just about sums it up for me
I really like the way this is worded.
“Sarah Palin is very likable. There’s nothing wrong with liking her. But this isn’t a zany sitcom where a friendly, plucky Everywoman with dangerous ignorance on foreign policy gets to be vice president. Americans don’t deserve someone too scared to do a press conference. Fun for a TV show, but running the country doesn’t permit second and third takes when you mess up the scene.”
“The way they sell you her story makes her appealing as a person – and she does seem like a person you’d like to have a beer with – but we’ve already tried that, and this isn’t a game show, where a game show contestant’s knowledge of the world will cut it.”
“Barack Obama will meet John McCain any time, anywhere to have a foreign policy discussion about any area of the globe and any challenge to America. The person John McCain chose to be a heartbeat away from the presidency – Sarah Palin – won’t even have a press conference to answer questions on foreign policy. It’s a fun story about a gutsy, likeable woman that, if it were made into a wacky movie script, we’d all go buy a ticket, but in the real America we can’t play games with people who won’t answer questions about foreign policy. That’s unheard of, and a slap in the face to voters.”source
