...who the other options were

[I have to admit that I would rather see a Sarah Palin in the rescue seat than any of the others -- Lieberman more a member of the Knesset than Senate, the Mormon noted for firing people to make his millions, and other assorted losers -- particularly our idiotic NYC mayor.

At the very least she may have some second thoughts about a Supreme Court most hostile to those with disabilities. Maybe her religion will pull her back from wars to helping people? Maybe not. She looks to be hubris (ego) ridden a la St. Augustine's notion of the roots of original sin. Spare us from these cults. They are extremely dangerous and she might turn out to be so, too, if she becomes President of the U.S.A. Ed Kent]

By GAIL COLLINS
Many people believe that Sarah Palin is a terrible choice
for a running mate. But you have to remember who the other
options were.
