I know I'm late getting to this:

The Palin aide, after first noting how "infuriating" it was for CBS to purportedly leak word about the gaffe, revealed that it came in response to a question about Supreme Court decisions.

After noting Roe vs. Wade, Palin was apparently unable to discuss any major court cases.

There was no verbal fumbling with this particular question as there was with some others, the aide said, but rather silence.

Leaving aside the whole unable-to-discuss horror (and, seriously, anyone who's watched more than one episode of "Law and Order" should at least get "Miranda"), her response makes me wonder if she'll employ the "total silence" technique in tomorrow's debate. And how much we'd have to pay Biden to do the same.

And then Palin can take herself off the ticket, to be replaced by John Cage.
