New York Times columnist, Bob Herbert writes "She's Not Ready." Mr. Hebert opens this piece with "While watching the Sarah Palin interview with Charlie Gibson Thursday night, and the coverage of the Palin phenomenon in general, I’ve gotten the scary feeling, for the first time in my life, that dimwittedness is not just on the march in the U.S., but that it might actually prevail."
Although Mr. Herbert didn't state it, Mrs. Palin graduated with a BA in journalism from a university in Idaho. After she attended 5 colleges in 6 years to complete a 4 year degree. Mr. McCain graduated at the bottom of his class 894/899 at the Naval Academy. Compared with Mr. Obama who graduated at the top of his class, magna cum laude from Harvard Law School and Mr. Biden who earned a Jurist Doctorate. We live in serious times, and the Republicans are wallowing like a fool in his folly seeming wise in his own eyes. Woe to the USA if Mrs. Palin and Mr. McCain are elected.
As Mr. Herbert points out "The economy is in a tailspin. The financial sector is lurching about on rubbery legs. We’re mired in self-defeating energy policies. We’re at war. And we are still vulnerable to the very real threat of international terrorism."
"With all of that and more being the case, how can it be a good idea to set in motion the possibility that Americans might wake up one morning to find that Sarah Palin is president?
I feel for Ms. Palin’s son who has been shipped off to the war in Iraq. But at his deployment ceremony, which was on the same day as the Charlie Gibson interview, Sept. 11, she told the audience of soldiers that they would be fighting “the enemies who planned and carried out and rejoiced in the death of thousands of Americans.”
