NYT: Disclosures on Palin Raise Questions on Vetting Process - Readers’ Comments
I usually try not to read the comments, cos, I mean, hello. But this woman is so right on. So right on.

DING DING DING! This wins today’s Award for Accuracy. This is the last time you’ll see me mention Palin’s pregnant daughter here, though, because it really is more of a personal matter than a political issue, despite the abovementioned basic hypocrisy on the part of cultural conservatives. That said: Palin’s ongoing corruption investigation, membership in a secessionist and anti-American political party, and proclivity for earmarked federal spending are all totally fair game! As is the breathtaking irresponsibility of John McCain’s choosing her as his running mate without even, apparently, doing so much as a fucking Google search. I understand that you don’t dig the computer websites, John, but that’s what you’ve got a staff for. But no, you had to run off half-cocked, you irresponsible fuck. You just showed this country why you’re the last fucking person we want in control of the button.
Seriously, why has nobody noticed that there’s only been one candidate in this whole election who has run an effective, clean, organized campaign that is achieving every one of its strategic goals? And that said candidate is the one who’s supposedly not “experienced” enough to be able to do such things?
