Ah, Facebook. Some wit has formed a group on the social networking site called "I have more foreign policy experience Sarah Palin." The description: "For all of you dumbfounded by the selection of Governor Sarah Palin as John McCain's running mate. This moose-eating political featherweight could be a heartbeat away from the presidency—what a frightening thought" As my friend Bree Hocking points out, the membership—nearly 11,000 as of this writing—already exceeds the population of Wasilla.
