Training Wheels

Quote of the Day:
When we think it's time and when she feels comfortable doing it.
-McCain campaign manager Rick Davis, on when Americans can expect to see an interview with the woman McCain feels is ready for the presidency.

As Josh Marshall put it, we should not have to depend on "training wheels we can believe in"...
Sarah Palin could be the President of the United States in four and a half months. We tend to think of this as an abstraction; but it's true. And yet today she's so unprepared and knows so little about the challenges and tasks facing the country...

Palin is the incarnation of the Republican slurs. The darling of the hard-right... She pushes all their buttons. But she's such a lightweight, they can't risk letting her answer a few questions. Not even on Fox. They know she's not ready and probably never will be. But they think the politics might work for them.
If this ticket wins, if Americans make the tremendous mistake of electing John McCain and Sarah Palin, our destiny will be sealed. America will be no more. We'll all be so very fucked.
