I am writing this b/c like many of us, I am stumped. There are many levels to my stumpedness, and this may be my attempt to work through them. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out the selection of Sarah Palin as a Vice-Presidential candidate. I assume like a lot of you, I didn't know too much about Palin at first, all I knew was that some pundits had mentioned her as being one of the "Republicans on the rise" and figured she had a lot going for her.
After the interviews with Gibson and Couric, there can be little doubt that she is a mental midget of biblical proportions and much like Ricky Bobby of Taledega Nights, I pray to 6 lb. 8 oz baby Jesus every night that she remains the VP candidate for the Republicans. I make that prayer with one caveat, that she not actually become the Vice President of my beloved United States.
