Eating lunch yesterday, I overheard a middle aged man talking about the selection of Sarah Palin as John McCains VP.  He said that he liked McCain but couldn’t support him because of Palin.  He continued by saying, can you believe she said “I can see Russia from my house”.  He also said that since John McCain has skin cancer and has had a stroke and heart attacks he wouldn’t survive the first term and didn’t want to see her as President.

Well, I couldn’t take it anymore.  I had to put my newspaper down.  I asked him if he was sure about the comment from Sarah Palin concerning seeing Russia.  He said he was, he saw it on TV.  I pressed to ensure he wasn’t watching Tina Fey on SNL.  He said he wasn’t and that’s what she (Sarah Palin) said.  I told him that it wasn’t Sarah Palin but Tina Fey that made that comment.  I continued by also telling him that although John McCain has had skin cancer removed, he hasn’t had a stroke or heart attack and that he should check his facts before speaking so loudly in public.  People that don’t know or aren’t sure might mistake his comments for fact.   He then just got loud saying “I can see Russia from my porch” over and over.  At that point I went back to my lunch and just hoped that he would forget to vote on November 4^th.
