Palin by Comparison

Remember when Saddam Hussein's half-brother, Barzan Ibrahim al-Tikriti, was decapitated during his hanging at the beginning of last year?

Know why that happened?

Too much rope.

Say what you will - and I freely admit that this is nothing more than my opinion - but I have a strong sense that that's how Sarah Palin's time in the national spotlight is going to play out, metaphorically speaking.

But regardless, thank you, Mr. McCain, for further exposing the dearth of sound judgment that characterizes the core of the modern Republican party. Seriously.
