For leaders like Weyrich and Dobson, they opposed McCain vehemently, but ultimately threw their support to him ... in exchange for practically nothing. McCain didn't have to work to earn their backing, he just had to become the Republican nominee.Well, not quite "nothing." He gave them Palin. Of course he may have thought it was "nothing" when he made the choice, after being told that he couldn't have Lieberman. But, should he manage to win this election, of course the joke will be on all of us should he croak and Palin takes the office. Ha, ha!

Nothing against Kevin Drum, but Wow! Steve Benen has been on fire since taking over at Political Animal. It has jumped to the top of my list of daily must-reads.
In the Karzai suite, Palin sat in a large chair a few feet from Karzai. Behind her were foreign policy advisers for the campaign, Steve Biegun and Randy Scheunemann.
Photographers and the TV crew were asked to leave after about a half-minute of recording Palin and Karzai.
My God, that is pathetic!
They surround her with McCain’s foreign policy advisors to whisper in her ear and then shoo all the media people out of the room as soon as they take their 30-second photo op.
