Vice President Sarah Palin/Schadenfreude

should send chills through your fucking blood:

“Look at what she’s done to this state. What would she do to the nation?” State Senate President Lyda Green, a Republican.

Before anybody says anything ludicrous, allow me to remind you that Obama has a JD, was the editor of the Harvard Law Review, a community organizer, and has lived abroad. She did local sports, ran a town the third the size of Norwood, and was runner up for Miss Alaska?

Are you kidding?

Update: Fire up the Celine Dion. Find Leo DiCaprio. Get to the life boats...it might be too late to steer from this iceberg. It's worse than I thought (better, actually, but that's a matter of perspective.

The question begs; What happens if she leaves the ticket? What does McCain do in this instance, since so much rides on his ability to be firm and steady. If Talking Points Memo has this correct, this is a fuck up of epic proportions. Jesus, to have the party lawyers doing vetting work during the convention? This is too much.

By the way: Some on the left are making an enormous amount of hay about Palin's kid and whatnot. I won't dignify that shit one bit, because, at the end of the day, its a cheap shot, and it dilutes what is very much at issue: McCain ability to lead, and Palin's shady "experience". This is what's important; not the morality of her nearly adult child's decisions.
