In the well-crafted speech she polished her narrative, told jokes, and taunted Obama like a smarmy schoolmarm. She is a rightwing, religious ideologue who has a natural TVQ. She has put the republican party line in a package wrapped it with a bow and delivered it with a spunky smile. Be afraid; be very afraid because this woman is dangerous.

Never mind that she misrepresented Obama’s accomplishments and lied about her own. We underestimate her at our peril.
