What's wrong with this picture? Let me count the ways

Sarah Palin to Greta Van Susteren:

I’m like, OK, God, if there is an open door for me somewhere, this is what I always pray, I’m like, don’t let me miss the open door. And if there is an open door in (2012) or four years later, and if it is something that is going to be good for my family, for my state, for my nation, an opportunity for me, then I’ll plow through that door."

First of all, any presidential candidate who sounds like a valley girl ("I'm like") should be immediately disqualified.

Second, any presidential candidate who openly talks about God speaking to them, or opening a door for them is delusional and should be immediately disqualified. Didn't Bush say God told him to smite the Iraqis?

And third, any presidential candidate who, in deciding whether or not to run, doesn't consider the good of the nation first, rather than third after the good of her family and the good of her state, should be immediately disqualified.

And finally, any presidential candidate who says "2012 or four years later," obviously doesn't know how to add single digits and should be immediately disqualified.

On the other hand, the more she talks, the more absurd a Sarah Palin candidacy becomes so her media blitz may be a good thing. Maybe God has opened the door to oblivion for her.
