That's certainly the standard rant (this time from the right), but the point still stands: Palin's bizarre rambling cannot be solely blamed on "editing that makes the interview lean". That's her.

One could definitely speculatively argue that perhaps the editing skewed the ratio of good-to-bad responses, but the ones we saw stand (or fall) on their own merits. If the McCain/Palin camp is using editing as their excuse for her poor performance, they fail.

I thought she looked an awful lot like Bush in them...
