I was overjoyed when John McCain announced that Sarah Palin was joining his ticket, and I’ve been publicly irritated with her mistreatment by the MSM, but her inability to respond coherently to questions even from the likes of Katie Couric are a cold shower reality that I can no longer ignore, much as I’d like to.<\/p>
