I was overjoyed when John McCain announced that Sarah Palin was joining his ticket, and I’ve been publicly irritated with her mistreatment by the MSM, but her inability to respond coherently to questions even from the likes of Katie Couric are a cold shower reality that I can no longer ignore, much as I’d like to.
I don’t think she’s stupid, but rather that gibberish does not become her.
Someone suggested that this may be the first time in Sarah Palin’s life that she can’t bank on good looks and charisma to win people over and that she was unrealistically (and unbecomingly) over-confident in accepting McCain’s invitation.
Anyone who’s ever crammed for a test can recognize the pattern in her now infamous answers to questions about foreign policy and the proposed economic bailout. Some people are good regurgitators, but Sarah Palin isn’t one of them.
At this point, she’s pretty well destroyed any credibility she might have had as a potential Presidential stand-in, even, I suspect, with the hard core Republican base.
I’m not looking forward to her debate with Biden this week and would not be disappointed if she withdrew from the ticket for whatever hackneyed excuse she’d care to use, “family responsibilities” being the one that immediately comes to mind.
