Sarah Palin Responds to Nuclear Crisis

The first time I heard the name Sarah Palin, I was about to get on a plane at JFK airport. Yeah, right, I thought. By the time I got off the plane at LAX, she was John McCain's running mate. Oh God, no, I thought. This is awful. She's just the kind of candidate to make a certain breed of undecided feel comfortable with his latent bigotry and down-home ignorance. She'll get hardcore conservatives and scrape off a few more Clinton supporters*

I could only hope that there would be time for inevitable fascination-fest to give way to a backlash. Katie Couric's interview sped up the process, for sure, as did Palin's nutty comments about seeing Russia from Alaska. Fingers crossed that she doesn't pull off that spunky mom-with-venom act from her convention speech at the debate this Thursday (and that Biden doesn't gaffe it up and distract from her incompetence). Regardless, more and more people are taking a moment to imagine this person in control of nuclear weapons. She doesn't have a clue what's going on or where she is--she's supposed to run the most powerful country in the world? On that thought, I'd like to introduce this brilliant little video that just popped up on Youtube:

Ha! It's hilarious because we might all be dead.

* Turns out Hillary Clinton was right--her most ardent working-class white voters really did remain skeptical of Obama:

In this time of economic crisis, Sarah Palin has decided make sure all Christian Americans will have a happy gift-filled Christmas. The McCain cap issued a statement saying 'Sarah Palin is from Alaska. She can see the north Pole from her house When Santa Claus rears his head every year he uses Alaskan airspace. Sarah Palin has had trade missions with the Chrismas elves. She is the most qualified candidate to save Christmas'
