Frankly, Palin isn't anywhere near as scary as Dick Cheney, nor is she likely to have as much effect on the political process as he has had. Her mouth only moves when the hand up her back tells her to talk. The problem is, the hand up her back is the same hand up Bush's back. I rather boggled a bit when she made that comment about declaring war on Russia...with what and from where? There's a brownie troupe in Torrance that hasn't been deployed yet.
