The Ambitious "Maverick"


Frank Rich's column in this morning's New York Times is a chilling review of Gov. Who?'s overwhelming ambition and cluelessness. With McAncient's health a rising concern (he won't allow his medical - - or mental health - - records to be examined in detail), no one discounts the real possibility that he could die in office. Someone who was mayor of a town of 8,000 in Alaska only 22 months ago has convinced herself that she could be President from day one, and her abundance of ambition should worry everyone. But the wingnuts love it. They're willing to ignore her complete unpreparedness, her sloppy thought process, and her running of the Governor's office to reward friends and punish enemies.

"Country First". Riiiiiight.
