On Fox News, Palin complains that in 2008 a candidate was not vetted properly. You don't say?

When Hannity tires to get Palin to finally endorse a candidate, she goes off into some bizarre folksy Wasilla colloquialism about "iron sharpens iron, steel sharpens steel." Which I take to mean that Palin sharpens her steak knives at home by banging them against each other and then bitching because they "don't cut good." I assume that Wasillians have not yet been introduced to the concept of the "whet stone."

(Gee without sharp implements at her disposal it makes one wonder how she managed to slay that thing on her head?)

However when pressed Palin does offer this confusing, and incredibly ironic, statement: "If I had to vote in South Carolina, in order to keep this thing going, I'd vote for Newt. And I would want this to continue, more debates, more vetting of candidates, because we know the mistake made, in our country, four years ago, was having a candidate that was not vetted to the degree that he should have been."

I'm sorry did she actually just say that?

Now obviously Palin is talking about President Obama, but I have to say that I have rarely seen such a clear case of projection in my LIFE. It is almost as if she is subconsciously admitting, to the Fox News viewers of all people, that SHE was an unworthy candidate which the MSM failed to vet properly. Gee ya think?

It is also rather interesting that Palin seems to admit here that choosing Newt, will not really help him to become the nominee, but that it will simply "keep this thing going."

However in literally the next breath (Which you can see in part two of the interview found here) Palin admits that the conservative candidates are splitting the vote and says that "the math is what it is, and at some point here, I don't think its time yet, but at some point here I believe that some of the more conservative candidates are going to have to decide, do they take one for the team? Are they going to step aside and pursue via one single conservative candidate that nomination as they go up against the front runner today?"

Clearly Palin simply refuses to admit that the nomination process, for all intents and purposes, is over, and that Romney has already secured the top spot on the ticket. She simply cannot accept the reality of the fact that the Teabaggers have fallen from favor and that a super-duper conservative nutjob will NOT gee the 2012 nominee.

Not really a surprise since she seems to have the same problem accepting that she and that angry old man from Arizona did not win the 2008 election. ("Facts make my head hurt!")

You know somewhere there is a psychiatrist with a huge therapy boner at the very idea of  getting inside this fractured psyche of Palin's to see just what makes it tick.

Personally I think that if you were to wrestle that road kill off her head, and open up that skull of her's, all that would pour out would be Fruit Loops laced with hate.

But what do I know, I'm not a psychiatrist.
