Sarah Palin going "rogue" reveals one more aspect of her incompetence: if she actually were ready for the job she is applying for, then she would not have spent so much time bowing to the wishes of the handlers that McCain's campaign team assigned to her. She would have had the courage to tell the handlers either that they should stop trying to turn her into something she's not, or that she was the wrong person for their needs. Her inability to speak truth to power until long after the damage was done is just one more example of her inexperience and ineptness.

Palin is described by McCain's staff as a "diva" and a "whack job." I'm afraid, very afraid that "rogue" is the least of Palin's trouble.

Indeed, gullibility is clearly a big problem…Palin was "pranked" this weekend by a comedian posing as French president Sarkozy: http://cbs5.com/politics/sarah.palin.prank.2.8543…
