Sarah Palin Inserts Foot

God she is so stupid. I'm sorry but any person who get's so confused when put in front of a camera shouldn't be that close to the presidency, let alone being offered the chance. What happened to politics in America, where it used to be a choice of Palin would be immediate death for a campaign so stupid and idiotic to make it?

Palin: I'm Obama to Biden's McCain

"I'm new and he's got the experience based on many many years in the senate." No shit. Precisely the reason you aren't qualified.

Sarah Palin Can't Name a Newspaper She Reads

"I don't know. I've read them all. Alaska isn't some foreign country." Like you'd know Sarah. You didn't have a passport till now. And you can't see Russia from your house.

What continues to astonish me (aside from the fact that 26% of America continues to support Bush) is that she draws support. It's either her obscene right wing views of wanting to jail women who have an abortion as a result of rape/incest (source) or that people believe we can play American Idol with the presidency. You can't take someone who shows an inkling of leadership and throw them through the ringer for 5 weeks and expect the next great to come out of the process. Learning how to do this takes time or at least paying attention. Something. Anything.

The fact of the matter is that John McCain shot himself in the head with this choice, and while the explosion was enough to get people to pay attention, this was a suicidal move for the campaign. I can't wait for the debates on Thursday to end, once and for all, the idea that Sarah Palin is up to muster. McCain, being the stubborn ass that he is will either refuse to replace her (it's more mmm-mavericky that way) or will replace her with Huckabee. Either way, it's over and has been for a long time for this nightmare of a presidential campaign.
