    Another Quote of The Day:

    Said Wallace: “The idea of a mentally ill vice president who suffers in complete isolation was obviously sparked by the behaviors I witnessed by Sarah Palin. What if somebody who was ill-equipped for the office were to ascend to the presidency or vice presidency? What would they do? How long would it take for people to figure it out? I became consumed by this question.”

    “Palin vacillated between extraordinary highs on the campaign stage — she ignited more enthusiasm than our side had seen at any other point — to debilitating lows. She was often withdrawn, uncommunicative and incapable of performing even the most basic tasks required of her job as McCain’s running mate… There certainly were discussions — not for long because of the arc the campaign took — but certainly there were discussions about whether, if they were to win, it would be appropriate for her to be sworn in.”

    Wow. Thanks for posting that, M. Bouffant.
    of course. palin lovers will just say Wallace was a liberal plant in the campaign and gloss right over it, but it’s nice to know that the repubs who threw the deer into the headlights knew we were right when we declared it unfit from the minute we saw it.

    No surprises here. Empty head and big boobs–that’s what Roger Ailes wants.

    Wonder what that says about Megyn Kelly and the rest of the Fox News fembots?
