Oh, my god.

Y'know...many of us on the left have been wondering with curious incredulity just when a prominent member of the Republican party would speak up with a realistic look at Sarah Palin. Now, we learn (from a new book) that in the days following her nomination:

"This woman is being put into a position she is not even remotely prepared for," he said. "She hasn't spent one day on the national level. Neither has her family. Let's wait and see how she looks five days out."

Who made this assesment with which no sane person could possibly disagree (and which days since have done nothing but confirm)?

Former President. George. W. Bush.
