Sam Harris Newsweek Piece - BEST article that puts Palin selection in perspective...

[HardWorkingDem]

Folks, this is absolutely the best article that puts Palin's selection into proper context.


Grab it, copy it and pass it around.

Here is the best paragraph that shows what a political choice this was and what it could mean to the US....


......We have all now witnessed apparently sentient human beings, once provoked by a reporter's microphone, saying things like, "I'm voting for Sarah because she's a mom. She knows what it's like to be a mom." Such sentiments suggest an uncanny (and, one fears, especially American) detachment from the real problems of today. The next administration must immediately confront issues like nuclear proliferation, ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan (and covert wars elsewhere), global climate change, a convulsing economy, Russian belligerence, the rise of China, emerging epidemics, Islamism on a hundred fronts, a defunct United Nations, the deterioration of American schools, failures of energy, infrastructure and Internet security … the list is long, and Sarah Palin does not seem competent even to rank these items in order of importance, much less address any one of them......

1. Harris hit the nail directly on the head.

They can't afford for her to be out there running around talking to people.

She's a nuclear disaster waiting to happen.
