Sarah Palin: Cheney's hit on me is "a shame"

Sarah Palin, when asked to comment last night on Dick Cheney's claim that she didn't have the experience necessary to be vice-president in 2008.

The first sentence tells you all you need to know.

"Seeing as how Dick -- excuse me, Vice-President Cheney -- never misfires, then evidently he's quite convinced that he had evidently read about me by the mainstream media having been written what I believe is a fast narrative over the last four years, evidently Dick Cheney believed that stuff, and that's a shame."

She then went on to give a passionate defense of her decision to accept the vice-presidential nomination, arguing that it was a a big political risk for her but, nevertheless, the honorable thing to do.
