She didn’t say or do anything completely stupid, but her body language said, “I’m scared to death, let me do exactly what I’ve been trained to do the past three days and maybe I’ll survive this.”
Remember how I said the thought of John McCain as president doesn’t scare me?
It doesn’t. But the thought of him dying, and Sarah Palin succeeding him for any considerable length of time, does. After 8 years of Bush, a Palin presidency of significant length could finish the U.S. as a world power. I hope it never happens.
