Good Riddance

I think there should be some kind of way to penalize the Republican Party for nominating this woman for Vice President. They should, like, lose a turn and have to sit out an election, or something. Remember, if they'd had their way, she would be the Vice President now.

But as for whether another pursuit of national office, as she did less than a year ago when she joined Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., in the race for the White House, would result in the same political blood sport, Palin said there is a difference between the White House and what she has experienced in Alaska. If she were in the White House, she said, the "department of law" would protect her from baseless ethical allegations.

"I think on a national level, your department of law there in the White House would look at some of the things that we've been charged with and automatically throw them out," she said.

As ABC News dryly points out in their piece:

There is no "Department of Law" at the White House.

I keep getting the feeling that any day know, it will be revealed that Sarah Palin is actually a character like Borat, and Sacha Baron Cohen's sister will drop the act, admitting to a comic coup of magnificent proportions. Yes, I suppose that is wishful thinking.

Still, I guess that, if it does happen, we can read about it in the magazines and newspapers. All of them.
