Palin-Bash Continues: Africa Not a Continent

Fox News reports that cowardly McCain staffers continue to attack McCain's running mate, Sarah Palin, in an obvious attempt to lay blame at her feet, rather than their own.



Note the, once again, sexist connotations in the remarks about her being "emotional and hard to handle."

Even more extraordinary, though, is the admission that the McCain campaign was fully aware of this, and prepared to hand the Vice-Presidency to someone who lacked such basic knowledge. This says less about Palin, who had little need for foreign policy expertise as Alaska's Governor, than it does about McCain's cynical opportunism in picking Palin to begin with.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
