- Truly, Sarah Palin has come a long way. When she ran for vice president, she frequently became disjointed and garbled when she departed from her prepared remarks. Now the prepared remarks are incoherent, too.

LMW COMMENT … How can any Republican, or any American, can take this ignornat and lying woman seriously. Yet some do. That is the truly frightening truth about Sara Palin.
