(CNN) -- 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.

For a man who is 72 years old and has had four bouts with cancer to have chosen someone so completely unqualified to become president is shockingly irresponsible. Suddenly, McCain's age and health become central issues in the campaign, as does his judgment.

In choosing this featherweight, McCain passed over Tom Ridge, a decorated combat hero, a Cabinet secretary and the former two-term governor of the large, complex state of Pennsylvania. iReport.com: 'McCain pick might be a gimmick'

He passed over Mitt Romney, who ran a big state, Massachusetts; a big company, Bain Capital; and a big event, the Olympics.

He passed over Kay Bailey Hutchison, the Texas senator who is knowledgeable about the military, good on television, and -- obviously -- a woman.

He passed over Joe Lieberman, his best friend in the Senate and fellow Iraq Kool-Aid drinker.

He passed over former congressman, trade negotiator and budget director Rob Portman.

And he also passed over Mike Huckabee, the governor of Arkansas.

For months, the McCainiacs have said they will run on his judgment and experience. In his first presidential decision, John McCain has shown he is willing to endanger his country, potentially leaving it in the hands of someone who simply has no business being a heartbeat away from the most powerful, complicated, difficult job in human history.

McCain is an idiot, but there is absolutely no doubt that the most intelligent man to run in this election did so for the Republicans.

But yeah, McCain fucked this one up royally.... but doesn't matter to me, it's lose - lose with either party.

Republicans are going to try to convince the people that Palin will make gas prices cheaper.

Republican is a better system, but in these days it's flawed. How are they considered conservative when we're nation building, spending a billion dollars a day in Iraq, while threatening countries such as Iran and Russia.

True, the traditional conservative republican party was definitely the best. But now we have Neo-Cons destroying the once great party and now they are no better than Dems. You can't have low taxes and have an aggressive foreign policy, nation building, and multiple wars and then increase the size of the government and call yourself conservative. It just doesn't work that way which is why we are in the situation we are now... sorry but they should change their titles from Republican to something else.. like the Fascist party with the Roman Fasces as their symbol :no:
