Now, I'm starting to figure out why everyone calls us "stupid Americans." Citizens of the U.S. elected George W not once, but twice (after his father had been in office) and now people are actually considering voting for this character? Come on people!

The scariest thing about Sarah Palin is the fact that she has a chance of becoming the leader of the free world (if Bush hasn't lost that moniker for POTUS). While she may be a perfectly nice and maybe even smart person, I can think of perhaps a thousand folks who I know better and would be happier knowing they might assume the responsibility of deciding how to deal with the complicated and nuanced questions of diplomacy with Russia, not just pushing the nuclear war button. The media question, therefore, goes to whether I know Palin even as well as those other thousand folks for whom I would rather vote than Palin. If she can't answer the media's questions, I have to assume that she cannot answer mine.

Where is the evidence that Palin is a quick study? She has had a month to prepare for the Couric interview and she still came out sounding like a moron.
