Still Eggplant

I can’t help feeling that the McCain campaign has jumped the shark. But I really can’t tell what the timing of it was. Today it just seems like a ludicrous excuse for a campaign. The campaign suspension, the Palin interview, the White House hijinks. And just like one of those potential game changing plot twists, it quickly went south. Waaaaay south. It went from laughable to really sad in about 12 hours. So, when did it happen? Which episode was the one so desperate that it signaled the end? I’m thinking the nomination of Sarah Palin because, when she’s being compared to that awful beauty queen from South Carolina who answers a question about geographic illiteracy by say that some people just don’t have maps and then inserts South Africa randomly, then Gov. Palin has simply become a laughing stock . But it just as well could have been the campaign suspension.

Let me know your thoughts in the comments.

Sad, just sad.
