John McCain, in his first television interview since his shocking vice presidential pick, said that he saw in Sarah Palin "a partner and a soul mate."

"This is a person who will help me reform Washington and change the way they do business," McCain told Chris Wallace on "Fox News Sunday."

McCain was pressed by Wallace as to whether Palin, a 44-year-old governor who has yet to finish her second year in office, was the most qualified choice he could have made for his No. 2.

"What this brings is a spirit of reform and change that is vital now in our nation's capital," he offered.

And, aping a line often deployed by Barack Obama when he's questioned about his lack of foreign policy credentials, McCain said Palin has "got the right judgment."

Palin, he noted, had backed the surge of troops in Iraq.

But McCain did try to point out what experience she had, touting a single visit to Kuwait she made and her role as commander-in-chief of the Alaska National Guard.

And he also contrasted her sharply with Barack Obama.

"When she was in office, he was a community organizer," McCain said, alluding to Palin's time on the Wasilla, Alaska city council in the 90s.

McCain also used the contrast to tout her maverick tendencies.

2. Okay, that's fucking convinced me.

If McCain or Palin make a big Gustav related gaffe this week it's because the GOP overlords have decided they don't want the responsibility of cleaning up for the next four years.

3. I wonder how Cindy feels about that 'soul mate' remark?

[NotThisTime]

16. I bet this comment gets me in trouble. CINDY WILL LOVE IT...

During the 3 SOME they will have tonight.


Sorry.....the devil made me say it.

[boomboom]

20. i'm not sticking up for Palin, but surely

she has better taste than to join that old wrinkly 3 some. besided, menage a trois - so FRENCH!

[Arugula Latte]

30. John is getting the linens out to sleep on the couch.

Oh, wait, he can just go to another one of his houses.

[Left Is Write]

5. Soul mate? How do you suppose Cindy feels about that?

As for Palin's service on the Wasilla City Council: If McCain has to bring in her city council experience as evidence of her readiness to step into the office of either VP or POTUS, that speaks volumes about her paper-thin resume.

[bobd0]

22. Cindy, of all people, should have expected it

[Fleshdancer]

6. Let me guess...he looked into her eyes and saw her soul?

because that worked out so well for Bush. :crazy:

[SaveAmerica]

28. I guess it's refreshing after the ice-princess' frosty non-gaze...

[Onlooker]

7. She is his soulmate. They're both nuts. n/t

[City of Mills]

8. I think he meant to say kindred spirit

but it's funny how the real feelings sneak out!

[tuvor]

9. "Soulmate", huh? Not bad for only one blind date.

[ebdarcy]

10. Is he marrying her? What an idiot.

[LaurenG]

11. He is attracted to corrupt people isn't he!

:wow: He has cracked and Cindy isn't going to like that.

[pdxmom]

12. Backed the surge, did she? Can I request that he back that up with

some kind of document, interview, some unbiased third party? From what I heard, she was okay with withdrawal and thought this was a war about oil.

Guess it's okay to give her his positions, since she doesn't seem to have actually expressed too many of her own.

[toddGA]

38. Pretty clear he just made that up...Here's a link

http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2008/08/palin-surge-wha.html


bottom line: she wasn't really paying attention! and thinks an exit strategy would be good.

clearly these guys have NO IDEA what her positions are.

EDIT: i can't find any links to the original article in the Alaska Business Monthly yet...

[woolldog]

13. Now we know why he chose her.

He was thinking with his other brain. You know, the small one.

[Boojatta]

14. McCain and Gustav could marry Palin and Katrina in a special, double wedding ceremony.

[vaberella]

15. Lovin' it!! Let him keep spouting nonsense. America will be the new Wasilia.

Economical soulmates they are for sure. Leading our nation to destruction.

[against all enemies]

17. Maybe he's so senile he thinks they're dating.

[Raine]

18. Ooooooooo Cindy better keep a tight leash on her man

:rofl:

[depakid]

19. If it wasn't obvious before it should be now- the guy's begun the descent into dementia

[redqueen]

23. She barely understood the surge, McDirtyOldMan...

not that honesty is something he cares anything about.

And is he insane? You have to ask?

[blue cat]

24. I thank the political Gods for this one...

can't wait to use this one over and over again.

[nickyt]

25. He said that?! Seriously? Damn, man, the more this guy talks,

the louder I laugh! Simply beyond comprehension!

[woolldog]

26. isn't he crazy?

[LastDemocratInSC]

27. He stared into her eyes, saw her soul and got an erection

[BlooInBloo]

32. yah - like he's achieved wood in the last 3 decades.

[Erin Elizabeth]

29. What an awkward and totally strange thing to say.

Especially since he barely knows her.

[spanone]

31. most of the city council folks in my town are crazier than bat-shit

[Blondiegrrl]

33. LMAO! Whoo, boy. Cindy must be getting VERY nervous.

It's about time to trade up for a younger model, eh, Johnny Boy?

[woolldog]

34. He does have a thing for beauty queens....

[mzmolly]

35. Soul mate? Sounds like he's using old pick up lines?

:puke:

[and-justice-for-all]

36. McCane...

everyday a little closer to padded cell.

[Flash Bazbo]

37. Ever notice how Republicans keep looking at people's souls?

Bush saw Putin's. McCain can see Palin's, apparently.

[demobabe]

39. Unrequited love... Poor John is going to be so heartbroken

Palin's only love is for power...
