The scary thing is is that one of these fools is president.

Every politician makes verbal gaffes. Comes with the territory. Mikes and cameras are constantly in their grille. We live in a soundbyte age. Politicians who adhere to talking points strategy are far more likely to trip up when they go ad-lib.
Palin is particularly vulnerable in this regard.
I would like to see politicians of all stripes talk in full sentences instead of slogans. Sounds hokey I know, and sadly I'm likely to be proven wrong. I'd like to think that the electorate have longer attention spans than given credit for.
