There's a lot of handwringing about the fact that Sarah Palin is "one 72 year-old heartbeat away from being the president", and whether she's ready for that. This seems to ignore a more fundamental question: forget about being president, is she ready to be the vice-president ?
Even if it's not clear to her what a VP does, I think it's pretty clear that her grasp on something as important as the current bailout package is ... tenuous, to put it kindly. [Translation of the look on Katie Couric's face in that last clip: "Must restrain myself ... in face of ... incoherent blathering ... on ... job creation ... oh god, kill me now ..."]
In short: no, she's not ready.
But you knew that already, didn't you ?
