Sarah, you ignorant slut

More stories are leaking out from McCain aides about Sarah Palin's total lack of understanding of the issues of the day. Of course, a lot of it comes directly from her own mouth, as when she ridiculed fruit fly research in her policy speech on special needs education. 

"Slut" may be a bit strong, but it's not that much of a stretch for someone who relies on a charismatic stage presence and a smug overconfidence in place of anything more substantive. James Hannaham in Salon points out that she'd fit right in as a reality TV star. 

I fervently hope this woman never gets anywhere near the Oval Office. And John McCain should be ashamed of himself for picking her.
