Maureen Dowd of the NY Times compares Sarah Palin to Eliza Doolittle and raises some questions that Sarah Palin should have to answer in her column titled ...My Fair Veep

WASILLA, Alaska
For example:
• What kind of budget-cutter makes a show of getting rid of the state plane, then turns around and bills taxpayers for the travel of her husband and kids and sticks the state with a per-diem tab to stay in her own home?
• Why was Sarah for the Bridge to Nowhere before she was against the Bridge to Nowhere, and why was she for earmarks before she was against them? And doesn't all this make her just as big a flip-flopper as John Kerry?
• What kind of fiscal conservative raises taxes and increases budgets in both her jobs -- as mayor and as governor?
• When the phone rings at 3 a.m., will she call the Wasilla Assembly of God congregation and ask them to pray on a response, as she asked them to pray for a natural gas pipeline?
• Does she really think Adam, Eve, Satan and the dinosaurs mingled on the earth 5,000 years ago?
• Why put out a press release about her teenage daughter's pregnancy and then spend the next few days attacking the press for covering that press release?
• As Troopergate unfolds here -- an inquiry into whether Mrs. Palin inappropriately fired the commissioner of public safety for refusing to fire her ex-brother-in-law -- it raises this question: Who else is on her enemies list and what might she do with the FBI?
• Does she want a federal ban on trans fat in restaurants as well as on abortion and Harry Potter? And which books exactly would have landed on the literature bonfire if she had had her way with that Wasilla librarian?
• Does she talk in tongues or just eat caribou tongues?
• What does she have against polar bears?

That cartoon is sexist because Palin is kissing a pig. And leaving lipstick on it.
Seriously, those are great questions, but I doubt we will get straight answers to them.
I hope that we do. I think the Republicans didn't do a very good job of vetting Palin.
Their lack of leadership through the last 8 years leaves them with little right to another shot at the Presidency.
