another republican agrees with common sense

Ex-chief diplomat says Palin not ready for top job

WASHINGTON – A former secretary of state and supporter of Republican presidential nominee John McCain says that McCain's running mate, Sarah Palin, isn't up to the task of taking over the presidency in a crisis but could become "adequate" if not "a genius in the job."

Eagleburger, who was secretary of state under President George H.W. Bush, has been cited frequently by McCain as one of several seasoned diplomats and former Cabinet members who back his presidential bid. McCain has pointed to them when asked about former Secretary of State Colin Powell's decision to endorse Democrat Barack Obama.

Asked Thursday on National Public Radio if he thought Palin would be ready to take over in a crisis, Eagleburger said, "Of course not."

"Of course not" but she "could become adequate"?!
Wow! That's a ringing endorsement from one of the people that McCain claims as endorsing him!

Do we really want someone as VP who has to work to be "adequate"?!?
