The fallout from Sarah Palin's trainwreck on CBS continues. Fareed Zakaria, editor of Newsweek International, takes McCain to task for putting Palin on the ticket:
Sarah Palin is utterly unqualified to be vice president...In these times, for John McCain to have chosen this person to be his running mate is fundamentally irresponsible. McCain says that he always puts country first. In this important case, it is simply not true.
Even hardcore conservatives are jumping off the Palin bandwagon. Kathleen Parker of the National Review is among several columnists calling for Palin to bow out for the sake of her country.
Giddy right-wingers shed tears of joy when McCain chose the moose-eating Barracuda. Those same people should now ask themselves whether it's patriotic to support lunacy, because that's exactly what McCain's choice has proven to be.
It's the most preposterous VP pick in modern history, and anyone who gleefully and blindly jumped on the Palin train without knowing the facts has disqualified themselves from being taken seriously in the future. So has John McCain.

If this country elects McCain-Palin, we will have truly become a nation without any self respect. Truly a race to the bottom; a race to see just how stupid a set of leaders we can elect. If we thought W and Cheney were bad, just wait. The current administration has such a horribly low approval rating, yet many of the same people who are complaining bitterly honestly believe that these two clowns represent a better America. It is truly amazing that so many people can be so ignorant as to think that Sarah Palin would make a good V.P. or God forbid, President. Issues and truth are being overlooked in favor of empty words such as "maverick" and rehearsed right wing phrases and talking points.
A race to the bottom! Has the Bush administration left any room below? Let's hope we've hit rock bottom.
