Paul Begala " Is McCain out of his mind?" on Palin Choice

Paul Begala reports:

John McCain needs what Kinky Friedman calls "a checkup from the neck up."

In choosing Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to be his running mate he is not thinking "outside the box," as some have said. More like out of his mind.

Palin a first-term governor of a state with more reindeer than people, will have to put on a few pounds just to be a lightweight. Her personal story is impressive: former fisherman, mother of five. But that hardly qualifies her to be a heartbeat away from the presidency.

I guess Paul Begala isn't a big fan of people from small states that own guns and shop at Wal-Mart.
