Talk About Ingratitude . . .

If it wasn't for John McCain, Sarah Palin would still be a nobody:
The failed Vice Presidential nominee took time off from shilling her book to vacation with her son Trig, daughter Piper and opposite sex spouse Todd, in President Barack Obama's birth state of Hawaii on Tuesday.

But during beach time, Sarah chose to wear a visor from her campaign -- a visor that was emblazoned with the former presidential candidate's name ... that is, until Palin redacted McCain's name with a black marker.
McCain's decision to put Palin on the ticket will go down in history as one of the great political blunders of all time -- her idiocy turned out to be a huge drag on the ticket and her continuing idiocy may spell the end of the GOP as a major American political party (please God -- let her get the Republican nomination in 2012).

But McCain naming her as his running mate in 2008 certainly helped Palin personally. She should show more appreciation for that.

Oh, please don't wish out loud that she gets the GOP nomination. I get the strategy behind it, but am afraid there's much more support for her than we can imagine. How supremely disrespectful and petulant of her to advertise her little tantrum towards the man who gave her the greatest opportunity of her life. Which she blew. Which is good. Keep this stuff coming!

Maybe I shouldn't wish stuff like that out loud -- because if she did get the nomination, there would be a chance (albeit slight) that she could win, and that would be a catastrophe for America.

But I'm convinced that the rise of Sarah Palin could end up being the greatest thing ever for the progressive movement in this country, especially given that she will no doubt lead the effort to purge moderates from the ranks of the GOP.

I guess we'll know the answers to these questions soon enough . . . .
