The hits keep comin'

If you thought you had heard the best of the Sarah Palin stories, you ain't seen nuthin' yet.

There are a lot of people ready to spill the beans on this joke-of-a-VP-candidate. And this is direct from FOX News, of all places ... via Balloon-Juice.com.




The Wasilla Wingnut

Among the hits in that video, it is announced that Palin did not know the countries involved in NAFTA nor knew that Africa was a continent. I have no idea how much of this is true, but there can be no doubt that this woman was ill-prepared to be Vice-President and really was pretty ill-informed about a wide variety of things. The Gibson and Couric interviews proved that, with additional proof offered in the form of the complete unwillingness of the McCain campaign to allow her to interact with the press. They were afraid for a reason.

And the sad thing is that the stories about Africa and what not will keep trickling out and be fodder for arguments the next few days- the right wing blogs will say they are smears and people out to get her, reasonable people could agree with that, and what will be missed in all the rumors and leaked stories is the very evidence that she was and is, in fact, a dangerous buffoon.

This nation seriously dodged a bullet.
