Another highly convincing argument in Sarah Palin's favour

This is a time to put politics aside, and concentrate instead on getting John McCain elected, so I hope it's not too insensitive of me to draw attention to the latest ingenious talking point from the Republican campaign, which is that Sarah Palin's time in office as mayor of the bustling metropolis of Wasilla, and as governor of Alaska, means she "has more executive experience than Barack Obama and Joe Biden put together", as Michael Goldfarb puts it on his blog at JohnMcCain.com. Conservative blog Hot Air picks up the baton: "...In nineteen months as governor, she certainly has had more practical experience in diplomacy than Biden or Obama have ever seen. She runs the only American state bordered only by two foreign countries, one of which has increasingly grown hostile to the US again, Russia." (The Jawa Report drives the point home.) Sneering liberals, please remember: if you criticise Palin on the grounds that her experience is limited to Wasilla, you are personally insulting the entirety of smalltown America. Also, don't you realise there's a hurricane on? [via Political Animal]
