McCain's military jab hypocritical
It is scaling the heights of hypocrisy for John McCain to have chosen a running mate who never served in the military after having attacked Barack Obama's lack of military service several months ago.
McCain accused Obama of lacking "responsibility" and implied that he was less than patriotic for not having worn his country's uniform as a young person. Obviously, McCain has no such problem sharing the Republican ticket with Sarah Palin, who while in her 20s chose to parade around in beauty pageants rather than enlist in the U.S. military.
At the same age that a young Barack Obama was getting into community service helping the South Side's disemployed find work, Sarah Palin was getting into swimsuits.
