SARAH PALIN UNPLUGGED….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, but everyone is still nattering on as if this is business as usual. If it is, though, we’ve already entered the world of Idiocracy and we might as well all just give up and enjoy our super-size Slurpees while we can.
