I know Palin has supposedly, finally, turned herself into a complete joke and her political career into mist. So keep laughing (I know I am). Then remember what they said about a certain draft-dodging rehab'ed drunk ex-fratboy who could barely speak English. Or the senile actor before him. There's a bit of a longer list actually, but there's not much point in being bored by it. If there is one truth in American politics, it's that no one is ever too stupid, too venal, or too corrupt to be elected President (and if there's a second, it's that there isn't much rational behavior on the part of the American electorate). If you read it here at all, it might have been here first. Cheers ya'll.
