Seriously, I’m going to just stop talking about her (after this post).
She’s completely derailled what was an interesting presidential campaign, made it petty and predictable, and completely polarized the country along the same boring lines we had 4 years ago. Being a subscriber to Hanlon’s Razor, and with no clear Rovian evil genius strategist on the McCain team, I think her appointment was an act of desparation rather than evil genius. Still, just talking about her plays to McCain’s favor, so I’m stopping!
Speaking of adages, I found this amusing:

which to me signals sheer desperation, rather than stupidity (although quoting Forrest Gump, “Stupid is as stupid does”).
