Monday Morning Open Thread

Happy Labor Day -- although it won't be a happy day for people living along the Gulf Coast. Gustav is bearing down.

I am still struck by John McCain's recklessness over his choice of v.p. He doesn't really know Palin. He never really vetted her. McCain basically interviewed Palin once -- for one of the most important jobs in the world. How many people get high pressure, executive jobs after one interview? Not many. It says so much about John McCain's management style. The country can't afford that kind of impulsiveness.

Also, still struck by McCain's willingness to attack Obama over this hurricane when McCain was sharing birthday cake with Bush during the last one. The traditional media is so easy on McCain, it borders on absurd. The Republicans must just sit back and laugh about how gullible the political press corps is.

Get it started. This is going to be a long week.
