Still Waiting for a Explanation

Start your day with TPM.

Sarah Palin’s rambling and incoherent late Friday (east coast time) announcement went so poorly that she invited the networks out for a series of follow-up interviews that were taped yesterday and run this morning. We’ve pulled the highlights (she’s in waders). Watch.

Late Update: TPM Reader RF feeling snarky today:

It’s so inspiring to watch Sarah sacrificing herself so she can go fishing with her family. I bet this is exactly what JFK meant when he asked us what we could do for our country. I wish I could be so selfless. I mean, this is even more awe inspiring than President Bush giving up golf.

Come to think of it, this is about par for the course for Republicans sacrificing for the greater good. Remember Mitt’s kids foregoing serving in the military to sacrifice themselves by driving around with their dad campaigning? Rush Limbaugh is sacrificing by giving up his addiction to illegal pain pills.

If you want to have some fun with it, you could easily put together a ‘Top Ten Sacrifices’ list!
