(SOMEWHERE BETWEEN DENVER AND COLUMBIA) - Thanks to either poor planning or a slip, ultra-loyal Dem. S.C. Congressman Jim Clyburn has told a huge fib and insinuated an untruth.

I know, I know.. He has to toe the party line - he is the Majority Whip at foggy bottom. He has to help get out the talking points. But to say that John McCain has to "shake things up," is beyond credulity. If anyone should be scared, it should be the followers of Sen. Obama, since the Saviour of American Politics, himself, admits to no wrong.

In any event, he also passed along the Dem talking point equating McCain's VP pick, Governor Palin, with Dan Quayle in '88. The experienced mother of five has done more in her two years as govenor of Alaska than Sen. Obama has done since he was a grift-mover on the south side of Chicago. And the fact that she's not for partial birth abortions and for drilling now and drilling here, is a GOOD THING, ok? What she IS going to do - and Progs are VERY, VERY afraid of this - is raise holy hell, in a very sweet and motherly way, mind you, and show up every bigoted two headed-Progressive moron for the second rate political hack he is.

Having seen her in action today, I'm going to make a prediction: She will wipe the floor with Joe Biden.

If the Progs think that she has no experience, then they will be cold-cocked and rope-a-doped. If they actually think that America will work to have their paychecks destroyed by the dumb programs of Barack Obama and Joe O'Biden as well as the surrender of American sovereignty, then she and John McCain will leave them with bloody stumps.

Frankly, I am looking forward to the debates in a way that I had no hope for, until today. They will be juicy, delicious, and filled with the red meat of hopelessly lost liberals, masticated by Republican bulldogs.

People can always make mistakes, and she, like Biden could self-destruct. But barring self-immolation, she has, in one day, unified the Republican party and given John McCain the one thing he could not have by himself. I have been saying to friends all day - "Get used to it - Vice President Hockey Mom." As for my long-time friend, Jim Clyburn, he has proven with this one slip - or purposeful - passing along the Federal Progressive line, that the club he is now in, may be integrated, but it's still a bunch of male chauvinist, whiskey-snorting booyahs. Some "change."
