Well, shit! Why am I not McCain's VP? I'm a quick learner. Why, just last week I learned how the entire sales and cash process works at my new job. I'm ready to handle the economy!
One of my family members is an evangelical Christian anti-abortion hockey mom with two children with special needs. Today she talked my ear off about the economic crisis with an amazing depth of understanding. She's the incredibly smart Sarah Palin, way smarter than me. I have never been able to bullshit my way through something I don't understand which is one reason why I've always had a fair amount of performance anxiety - I over-prepare for meetings because I have to know what I'm talking about or I look completely stupid bullshitting my way through it. I used to have nightmares where I was unprepared for something and was being put on the spot - like some people have nightmares about going to work with no pants on. Watching Sarah Palin in that Katie Couric interview was like watching one of those nightmares. It was just painful. I am absolutely horrified that she's the VP candidate. It's just beyond astonishing and insulting to the American people (a lot of whom, granted, are stupid).
