This video has been around, most notably on the Huffington Post. This is Sarah Palin three short months ago.

Sorry if I’m doing so many political posts, but after the latest financial upheavals I’m getting very nervous about November. Today McCain flip-flopped from saying the economy is fundamentally strong to saying it’s in crisis. In a matter of hours he suddenly realized that things aren’t good. Bright boy.
My mom always used a tried and true expression from growing up during the recovery from the Great Depression and during WW2 rationing: “You don’t have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out!”. Sounds like our generation may be living that way if we’re not careful and sensible.
I like that comment alot by the very astute Prof. Jamie Raskin! Some of the thinking by the Religious Right is terrifylng!
I have no complaint, by the way, with Sarah Palin’s faith. But I don’t trust her to keep her oath in front of her faith. As constitutional law professor Jamie Raskin retorted to Republican Senator Nancy Jacobs:
When I saw the news about Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch last night, even I, with my limited understand of financial markets, knew this was very, very serious. Tom is sweating bullets because his OLD IRA used to be under AIG, but his company switched to another investor two years ago. He’s damn lucky.
