I've been watching her on Saturday Night Live ...it is so hilarious ... one of the funniest things about it is Tina Fey doesn't have to add very much to Palin's own words to make her skits one of the funniest things on TV.
But beyond that, the fact that McCain chose her, with the obvious political intention of simply wanting to get Hillary supporters on his side (unsuccessfully)and to get the conservative Christian right energized as well (successfully), without choosing someone who could actually take over as president, proves that he's not all "country first" and that he'll do anything, absolutely anything, to win an election. For God's sake he's 72, he's had cancer ...and his pick is Sarah Palin? The list of conservative thinkers who have a lot more to say about McCain's failure of a choice than I ever could is long and they are some of the most well-known conservative Republican writers and McCain supporters ...George Will, David Brooks, Kathleen Parker, etc.
