John McCain picked her, but there's increasing evidence that Sarah Palin isn't up to the job. Here's another take on Palin and her knowledge problem from E. J. Dionne of the Washington Post:
John McCain’s campaign acknowledged this weekend that Sarah Palin is unprepared to be vice president or president of the United States.
Of course, McCain’s people said no such thing. But their actions told you all you needed to know.
McCain, Barack Obama and Joe Biden all subjected themselves to tough questioning on the regular Sunday news programs. Palin was the only no-show. And it’s not just the Sunday interviews. She has not opened herself to any serious questioning since McCain picked her to be next in line for the presidency.
McCain’s advisers clearly don’t trust Palin to answer questions about policy, and don’t want her to answer many of the questions that have been raised about her tenure as governor of Alaska.
Rick Davis, McCain’s campaign manager, gave the game away when he said on “Fox News Sunday” that she would not meet with reporters until they showed a willingness to treat her “with some level of respect and deference.”
Deference? That’s a word used in monarchies or aristocracies. Democracies don’t give “deference” to politicians. When have McCain, Obama, Biden or, for that matter, Hillary Clinton asked for deference?

Does this look like the Tulsa World forum to you, L? Did you get lost? If not, it's a good idea.

Back in the Boortz item, I said,
"...right-wing talking heads often project their own proclivities and plans by way of their insults."
The guy who signed himself "loser" is an example of this observation.
Why is it so? Lack of ability to put oneself in the other guy's shoes, maybe? That just about sums up the psychology of the modern GOP.
