The Economist: Palin 'out of her depth'

Lord knows we've posted enough videos of Sarah Palin looking like a dipshit lately, but even The Economist - not what you'd call a liberal publication - calls a spade a spade:

I think what we're seeing is someone who thought she knew everything discover how little she actually knows, and it terrifies her...With Ms Couric, conversely, she rambled, she edited her own sentences recursively, she looked away from time to time, and her answers did not make sense—and I don't mean political sense; I mean they made no grammatical or logical sense.

There are some parts of America where vague answers to pointed questions will result in screams of "liberal media!" But can anyone argue that Palin gave no intelligent answers during the Couric interview? Being on the PTA does not qualify you to take on Russia, nor does being the governor of Alaska. And the economy? Not even McCain has his ducks in a row on that one. Friends, we're watching a flaming plane fall out of the sky right before our eyes. Only 40 more days...
