Post Turtles, Foreign Policy, Sarah Palin, and the 'Judgment' of John McCain

I received the following email 'joke' yesterday. Below the 'joke' I've posted a video clip of Sarah Palin discussing her 'foreign policy experience' with Katie Couric on CBS News. After watching this clip, go look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself: Does McCain possess the necessary wisdom and judgment to lead this country? Did you keep a straight face? - zjm

"While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75-year-old Texas rancher whose
hand had been caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck
up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to
Sarah Palin and her bid to be a heartbeat away from being President.

The old rancher said, "Well, ya know, Palin is a post turtle."

Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a post
turtle was.

The old rancher said, "When you're driving down a country road and
you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a post turtle."

The old rancher saw a puzzled look on the doctor's face, so he
continued to explain. "You know she didn't get up there by herself,
she doesn't belong up there, she doesn't know what to do while she is up
there, and you just wonder what kind of dumb ass put her up there to
begin with."
