Ethics

Dumbass Quote of the Day

By Ed Brayton

Today's dumbass quote of the day comes from the dumbass of the month, Sarah Palin. Speaking to ABC News she said:

As to whether another pursuit for national office, as when she joined Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., in the race for the White House less than a year ago, would result in the same political blood sport, Palin said there was a difference between the White House and what she had experienced in Alaska. If she were in the White House, she said, the "department of law" would protect her from baseless ethical allegations.

"I think on a national level, your department of law there in the White House would look at some of the things that we've been charged with and automatically throw them out," she said.

You betcha. Like Rich Lowry, I too see starbursts when I see Palin speak too. But they're from banging my head against a wall and saying "how the hell did this person ever get in to a position of authority over anything other than a Dairy Queen?"
