I have to say, despite hating pretty much everything she stands for and being utterly repulsed by her smarmy, no-nothing smugness during the election, I'm starting to feel sorry for Sarah Palin.
She is too ambitious to have refused an invitation she absolutely should have declined and now she's paying the price. Republican operatives, desperate to shift the blame for losing the election, have been spilling the beans about how shallow and ill-informed she actually is. She's getting hammered pretty badly. I will admit to a certain schadenfreude about the whole thing.
That's not to say I don't continue to hope we never hear from her again. In some circles of the Republican party, she is right now their number one choice for the 2012 nomination. Yikes. I'm torn between laughing at how goofy you'd have to be for thinking she's a viable candidate or could ever be an effective chief executive and sheer terror at the outside possibility that she'd succeed in being elected.
