Palin before she was Palin

I blundered into this interview that ran on MTV back around Super Tuesday with the babe-a-licious governor of Alaska and found myself more convinced than ever that the purpose of the McCain handlers is to ruin her career by squeezing this round peg into a square hole. Pay careful attention to the last 15 seconds.

Of the four members of the major party tickers, Gov. Palin is the only one who seems remotely interested in principles like those that led folks to found a new nation in these parts back in the late 18th century. No wonder powerful people want her crushed.

UPDATE: And just to clarify, I post this as an interesting curio, not out of any sense of support.
