Maureen Dowd, in her column in Thursday’s Las Vegas Sun, made a very appropriate comparison of Gov. Sarah Palin to Eliza Doolittle. Sen. John McCain and the Republican Party are trying to portray her as the complete package and ready to be president, but she is anything but.
Her experience is so thin as to be transparent. She spent her adult life in Wasilla, Alaska (population about 7,000), eventually becoming mayor. In December 2006, less than two years ago, she became governor.
Republicans try to make her lack of experience a virtue by claiming she’s not part of the Washington scene, but how can she lead without knowing the political scene or procedures there? The thought of her meeting with world leaders should send chills down your spine.
