Powell and Palin

So Palin is suffering.
Saturday Night Live is crucifying her.
The sketches themselves have been drawing in an audience of 8.3 million, and 9.3 million online. For Tiny Fey the mimicry has been all too easy, a 'hockey Mom,' an 'outsider.' But hey, she was brave, and desperate to appear on the show.

Perhaps it is Tina Fey who has weekly publicised how ill equipped for presidency Palin is, but it has been the woman herself who has torpedoed her own public image in a series of terrible interviews. See here.

And now, Colin Powell, the only man to walk out of the Bush presidency with some decency intact* agrees. He condemned McCain for attacking Obama's past, emphasising a link with the terrorist Bill Ayres. Powell said that Obama was a 'transformational figure...a new generation coming' where McCain was 'narrow and unsure.'
