The national interest requires GOP sages to remove Palin
By WDavidStephenson | September 30, 2008
It’s no longer funny.
It’s no longer tolerable that McCain can be allowed to try to avoid the consequences of his hasty judgment.
The national interest demands that a person who can’t even name a single newspaper or magazine she reads regularly (and, as usual, talks 10th-grader-who-didn’t-do-her-homework ragtime instead of giving a straight answer) can be a heart-beat away from the presidency.
Even if she lucks out and isn’t nailed to the wall during the debate, it is simply unconscionable that one person — McCain — could be able to foist someone on us who is so dangerously incurious. No amount of debate camp could possibly transform someone who has never shown the least amount of interest in public affairs and real knowledge (remember: 6 tries before someone finally tossed her a degree!) into a person who would consistently immerse herself in policy issues and analysis. As a result, as president, she’d have no context for decision making.Forget the crap (and I don’t talk that way) about specious comparisons to past veeps or presidents with limited experience: none of them have been, how shall we say it politely, idiots. No matter what excuse it takes to get her to step aside, people such as Colin Powell or Bush the Elder who love their nation must intervene in the national interest.
