I said much the same thing when I first heard about this a night or two ago. Why the heck would he need to jump on the bash Palin bandwagon?! He doesn’t think she’s been pummelled enough by the left? Geez, Mr. Cheney, I thought you were smart enough to focus on the real problems and demons in this country, and it ain’t Sarah Palin.
It is baffling. Cheney has been a politician for a long, long time, and his comment didn't reflect his political experience.
Unless his intention was to fire up the conservative base in support of Palin, then it really was a mis-fire.
