Of course, I wanted her to roam free because she was clearly incompetent (guess what...).
I don't think the Palin of the Gibson/Couric interviews could have bested the Republican establishment in Alaska, beat the incumbent governor by a healthy margin (8 points), and two years later still have 80% approval rating.

Obviously something needs to change--I'm not sure who or what is holding her back, but calling her incompetent based on a pair of 10-minute interviews is pretty stupid. Kathleen Parker is overreacting.
