I'm getting dizzy over here.

John McCainHunter at DKos points out that in addition to being a self-righteous JeebusBot with questionable parenting skills and a thirst for petty revenge, Sarah Palin may be a touch on the stupid side as well. Check this Q & A from Palin:

Q: Are you offended by the phrase "Under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance? Why or why not?

PALIN: Not on your life. If it was good enough for the founding fathers, its good enough for me and I’ll fight in defense of our Pledge of Allegiance.

Hunter helpfully points out the error here:

Fun facts: when John McCain's grandfather graduated from the Naval Academy in 1906, the Pledge of Allegiance, as first written, was only fourteen years old. It would not be made the official pledge of the United States until 1942, six years after John McCain himself was born.

When John McCain was born, the words "Under God" were not in the Pledge. They would not appear there until 1954, during McCain's senior year of high school.

This is beginning to get painful to watch. But fuck it, I'll watch anyway because it's entertaining as hell.
