8. That's a good point

Now George W was also transparently unfit, but at least he had some kind of pedigree, and had speech writers, like Frum, to make him sound semi coherent.

But Palin was a whole new animal. Chosen for her loose mouth with Tea Party talking points, and her Barbie Caribou looks to appeal to horny white Republican men. Hey it worked for Fox News!, why not?

Sure SNL and Tina Fey did wonders to show who she really was, and other comics, but the MSM news continued to pretend she was a viable candidate. Even though they were being attacked as if they really were biased for simply asking her things like what papers she reads. How dare they ASSUME a future VP reads anything?

But long after almost everyone, at least every Democrat leaning person and even others who were nonpolitical, knew she was unqualified and had a few screws loose, the MSM was still trying as hard as possible to bite their lips and not break out laughing, and put on their serious face and treated her like a qualified person, and shrunk back every time a loud Republican chastised them for daring to question her credentials.
