Palin causes embarassment again

It seems that there is no limit to the embarrassment that Sarah Palin can create for the Republican party at the moment.

Her most recent controversy revealed that she had abused her power as Alaska's Governor by sacking a senior state official, over a family feud.

Then yesterday, a new video was posted on YouTube which was a dedication to all the ridiculous things Palin has said since she became vice-presidential nominee for the election.

What really drew my attention was when she was unable to name any Supreme Court decision that had ever taken place, other than Roe v Wade.

She is expected to know many cases having been Governor of one of the states of America but surely she could have thought of one to make herself look a little more educated.

I would think that the majority of Americans would know the Brown v Board of Education case, a landmark decision of the civil rights era that ended segregation within schools.

Palin would have been in her twenties at the time, so you would hope that she maybe would have known this or another obvious one.

I think at this moment in time we are lucky to be anything other than American.

If Obama wins the election he will reform the country but if McCain and his sidekick win, it will be an even scarier country to live in.

The thought that this woman could quite possibly become vice-president is absurd and it seems that Americans are starting to see this, but let's hope they do this before they cast their votes.
