McCain/Palin: A World of Idiocracy

Kevin Drum, on the scary possibility of Sarah Palin as VP:
Look, this is just getting scary. I don't care how partisan you are, you can't watch this clip from Sarah Palin's interview with Katie Couric without wondering if she's completely cracked under the pressure of running for vice president. The question is a simple softball about the bailout — something she's had weeks to bone up on — but her answer is incoherent. Not just the usual platitudes politicians offer when they don't feel like answering a tough query, but completely incoherent. Hell, it's barely even in English.

I don't even feel right making snarky jokes about this stuff anymore. This campaign has gone seriously off the rails. I've never seen anything like it...
And this is the person McCain thinks is best to take over as president with a war in Iraq, a war in Afghanistan, military skirmishes in Pakistan, and a financial crisis that looks more and more like it could be another depression?

Say it with me: Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Now, more than ever.
