    Palin needs a public psychological evaluation.

    With regard to everything we have heard about Governor Palin, it would be a reasonable request for the press to ask her for a public psychological evaluation, by a well informed secular psychologist. I think it would take just thirty minutes on the couch for everyone to understand just how bereft of logical faculties this person is. I think her party and the world for that matter would have no choice but to dismiss her as a charming little lunatic who almost slipped under the radar. We could all wipe the sweat off our brow, and say, “whew, that was a close one.”
