McCain's Palin pick was irresponsible

"Country First," my foot! John McCain is in his 70s. He has had three serious bouts with skin cancer.

How can he say he places his "Country First" and then select an inept, inarticulate, "lost" person with very average intelligence as his choice to be president of the United States should something happen to him?

If he is so focused on being honest with the American people, he should change his slogan to, "My Election First And I Can't Be Bothered With What Happens To The Country If I Croak!"
