What are they writing about Sarah Palin in the UK?

Sarah Palin as President
Someone is having quite a bit of fun at Sarah Palin’s expense. Make sure you click around when you visit this site. Especially the red phone.

I have only seen this excerpt of Charlie Gibson’s interview of Sarah Palin, not the whole interview. So far, it confirms the impression of all honest self-critical people. Sarah Palin resembles a high school student trying to bluff her way through an answer in class. She is incompetent to be Vice-President because she is uninformed, [...]
