Is this the pre-emptive shot in the wingnut war to expunge those non-believers from the Republican Party. What happened to Nicole Wallace's statement about doing her duty as a staffer? I'm willing to be these off-record tidbits come from her.
Can't name NAFTA members? Africa a country or continent?

The origin of the term is obscure; everyone talks about the duck pit, but nobody ever says where it is, what it is, or how the people destined for it will get there. Believed to be a Babylon 5 reference, however. Usage example: Aux duck pits, citoyens I found this at Orcinus: "Some liberal commenters, for instance, on certain threads I read have devised, satirically, a "duck pit" into which all conservative minions will be cast on the day of liberal reckoning, there to be nibbled to death by a thousand hungry ducks." If I remember correctly, it originated in comments at Atrios, as a response to violent threats by Right Wing trolls. Sometimes sillines and absurdity are are a good antidote for hatred.

Huh?
It sounds more like the war is to expunge the believers from the party if any of this is to be believed. Sounds to me like the GOP party elites are trying to pull her up before she takes deep root in the national party, if that hasn't already happened.
That said, if she hopes to be seriously considered for a ticket, again, she's going to have to hit the books, hard, because if you thought they were playing 'gotcha' with her, this time, they are going to make it a living hell for her over the coming years.
But, we've always been at war with Eastasia...
Damon,think you've nailed it. She's seen as dangerous to current
inside trackers and they are going to smash her.
The Repubs don't really have to worry about Alaska going Dem for the governorship (if the the vote for Stevens is any indicator), so they can throw her under the bus. Well, into the garbage truck might be a better metaphor.
Someone has to be the sacrificial lamb. There have to be sacrifices.
Africa is a continent?
Coulda sworn it was a union of 57 states. This whole clip sounds like petty back biting and gossip; designed to fill up the half hour of news. Anyone can (and many did) find dozens of reasons to hate Sarah Plain and tear her down. But for someone thrown into the midst of a Presidential campaign without having spent months (if not years) preparing for it and performing as she did, she was quite remarkable.
Reminds me of the fat, cigar smoking, linguine-eating sportswriter who does a feature criticizing Barry Bonds for hitting only .297 the previous season. What a joke. What ever else we think of these people, they are remarkable human beings with accomplishments each of us could barely dream of ourselves. The thing is over already. Let the curtain fall. Then let it rise again on a whole new drama.
