And the Swedish Bikini Team

Once again The Republican Party seems bent on proving to the world that they are tone-deaf morons. What genius decided that Governor Palin's experience commanding the Alaskan National Guard constitutes a good talking point? It just plain sounds funny, like the Jamaican Bobsled Team.
Rather than give up on this boneheaded line, they have decided to double-down on it, arguing that The Alaskan National Guard is so integral to our Nation's defense capability that it's a wonder Palin isn't regularly briefed by the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
