McCain: Don't Listen to Anything Palin Says, Unless It's Scripted For Her
Saturday night, while on a stop for cheesesteaks in South Philadelphia, Sarah Palin was asked by a Temple graduate student about whether the U.S. should cross the border from Afghanistan into Pakistan. "If that's what we have to do stop the terrorists from coming any further in, absolutely, we should," Palin said. "She would not…she understands and has stated repeatedly that we're not going to do anything except in America's national security interest," McCain told ABC's George Stephanopoulos of Palin. "In all due respect, people going around and… sticking a microphone while conversations are being held, and then all of a sudden that's—that's a person's position… This is a free country, but I don't think most Americans think that that's a definitve policy statement made by Governor Palin." Excerpted from CNN report
"It was like watching Gidget address the Reichstag"
Must-read Matt Taibbi's Rooling Stone article about Palin.
There's a lot of great ranting in the piece, but here's the sober "money quote":

Yeah, I'm sure that's all he said!
"I'm John McCain and I approve this message even though it's being put on You Tube while I'm still on stage. I guess those SNL guys had a point."
Where's Your Flag Pin, Senator McCain?
Oh, that's right. Only the black guy with the funny name needs one to prove he loves his country.
