Quote:

She had all the staying power of a road flare - shone very bright beginning with her first rehearsed speech at the republican convention, and slid downhill ever after once people realized she was giving a book report without having read the book. I think her Alaska governorship will be her high point since she got there by failing upward; she couldn't stumble her way into a vice presidency the way she did her current job because running for a national position meant many more people were alert and paying attention than in sleepy Alaska.



Perfect.

Just caught Laurence O'Donnell on MSNBC tonight and he reamed her (and Pat Buchanan) out good. He asked Pat "Don't you come from the party that celebrates ignorance?"
