Schadenfreude

I saw this in the New York Times today. It is an article about McCain aides commenting on Sarah Palin's conduct during the campaign:

By the end of the week, their complaints had escalated considerably, with Fox News quoting unnamed McCain campaign officials as saying that Ms. Palin had not known that Africa was a continent, not a country, and claiming that she did not know which countries were covered by the North American Free Trade Agreement.

Ms. Palin told reporters in Alaska that the anonymous criticism was "cowardly," and that she had discussed the campaign's position on Nafta at her debate prep sessions.

"I remember having a discussion with a couple of debate preppers," she said. "So if it came from one of those debate preppers, you know, that's curious. But having a discussion about Nafta — not, 'Oh my goodness, I don't know who is a part of Nafta.' "

"So, no, I think that if there are allegations based on questions or comments that I made in debate prep about Nafta, and about the continent versus the country when we talk about Africa there, then those were taken out of context," Ms. Palin said. "And that's cruel and it's mean-spirited, it's immature, it's unprofessional, and those guys are jerks, if they came away with it taking things out of context and then tried to spread something on national news. It is not fair and not right." —New York Times

This is the woman who sneeringly called Barack Obama a Socialist after he made an off hand comment he made about "spreading the wealth around".

This is the woman who accused Barack Obama of "palling around with terrorists", because he had a passing acquaintance with Bill Ayers.

This is the woman who, when crowds at her rallies called for the assassination of her opponent, just stood there smiling and winking.

Sarah Palin... Boo Hoo
