Palin Has, Like, A Good Point on Deficits

Now that Sarah Palin is safely back in Alaska, I can’t help but love her, just a little.

The bad news for Republicans is that Palin thinks she might actually run for President some day:

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 ’12 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.

Please — enough with the plowing.

Palin did manage to point to a real failing of the Bush administration:

I think the Republican ticket represented too much of the status quo, too much of what had gone on in these last eight years, that Americans were kind of shaking their heads like going, wait a minute, how did we run up a $10 trillion debt in a Republican administration?

Her figure is correct, though of course we only reached that marker under Bush, who had a bit of help.

But I’m like, okay, at least the debt is still less than the GDP! I’m sure Our Savior Barack Obama will be more than happy to plow through that door.
