Karl Rove: McCain’s VP pick is purely political, puts country second

Well, by the transitive property, anyway. Before Obama announced Biden was his choice for VP, one of the names kicked around was Governor Tim Caine of Virginia (who, before that, was mayor of Richmond). And of that possibility, Rove said this:

With all due respect again to Governor Kaine, he’s been a governor for three years, he’s been able but undistinguished. I don’t think people could really name a big, important thing that he’s done. He was mayor of the 105th largest city in America. And again, with all due respect to Richmond, Virginia, it’s smaller than Chula Vista, California; Aurora, Colorado; Mesa or Gilbert, Arizona; north Las Vegas or Henderson, Nevada. It’s not a big town. So if he were to pick Governor Kaine, it would be an intensely political choice where he said, `You know what? I’m really not, first and foremost, concerned with, is this person capable of being president of the United States?

Replace some names and a few pronouns and he’s talking about Palin, isn’t he? Holy crap I hope someone finds a public way of using this.
