Separating the Wheat from the Chaff

In a meandering, disjointed interview with Time's Jay Newton-Small, Sarah Palin uses more than 2,100 words to utter the most honest 58 words she's ever uttered since selfishly launching herself on the public stage last Aug. 29:

I just have to be realistic about it and I have to be honest about it and say Alaska — certainly, Alaska, our state's fine without me at the governor's desk — but Alaska's going to be even better off in terms of progressing and reaching our potential and our destiny with Sean Parnell coming in, taking over the reins.

Damn straight! In fact, you could stick Chauncey frickin' Gardiner in that seat and he'd do a better job.
