Palin Sketch: Comedy imitates life . . . . for real!

If you haven't seen this sketch (click the image to check out what CNN is saying about it), it's plain out hilarious.

More hilarious however is how very, very easy it was to mock this VP candidate, even using the words that she said in her interviews with Katie Couric.

That was also the very, very sad part. To be able to quote this woman, not have to edit her lines at all, in an effort to make a joke of it really saddens me.

My question is, do the American women feel this is the person you want representing you and your role in making this country what it is today?

I mean, undoubtedly, women have been the backbone support system of all our great leaders. Not to ignore being great leaders themselves. And the first opportunity for female representation in one of the highest offices and positions not of our country but in the World, and Palin is who we are presented with?

Now let me be clear. The woman may be very smart. She is a Governor. However, you probably sit next to someone at work who is a brilliant mind yet you wouldn't trust them with the keys to your car, let alone the keys to your country.

So I ask Ladies: Are you proud of who could potentially be representing not just our country but your gender? Are her shortcomings something we should ignore?
