The progress of evolution from President Washington to President Grant was alone evidence to upset Darwin.

Palin was a political Hail Mary a long bomb in the closing minutes of a game that John McCain and Co. were certain to lose. They didn't care if she had the policy or political or emotional capacity to serve as vice president let alone president. They were willing to drive the country off a cliff if that's what it took to win.

Can anyone understand how it is to have lived in the White House and then suddenly to be living alone as the President's widow?
