. The group he fails to adhere to is the American people. He’s disconnected from regular folks.

 John (the economy is fundamentally sound)McCain is likewise just as divorced from the working class. He is going to try and destroy Obama’s character here in the last weeks before the election. What a hypocrite. How can a man that left his middle-class, disabled wife (who faithfully waited for him when he was a POW) for a 15yr younger, rich girl be a judge of good character?

And what is there left to say about Sarah (Duh?) Palin. She is like a living, breathing “Wanna get away?” Southwest Airline commercial. She needs to take that endorsement money and cash it in for a one-way ticket to Hopelessly Lost Somewhere.

So if Sarah Palin and John McCain want to consider themselves to be “mavericks” then I am inclined to believe them.
