I think the McCain campaign was so busy vetting Sarah Palin that they neglected to vet tonight’s terrible, awful, tedious speeches. Ridge, undoubtedly a good friend, is someone we should be very grateful not to have on our ticket. Snore. And Cindy — lovely, elegant and clearly big-hearted, should not be out there this long. It’s painful. Motherhood and apple pie are great, but how much can we listen to? And why didn’t someone who understands that a speech can’t just wander all over the place, edit this? Can Rudy go again?
