I guess Joe Klein agrees with me that the single most harmful thing a politician has done to our country since the invasion of Iraq was John McCain’s decision to put Sarah Palin on the ticket. The Stupid has metastasized, and we’re in for a world of hurt. We could do okay by replacing our 100 senators with 100 well-educated civilly-minded people off the street. But that’s not what the Republican Party is offering. They’re offering a slate of kooks, cranks, and crooks. Some are exceedingly stupid. Some of ridiculously ideological. Some are petty criminals. Some are all three. We aren’t just celebrating ignorance. We’re celebrating aggressive stupidity and a climate of lawlessness.
