One That Worries Me...

...about the possibility of President Palin is not just that she'd have to go toe to toe with, say, Vladimir Putin, but that she'd inherit McCain's batshit crazy State and Defense departments, and she'd be completely dependent on them and probably as unable to control them as Rice has been in the Bush White House. It seems highly unlikely that she has her own foreign policy people to fall back on. Somehow a having a rash, warmongering staff running completely out of control on its own seems even scarier than, well, a rash, warmongering president (with a likeminded staff). Either way, we'd be in trouble.
