The mind boggles

I just now watched the "full interview" of Sarah Palin after having only seen a few clips here and there. Unfortunately the whole thing is very heavily edited, leaving us to wonder what was left out (and, really, why can't they just post the thing in its entirety somewhere on their website?).

Anyway--wow. The word "farce" comes to mind. She simply could not answer the questions. He'd ask a very specific question--what three changes will you make to the Bush economic policy? should the U.S. cross into Pakistan to attack Al Qaeda?--and she would repeat the same scripted phrases over and over, phrases that did nothing to address the question. And in the cases when she finally relented and did answer the question, she rarely made much sense. For example, one of the three "changes" she would make to the Bush economic policy is "cut taxes". Are you serious?

What a train wreck of an interview. So unprepared. So unqualified. So ignorant. Could you imagine her in a debate with Hillary Clinton?

Words are useless. Just watch it for yourself. I'll save you the YouTube search:
