Reason number 153 as to why I don't watch "Meet the Press": John McCain is on so much that they really ought to change the name of the program to "Meet John McCain."
Reason number 154: Dumb things are quite often said. For instance, yesterday McCain said of Sarah Palin: "I don't think she quit. I don't know if there was a quote promise [to the people of Alaska to continue serving as Governor]. But I do know that she will be an effective player on the national stage."
According to the Alaska Constitution, the oath of office contains these words, which do, in fact, sound quite a bit like a promise: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that... I will faithfully discharge my duties as [governor] to the best of my ability."
McCain knows she quit, of course, but for McCain to admit it would be to admit that he picked a quitter to be his vice-presidential running mate. Ergo, she did not quit!
