Palin is a pretty sad case

We learned this morning that Iraqi officials are saying Senator Obama tried to make a secret deal with the Iraqi government and he apparently wanted this action delayed, some more strategy delayed, that would reduce troop numbers until the next president takes office.

Obama apparently tried to undermine our government's official efforts to reduce troops in Iraq. — AK Gov. Sarah Palin

These would appear to be serious charges — perhaps even of treason — despite the typically incoherent nature of the first paragraph.

And where did Palin come up with these allegations? From the Washington Times, which in turn relied on some misbegotten fantasies that appeared earlier in the New York Post, long since debunked by everyone present during the original discussions.

And yet we're advised that it's unlikely the absolute nadir of Palin-McCain campaign desperation has quite been achieved.
