Well, you say "harmless", and I suppose it's technically so, but...
what's terrifying is that they - the Republican machine - were ready to go along with a VP candidate that was utterly, completely, unequivocally the wrong person for the job.
She's the wrong person to teach FOURTH GRADE.
She's someone who's coasted through her life on her looks* and her manufactured sass, and thank GOD America saw through it. Of any VP in my lifetime, Palin would be the most likely to have to take office, because McCain + melanoma = short life expectancy. (I'm still shocked the media didn't make more of this, because melanoma is some serious shit.)
Thank god we dodged THAT bullet (unlike all those poor worn-out copter-hunted wolves Palin's shot).
But you know, in her defense: about Africa? Some US Americans don't HAVE maps. Such as. For the children.
But she knows right where Russia is: out her kitchen window! You betcha.

I don't really remember myself, but I'm not aware of any historical precedent for the veep candidate participating in the concession speech. Which, OK, Palin being entirely ignorant of history and precedent is hardly front-page news, but that really jumped out at me more than anything in that article. Like dude, lady, IT AIN'T ALL ABOUT YOU.

This is the best encapsulation of crosseyed conservatism,
to which Palin only adds stylish glasses.

First intelligent decision they made since taking her on.
I just wonder if she'll get re-elected for governor, even.
