Palin? Is this for real?

When the African-American Democratic candidate draws tens of thousands of people to hear a speech, the Republicans call it "shallow celebrity". But when the woman Republican candidate draws large crowds, they call it "energizing the base".

Is this country serious, or have we simply gone past the point of no return? People are actually excited about a woman who might be the vice president elect in less than sixty days and she doesn't even know what the Bush Doctrine is? Watch her simultaneously bluff her way past her ignorance and still try to sound condescending to Charles Gibson - the only one in the room who knows what the Bush doctrine is.

Watch Matt Damon's response to the idea of Sarah Palin as veep, or worse, as president.



Damon gets it.

And, again with the hypocrisy: Republicans say Barack Obama's religious beliefs are out of the mainstream, but Sarah Palin, who believes that the earth may only be six thousand years old and Adam and Eve must have ridden a dinosaur to work, represents "heartland values".
