Stating the obvious about Sarah Palin

By Michael J.W. Stickings

Occasionally, every once in a while, Tony La Russa fan club president George Will gets it right. Even if getting it right amounts merely to stating the obvious:

Famed conservative columnist George Will told a gathering of Senate aides on Monday that Gov. Sarah Palin is "obviously" not prepared to assume the presidency if necessary, two event attendees told the Huffington Post.

Appearing at a Senate Press Secretaries Association reception at the Cornerstone Government Affairs office, Will offered a harsh assessment of John McCain's running mate.

Palin is "obviously not qualified to be President," he remarked, describing her interview on CBS Evening News with Katie Couric as a "disaster."

Genius.
