It’s official: Sarah Palin has no business within 100 miles of the White House

I don’t care about her kids, I don’t care about her syntax, I don’t care about what she scribbles on her hand.

What further cemented for me that Sarah Palin should be kept as far as possible from any seat of power is this:



Iran, whose disputed election last summer prompted massive demonstrations – where people died, remember? – proving that there are millions of people opposed to the current regime. We want to declare war on them? There’s really and truly no other way that you can think of to influence positive change in Iran besides blowing them up?

Oh, that’s right. You don’t actually want to go to war with them, you just want the president to pretend-war, so people who aren’t going to vote for him anyway will think he’s “tough.”

War is not a “card,” you idiot. Wars kill people. They kill soldiers, and countless civilians. (Maybe if you'd ever actually been in one, you'd understand that.) And presidents don’t make decisions about foreign policy so they can win a dick-measuring contest. That’s the difference between them and you.
