Leftbloggers are enjoying a moment of ungracious glee at the spectacle of Sarah Palin as she seems to melt under the hot lights (link). I suppose some of this was inevitable, and predictable: to anybody who paid attention, it is clear that she always was an empty (pant)suit and there's nothing like $37-a-barrel oil to bring out the warts and wrinkles.
But I wouldn't be in too much of a hurry to consign her to the shelf. Recall there is an almost total disconnect between public persona and actual capacity to govern. It's entirely possible that Sarah could find herself (a) chased out of office on a 35-percent vote; and (b) nonetheless remain the darling of Fox News and the rubber chicken circuit. Who knows, we maybe looking at the first Lady Limbaugh; at least there should be room for her in the club with this guy or this guy.
