Can't Somebody, Anybody, Stop Palin?

So now Salon.com has a piece focusing on Palin 'going rogue' on McCain. We covered this aspect of her personality back on October 4. It was apparent then that Palin had her own agenda, and, as seems to always be the case with her, it was about acquiring power for herself. Dan Quayle was once considered the most unprepared and intellectually inferior person ever nominated for VP - until Palin. She has set the bar so low only a tapeworm could slide under it. She lets herself be humiliated on SNL and smiles vacantly, she questions McCain's positions, she tells a classroom of kids that the VP is in charge of the Senate, she charges the state of Alaska tens of thousands of dollars for her kids to stay in luxury hotels in NYC, and pull raffle tickets at dog races, she can see Russia, but can't name a newspaper she reads or a Supreme Court decision - I could go on and on. I live in NC - not the most progressive state in the US. Like most people, my uninformed notion of Alaska, prior to Palin, was of a semi-outlaw territory of smart individualists who were savvy and tough. Now? No one I know can conceive of how someone like Palin could be elected anywhere, to any office. The reputation of Alaska has taken such a hit because of her dishonesty and lack of intelligence it will take decades to recover. Which is a shame.

Can't somebody wrap her in an anorak, strap her to a dog sled, and send her off to the frigid white country of the north where she can inflict no more damage by her public ignorance?

Please don't send her away! At least not until 11/5. Her high-profile brand of blatant ignorance is the best advertising we have toward finally ousting the current regime and bringing sanity back to Washington DC.
