Oh, most likely. But the very fact that the question needs to be asked – and I'm not the only one asking it, believe me – indicates what a joke Sarah Palin has already become ...

Of the several Achilles' Heels floating around, her former membership in the Alaskan Independence Party is the largest. McCain's motto for this campaign is "Country First." The AIP's motto is "Alaska First – Alaska Always." It's a fringe right-wing party ...

... Palin, as mayor, hired a Washington lobbying firm to secure around $27 million in federal earmarks for her town. McCain of course has made his opposition to earmarks a central platform plank ...

Democrats should go after her here and there, but again, the main target should be the man of such alleged wisdom and judgment that, when he didn't get what we wanted, threw up his hands, stomped his feet at the other boys on the playground, said the hell with this and chose the absolutely most unqualified running mate he could have chosen ...
