Palin and Newt on Obama's Nuclear Posture Review

An excellent piece by Slate's Fred Kaplan, who sums it all up, wonderfully:

What's really going on is this: The Republicans are looking for any excuse to lambaste anything that this president says or does. You'd think matters of national security might be exempt from this election strategy, but apparently you'd be wrong.

And that they'd trumpet (courtesy of Sean Hannity and Fox News) such a non-entity as Sarah Palin for wisdom on foreign policy (or,for that matter, on anything else) tells me all I need to know about the hard times upon which the "Grand Ole Party" has fallen.
