Watch: Sarah Palin revises kid’s book “Green Eggs and Ham” for an enthralled CPAC crowd | The Raw Story

I don't know what is scarier, the fact that she was close to being one non-beat of the heart away from having her finger on "the button" or that she is considered part of the "intellectual party of ideas."

I do know I am glad that close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

I do know that I have no words to describe what transpired, but Charles P. Pierce, in his piece "CPAC Bonus Saturday -- The Princess In Excelsis" sums up quite well Palin's overall contributions to the world:

Yesterday she gave a wildly received speech to ring down the curtain at CPAC. The applause, as far as I know, may still be going on. It was as singularly embarrassing a public address as any allegedly sentient primate ever has delivered. It was a disgrace to politics, to rhetoric, to the English language, and to seventh-grade slam books everywhere.

She is the living representation of the infantilization of American politics, a poisonous Grimm Sister telling toxic fairy tales to audiences drunk on fear, and hate and nonsense. She respects no standards but her own. She is in perpetual tantrum, railing against her betters, which is practically everyone, and volunteering for the job of avatar to the country's reckless vandal of a political Id. It was the address of a malignant child delivered to an audience of malignant children. If you applauded, you're an idiot and I feel sorry for you.

And Sarah, you may want to learn to finish what you start. Being a half-term Governor might be okay in your mind, but reading half of a children's book and missing the point makes you look, stupid.

“I do so likegreen eggs and ham. Thank you. Thank you. Sam-I-Am”:
