Serious, terrifying aspect of Palin prank call by the Canadians I hadn't considered...

[Bippity Boo]

What if a spy from a foreign power called Palin up pretending to be the leader of a foreign power and said his nation was going to war with the US and nukes were on the way?

This lapse in security is actually totally serious, not just because it's a fun laugh shows Palin as a gullible idiot, but because it shows her and her staff to be recklessly incompetent political figures who would likely cause serious damage to the world, not just because of her intentional bad policies, but through sheer inability to do the job.

1. Indeed. If comedians could get through so quickly, and have her assume they were real, think of what

serious "intelligence" people could do.

2. This is why we don't want war with Canada.

5. Oh Dear!! I should not have told them the nuclear codes!!

I am in so much trouble. You betcha!!

6. Palin and her team are amateurs

and have been thrust onto the world stage without the skill, intelligence or preparation to even begin to handle the pressure. McCain obviously made a serious error in judgment for even considering her, and he is paying for it now.
