And it's so terrible I didn't want to put it into a whole actual post. Bumped into this clip, on Andrew Sullivan's blog of all things: <a href="http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2008/09/palin-on-russia.html" rel="nofollow"><strong>Palin on Russia</strong></a>, with Katie Couric. All I can say is, I leaned back and clapped my hand over my mouth. Really. I had a flashback to my worst ever college final exam, where I had slacked off all semester, strategically picked what readings to catch up on, showed up to the exam, and found that I had picked wrong every time. I think I actually wept quietly as I left the exam building. Problem is, here, Palin actually would have KNOWN THIS QUESTION WAS COMING. Heaven help us if they get elected. I hear New Zealand is a beautiful country. Okay, apropos of, well, nothing thematic, except Rome the USA burning. And it’s so terrible I didn’t want to put it into a whole actual post.
