Waiter, There's A Moose Lady In My Mint Julep

Meanwhile a bit south of here in Louisville as the Thunder rolls and the Kentucky Derby museum reopens, America's Favorite Griftebrity, Sarah Palin, showed up to con talk to 16,000 at Freedom Hall for the Women of Joy evangelical conference.

Sarah Palin told a Freedom Hall crowd of about 16,000 Friday night that she was there to inspire women in their faith, not to talk politics.

But the 2008 Republican candidate for vice president acknowledged she couldn’t help but do the latter, saying politics “courses through my veins.”

And Palin — now a best-selling author and headline speaker at tea-party tax protests — did plenty of both in the course of her nearly hour-long talk at an evangelical Christian women’s conference.

“This nation needs you,” Palin told the women. “Know the facts. Stand for what’s right. Don’t be discouraged by the mocking of those who want to claim we just cling to our religion. I’m the first to admit — yeah, I do cling to my faith. That’s all I’ve got.”

Wait a minute.  All she's got is faith?  This woman's supposedly a dark horse candidate for President of the United States and all she's got is faith?

Since when has faith become the most important qualification for someone running for public office in this country?  No offense, but I think a President should bring a bit more to the table than "I quit as Governor because it was hard, I have a show on the Discovery Channel and I have faith."

That's not a resume for a President.  That's a resume for somebody who just got fired from Celebrity Apprentice.

And Sarah Palin telling anyone on Earth to "know the facts" is outright hysterical.
