God save us from these stark raving loonies

Un-freakin’-believable. How often can one say that?

We already saw Palin screw up completely on understanding the powers of the Vice President (“He’s in charge of the Senate.”) Perhaps that was a bit arcane. We shouldn’t expect to hold her to having a good knowledge of the what's involved in the office to which she aspires. That’s one of those unfair gotchas.

But – Oh – My – Gawd! Now we see on stark display the fact that Palin doesn’t even have an understanding of the Constitution worthy of a decent middle school student. She thinks press criticism of what she says about Obama threatens her 1st Amendment rights. Boo hoo.

Anyone who would even think about voting to put this supposedly grown person in the White House is light-years behind blindly ignorant. It’s impossible to overstate how awful this is.
