Jonathan Capehart, editorial writer at the Washington Post, gets an A+ for his contribution this morning to the Post's Post Partisan blog. I now understand why this guy won the Pulitzer prize in 1999 after reading today's spot-on analysis of Gov. Sarah Palin's response to an oh-so-obvious question from Katie Couric. Capehart wrote:
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin should have seen the question coming. But when Katie Couric pressed her to explain what she meant about Alaska's proximity to Russia informing her foreign policy experience, Palin's answer was startling.
And now for Capehart's knockout punch:
This nails-on-a-chalkboard response, and the speed with which it ricocheted in cyberspace, reminded me of another embarrassing video clip of another woman aspiring to a higher position. I'm talking about 2007 Miss Teen South Carolina Lauren Caitlin in her quest to become Miss Teen USA.
How true, right? I think Obama's ad team can go on vacation from here on out. Just show Palin's response to Couric's question and the American public should have all the information they need to understand what a mess it would be having Palin anywhere near the White House. Palin's performance was a disaster and should be highly concerning for all Americans. To be sure, Obama must focus predominately on McCain and his policies, not on Palin and her (substantial) shortcomings. But Palin was McCain's choice, and this decision reveals the type of person he would surround himself with as president.
Let's just hope that Lauren Caitlin wouldn't be offered a cabinet position, too.
