Tell Me They're Joking

It's just effing ridiculous. The GOP is going way out of its way to make sure nobody can talk to Sarah Palin and subsequently report on it. I don't know if this has to do more with her outrageous lack of qualifications to be Vice President of the USA, or just because when she does talk she tends to lie through her teeth. Regardless, the only access to Sarah Palin is the occasional photo op.

Despite all this, there is plenty of evidence that she is woefully inexperienced, dishonest, and toes the Christian-right line. There is plenty of evidence that her values are anti-woman and anti-working class.

And yet. AND YET! Sarah Palin's mere presence on the Republican ticket is making it difficult for Obama to court Hillary Clinton supporters? This despite the fact that the similarities between Clinton and Palin are 100% biology and 0% ideology. Is biology going to get the US out of the mess it's in?

What the hell is wrong with people?
