I think my favorite part of this morning’s interview was when Palin justified her desire to “introduce” McCain with her intention to “brag him up” — a phrase that sounds dirty as well as vaguely violent. But this aside might have done more damage: “it would do what John McCain just can’t seem to do for himself — bless his heart;” if only because it sounds less like he’s too humble to boast about his own accomplishments (did you know he was a prisoner of war!?) than he’s too feeble.
As for Piper — she’s a pistol, that’s for sure. On the Palin plane, she stole the hearts of much of the press corps, who bought her trinkets on Halloween and doted on her like would-be aunts (and some uncles). She also is as qualified as her mother to be president.
