She’s just so…what’s the word? Irrepressible?
No, that’s not it.
Spontaneous?
Mmmmm…no, not that either.
Dumb?
THAT’S IT!!!
Sarah Palin told a customer at a Philadelphia restaurant on Saturday that the United States should “absolutely” launch cross-border attacks from Afghanistan into Pakistan in the event that it becomes necessary to “stop the terrorists from coming any further in,” a comment similar to the one John McCain condemned Barack Obama for making during last night’s presidential debate.
During Friday’s debate, Obama criticized the Bush administration for sending billions of dollars in aid to Pakistan without ridding the border region of terrorists.
“If the United States has al Qaeda, bin Laden, top-level lieutenants in our sights, and Pakistan is unable or unwilling to act, then we should take them out,” Obama added.
McCain fired back hard, arguing that newly elected Pakistani president Asif Ali Zardari has had his “hands full” and suggesting that Obama’s tough talk was naïve.
“You don’t say that out loud,” McCain said. “If you have to do things, you have to do things, and you work with the Pakistani government.”

Mr. Scoldy McGrumpyPants spent a fair amount of time at the debate on Friday chastising his pupil, li’l Barack O’KnowNuthin, for even thinking something like what Palin suggested, much less “say[ing] it out loud”.
I don’t know what your favorite part of the debate was but mine was where McCain yelled, “HEY! You kids! Get the hell off my lawn!!!”
That was awesome.
I’m just sayin’…
