Palin's Resignation

I'm going to make a prediction. Palin doesn't show up for the VP Debates at WashU on Thursday. Perhaps a last minute resignation, or a third 'campaign suspension.' Speaking of McCain's last campaign suspension, it turns out TV ads continued to be ran, every field office was open, and no events were canceled. However, I digress. How can the McCain campaign allow Palin, who exhibited the intelligence of a thirteen year old in the Couric interview, to dribble nonsense from her empty head on stage as a representative of their campaign? I see no option for McCain, then to engineer someway of distancing himself from his god-awful VP choice.

Considering Sarah Palin for the role of VP in this country is irresponsible and laughable. Have Americans really become so distanced from rationality and so grossly misinformed that they would seriously think Sarah Palin should be one step away from the presidency? I don't think I'd trust her to manage a Burger King in Juneau, let alone our fucking country. I didn't think it possible to go lower than Dubya this election, but our nation has astonished me with a resounding, echoing empty-headedness.

As John Stewart says, here it is, your moment of Zen:

Couric: You've cited Alaska's proximity to Russia as part of your foreign policy experience. What did you mean by that?

Sarah Palin: That Alaska has a very narrow maritime border between a foreign country, Russia, and, on our other side, the land-boundary that we have with Canada. It's funny that a comment like that was kinda made to … I don't know, you know … reporters.

Couric: Mocked?

Palin: Yeah, mocked, I guess that's the word, yeah.

Couric: Well, explain to me why that enhances your foreign-policy credentials.

Palin: Well, it certainly does, because our, our next-door neighbors are foreign countries, there in the state that I am the executive of. And there…

Couric: Have you ever been involved in any negotiations, for example, with the Russians?

Palin: We have trade missions back and forth, we do. It's very important when you consider even national security issues with Russia. As Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where do they go? It's Alaska. It's just right over the border. It is from Alaska that we send those out to make sure that an eye is being kept on this very powerful nation, Russia, because they are right there, they are right next to our state.
