Sarah Palin, the former Alaska Governor and 2008 GOP Vice Presidential nominee, has been ridiculed for having written a few key words on the palm of her hand during the Tea Party Convention last month. One would have thought that she would have known the key points she was going to make in her speech.
As ridiculous as that looked, Sarah has now made things worse by stating that God wrote on his hand, and that she was simply following his lead!
It must be admitted that this explanation will appeal to maybe 30 percent of the country, the same population that automatically supports Sarah Palin, but it only adds to her ultimate problem: Can anyone in the Republican party take her seriously as a candidate for President based on such statements, added to all her other liabilities?
Have we ever had a nominee of a political party who is best remembered for the weirdness of his or her statements and behavior? Are we willing to descend to the lowest common denominator in picking a President of the United States? Hopefully, the answer is NO!
