Andrew Halcro, one of the Republicans who ran against Palin in 2006, is reporting that the McCain campaign has begun vetting their candidate:
The campaign of John McCain has sent a staff of eight people into Alaska to conduct background checks and vetting on Governor Sarah Palin.
Word is they have have eight rooms reserved at a Wasilla hotel.
Vetting someone after you put them on the ticket, part of the change we can all believe in if we elect McSame.
Remember, when you say “supremely irresponsible,” the media says “bold.”
When you say “intemperate gambler,” the media says “maverick.”
When you say “not ready for primetime,” the media says “someone you want to have a beer with.”
Meanwhile, hopefully the vetting process will include a discussion of the founding fathers and the pledge of allegiance, as well as pointing out you shouldn’t lie to the nation on the first day as a candidate.

It gets even better. Maybe they should have told them there were Iraqi WMD at the library archive, then there would have been wingnuts galore checking them out.
