McCain's Veep performs

From Alaska, the Last Frontier, we hear a campaign song (or is it Alaska’s state song?) by John McCain’s chosen running mate:

[h/t to Goldy]

I have to wonder, though—how is McCain going to explain his way around the constitutional prohibition on a foreign-born (to say nothing of foreign-national) Vice President?

Oh, wait a minute… McCain introduced Sarah Palin, not Michael!?!

Never mind…

Seriously, this selection completely invalidates, and totally puts the lie to, McCain’s “he’s inexperienced” argument against Obama.  Compared to Sarah Palin, who was the part-time mayor of a village of 5400 two years ago, Barack Obama might as well be Al Gore or Bill Richardson.  Sure, this is only the running mate, but McCain turned 72 today and has had melanoma surgery.  If there’s any presidential candidate for whom “a heartbeat away” applies, it’s the oldest person ever to be a major party nominee for Chief Executive.
