...almost every move she has made related to Troopergate since she was named McCain's running mate has damaged her credibility and standing. Most recently the shifting public explanations for why Monegan was fired have looked shaky - at one point, it was that they didn't share the same general law enforcement priorities, at another it was that he hadn't done enough to crack down on rural bootlegging, and most recently it was for his unauthorized travel to Washington to lobby for federal dollars.

Aging and angry John McCain picks young Sarah Palin, ambitious but inexperienced and not remotely qualified for a position that demands brave yet sensible world leadership. In South Africa, our precious 15-year-old democracy is dominated by a single party that has chosen a leader with no governing track record, intent on quashing a state case against him for fraud. This same government, notes...
