I agree with you Sean that Palin probably even lacks the ability of introspection in that sense. I still feel uncomfortable 'hounding' a relatively wet-behind-the-ears (ex-)candidate, but it truly beggars belief how moronic this one turned out to be.

I honestly have to wonder if Republican strategists deliberately chose the most foolish, dimwitted female candidate they could possibly find as a way of sticking two fingers up to the prospect of breaking through the glass ceiling and womens representation in politics generally. The whole thing almost seems like a tasteless joke by them.
