Read Before Using

What is, perhaps, most disturbing about this is that it appears Palin never read beyond the first paragraph (or two as best) of the Times article. She appears to have missed the parts about Obama's condeming Bill Ayer's previous actions with the Weather Underground. Can you imagine if she, as Commander in Chief, only read the first paragraph of intelligence reports sent to her? Does the term "nuclear holocaust" spring into mind?

Look, if we were to dismiss every politician for every encounter they have had with someone of less than perfect credentials as they climbed the ladder to higher offices, then no one, and I mean no one, would withstand that test. You betcha even Sarah came across people who weren't as pure as freshly fallen snow in Alaska as she aspired to her elected positions. Golly, this makes me just so angry!

In General

I'm quite sure that President Lincoln, bless his heart,would be quite happy that General McClellan is back on the job some 140 years later. Darn right, he would be!
