Oooo! This dish is delish! Considering the source (as in who's spilling the beans, not Vanity Fair), it may or may not be true, but it's still a thing of beauty and a joy forever.
the conventional wisdom among Palin’s supporters in the Republican establishment was that she should go home, keep her head down, show that she could govern effectively, and quietly educate herself about foreign and domestic policy with the help of a cadre of experienced advisers.See, this is what gets me about her. If she were a smart politician, this is exactly what she'd do. I don't like her, but I would think better of her as a politician if she'd go home, govern the SHIT out of Alaska, and give it an election or two before she runs again. Why the FUCK would anyone want to vote for a former governor who leaves their state in an appalling condition? If I'm going to vote for a former governor, I want to be able to see that he or she has run their state well, not spent the majority of it preening for national cameras and skivving off whenever they can

As a Massachusetts resident, that's pretty much exactly my reaction to Mitt Romney's presidential bid.
Yeah, when most people were either lawling at Romney or taking him very seriously last year during the primaries, I noticed a startling number of Masachusetts residents pretty much had the reaction of "OH GOD NO FUCK NO HE'S AWFUL TERRIBLE BAD BAD BAD."
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?
No words express how fortunate America is that this person is not in a position of national influence because the message that would give is that America celebrates and values complete ignorance about the most basic current affairs and local/international knowledge. Good fucking god.

Um... the same thing it said when George Bush was in office, maybe? In 2004, anyway.
I gave up halfway through. It's a well-written article, but I can't stand thinking about this woman long enough to finish it. The caricature at the top is EXCELLENT, though.
