so rare...and yet so scary

It's so rare a politician can simultaneously do the following in 120 characters or less:

1. plug her book
2. display her ignorance
3. manage to GAIN support

But I'm guessing Palin's latest "tweet" does just that. First, I find it ridiculous the most we know about what a possible Presidential candidate thinks is what she can fit into 120 characters or less. But that's beside the point. What is "on point" is her use of the word "treason" in reference to someone who isn't American posting something on a non-American hosted website.

Do I agree with the publican? No. Is it treasonous? Not unless you're referring to the actual release of the documents by the American 22 yr old "real American" Soldier who stole them. If, however, she is referring to the recent publishing of the documents, then no, it is not treasonous by any understanding of the word.

She does manage to dilute a complex situation into a completely unrecognizable and artificial simile as per usual, while leaving out details which would make even her contrived parallel false. When saying she "stopped" the leak of her book, what she really did was post-facto get websites to remove leaked portions. So, her book WAS still leaked, the only difference is it was leaked by people who operate within the US system so she had recourse to stop them.

Beside the point, however, as people who love her love her precisely BECAUSE she's so simple and ignorant. Pathetic...but scary at the same time.

I guess I'm to believe by her tweets that she'd have stopped the economic crisis by cutting taxes, stopped the oil spill by somehow stopping the flow herself, stopped the Israeli/Palestinian crisis by hastening the second coming, stood up to the "lamestream" biased media by only appearing on FOX News where she's a paid commentator and also somehow stopped the wikileaks fiasco by charging a foreigner with treason. It all stands to reason in bizzaro-world though.
