*Update:
This has been a tremendous day for Sarah Palin. It's also been a great day for Republicans as we learned their quasi tea bagging former VP candidate and half-term governor of Alaska has accepted a job in their media relations department. Really it's a been a great day for the country as whole.
But nothing can be better news for Republicans than some of the quotes coming out of the "Game Change" book by Mark Halperin and John Heilemann about the 2008 presidential election. I think we've all heard, seen or read the quotes contained in the book from Harry Reid. The firestorm from that is still simmering. The wonderful items about Palin are still gaining traction and are sure to strengthen their base:
- McCain's staff found her on an internet search engine
- She did not know why there are two Korea's
- She did not know what the Federal Reserve did
- She believed Saddam had something to do with 9/11
- She had to be explained in detail about WWI, WWII and the Cold War
- The McCain campaign thought she was "mentally unstable"
These are just a few of the wonderful things Republicans will be cheering as they pretend none of it ever happened.
In my own personal opinion, I believe Palin has set the GOP back 40 years. Thus allowing the Republican Party to be controlled by secessionists, racists, religious quacks, conspiracy theorists and other nutjobs. But this is great news for Republicans, it always is.
