...but, when do you think that Sarah Palin was given her marching orders to bang on the William Ayers drum? It seems to me, that someone who until just recently was unaware of what the Vice President even does, would be unlikely to have known of Ayers and the Weather Underground, until she'd been coached on the matter.
No, I'm sure somewhere in the bowels of the McCain bunker, Mrs. Palin was coached on what her modus operandi of the next few weeks would be. I imagine the exchange was similar to...
Staffer:
Governor Palin, are you up for a little character assasination of Barack Obama?
Palin:
You betcha!
Staffer:
We'd like to have you make a series of allusions to...
Palin:
I'm afraid I can't do magic.
Staffer:
No, Governor, not illusions, a-llusions...
Palin:
You don't have to raise your voice, don'cha know?
Staffer:
I'm sorry, ma'am, I was out of line.
Palin:
Your reward is Heaven.
Staffer:
Okay, back on track, there was a homegrown, domestic terrorist named William Ayers...
Palin:
You mean like Tim McVeigh?
Staffer:
...no, Governor, Ayers did not attempt to murder children in a daycare center.
Palin:
Oh, bless his heart.
Staffer:
Yes ma'am. Well, Mr. Ayers has a very dubious connection to Senator Obama...
Palin:
They smoked marijuana together?
Staffer:
No, no, Jesus Christ, dubious not doobie!
Palin:
Don't blaspheme 'round me, mister.
Staffer:
No, of course not. Again I apologize. You see, Mr. Ayers was a member of the Weather Underground...
Palin:
They have weather underground?
...the conversation is cut short, as the poor staffer's head explodes.
