There is no way to NOT agree with what Cafferty has to say about this. He is appalled and rightfully so. This is not a person who is in any position to fill the 2nd highest official position in this nation. It is an utter disgrace to think that there were people out there who thought otherwise.
Good Lord, did anyone even interview Palin before choosing her as McCain's running mate? Compared to her speak, she makes Bush look like Archimedes!

CNN's Cafferty: 'If That Doesn't Scare the Hell Out
of You, It Should'
of You, It Should'
Wow. These CBS/Katie Couric interviews on the economy with Sarah Palin are
breathtaking. Cafferty's response afterwards is, on the other hand, a breath of
fresh air in the corporate media.
If any serious John McCain supporter can tell me, with a straight face, that
they'd actually have no problem voting for this woman for President, as
that's what she's ostensibly running for, I'd sure like to hear it.
As it seems very few saw these when they originally aired (during the bailout
panic last week), perhaps they need a bit more play. My god. Seriously, take a
look at these...
Little wonder then, that even rightwingers, after looking at this stuff, are
starting to face reality, and call
for Palin to be dropped from the ticket.
On CNN, Jack Cafferty was at least as alarmed by the interview as I was,
noting on air that "If John McCain wins this woman will be one 72-year-old's
heartbeat away from being President of the United States. And if that doesn't
scare the hell out of you, it should." Take a look at his reaction...
Not had enough yet? Here's the full 10 minute Palin/Couric interview on
foreign policy...
John McCain: Maverick? Or complete and utter fool who'd put the country at
risk with an irresponsible and cynical selection, rather than lose an
election.
