Who Vetted St. John McBungle?

Listening to CBS Radio News this morning, it's becoming clear that despite the media's initial obsession with Sarah "Who?" Palin's daughter's situation, the real stories are found in Palin's abuse of authority in the "Troopergate" saga, and, more strangely, in her confirmed membership in a nutbag outfit called the "Alaska Independence Party," about which we blogged yesterday. News organizations and blogs are on this story, and found this quote from the Alaska Independence Party's founder: "I'm an Alaskan, not an American. I've got no use for America or her damned institutions." Gov. Who? might want to have an answer for why she was a member of that "party."

And speaking of answers, we would all be interested in St. John McBungle's explanation of why his campaign started serious vetting of Who? after her selection to be his running mate, and what he thinks the American people should make of his judgement and steadiness. In the most important decision in his campaign, he was impulsive, shallow and arrogant, by passing over many more qualified candidates. Maybe McBungle wasn't vetted enough either.
