Sarah Palin has had "executive experience," sure. Governing a state! That sounds so impressive! I thought there was no way to refute the claim of her executive experience, but I was wrong. The entire State of Alaska has a smaller population that Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.
The illustrious Governor has shown mind-bogglingly poor judgment in both her private and public lives. Bullet point time!
- Troopergate! It gets better--the replacement for the wrongfully terminated State Trooper had numerous sexual harassment charges against him, and Palin was aware of this.
- Odd and Dangerous Decisions during her pregnancy with Trig...and some internet cover up? (I am not bothered by the McCain campaign's timing of the story--at least they're getting some of their common sense back)
- So conservative she sued the Bush administration over--wait for it--putting polar bears on the endangered species list. Everyone loves polar bears. Except Sarah Palin.
- Even EPIC Conservative George Will hates her.
- Doesn't believe in Global Warming.
- Palin on Abortion: "I'd oppose even if my daughter was raped." Her daughter was 14 at the time, and Alaska's rape rate was distressingly well over the national average.

Also infuriating is this article from the Associated Press: http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5jfTm-bOoREGlDJnQXYG9I2CDN-wQD934SK0G0
Apparently, while Palin was mayor of Wasilla (hello, crystal meth capital of Alaska), the police department charged rape and sexual assault victims for rape kits. When a bill passed the state legislature outlawing this practice, the police department said that they were concerned that the bill would force the city to come up with the funds for the kits.
I cannot coherently express how much I hate Sarah Palin. I am seriously hoping that EMILY's List kicks the shit out of her.
