While I’ve raised questions about Sarah Palin’s readiness myself, I think Conor Friedersdorf gets a bit carried away:
To put a finer point on this, I ask the following
of everyone who watched tonight’s debate — were John McCain
assassinated at his inauguration by terrorists, even as two
American cities saw buildings partially blown up by truck bombs,
and Vladimir Putin used the opportunity to move troops into a
former Soviet Repulic, would you trust that Governor Palin would
have the knowledge, credibility, bearing and calming influence on
the country to handle the situation? Or would having her in the
Oval Office freak you out in a deep way? I’d be frightened, and I
expect a lot of people now supporting Governor Palin would think,
“Oh God, what have I done.”
This is getting pretty absurd. Would Conor somehow feel safe if
Barack Obama were president under those circumstances? What if the
Silver Surfer came to Earth and said Galactus was going to consume
the planet? Who would make him feel safe then?View all comments (2) | Leave a comment
