Be afraid, America. Be VERY afraid.
Flist, if you missed Charlie Gibson's interview with Sarah Palin tonight, you can see ABC's write up of it here as well as links to excerpts. Suffice it to say it's now painfully obvious why the McCain camp are keeping her away from one-on-one interviews and only letting her appear with McCain, repeating the same lines. She was TERRIBLE.

My thoughts on Palin's speech are as follows (in bullet points)
- she has a smirk of her own!
- too divisive
