A Sullivan reader compares Sarah Palin's latest interview to a Ricky Gervais show. "You almost want to look away but can't. [I] half cover my eyes or wince, while laughing, as pathetically unqualified characters try to fake their way through life."
I just wanted to remind everybody that our own Francis Heaney helped coin a word for that feeling of acute embarrassment on behalf of someone else.
Also, when I first watched the amazing clip below, in which Palin sputters about Putin rearing his head in Alaska, it was preceded by an ad for a CBS sitcom called Worst Week that began with the voiceover, "Think you're having a bad week?"
Sheer poetry. CBS is in the tank.
