What's equally unbelievable is that Palin hasn't been laughed off the GOP ticket yet. If McCain gets elected with this complete noob in tow I fear for the future of the US of A, I really do. If Republicans actually care about good governance they'll drop her like last season's handbags. Of course, the obvious mental exercise here is to imagine what would happen in the alleged "leftist" media if Obama kept his VP pick Joe Biden out of the spotlight the same way McCain is. The words "Fox News" and "feeding frenzy" and "hey, who was Joe Biden again?" come quickly to mind... Then I think about what would happen here in Australia if either Labour or the Liberals were to choose an incompetent lying buffoon like Palin as their deputy. Australians might remember the farce of Pauline Hanson, possibly the most offensively ignorant "regular joe" type person ever to enter Australian politics. Sad thing is she got elected...by Queenslanders. Now, I like Queensland (it's tropical like Florida, stacked with farmers & elderly retirees from the southern states but with no Cubans and more outback) but that didn't surprise me one bit. Fortunately that little saga was over before Hanson could do any real damage. Palin, though - with the support of Fox, the GOP and a gazillion hard-prayin' hockey moms for Jesus, well...be afraid, America. Be very afraid.
