Palin Meltdown
Here is a piece from vanity fair about Palin - which came out before her meltdown. It's like 10,000 words - but well worth it.

Just some of my favorite quotes:
"What does it say about the nature of modern American politics that a public official who often seems proud of what she does not know is not only accepted but applauded?"
"To be sure, Palin is “conservative,” whatever that means, but she can be all over the lot in the articulation of her platform."
Referring to her increase in tax-supported 'refunds' to Alaskans--"She could be a fiscal conservative and a big spender all at the same time."
"This is the third thing McCain could have discovered about Palin—a woman, after all, who kept a pregnancy secret for seven months, flew all the way home from Texas to Alaska with a near-full-term baby while leaking amniotic fluid, and then finally drove the 45 minutes from Anchorage to a hospital in Wasilla, all so that the child could be born in the 49th state."
"As governor, she hired several old high-school, hometown, or political friends with minimal qualifications for important state jobs. ...another became director of the state Division of Agriculture, citing a childhood love of cows as one qualification." Remind you anyone?
