"...all piety and no sense."

Isn't that the perfect description of Sarah Palin? It's part of one of my favorite passages from The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows. The passage goes on to describe how an irrational woman causes unnecessary and cruel terror in children with her inflammatory remarks as they prepare to be separated from their parents. The heroine of the novel responds like this:

"...she got a look on her that would turn the devil to stone, and then she slapped Adelaide right across the face - nice and sharp, so her head wobbled on her shoulders - and hauled her over to the door, shoved her out, and locked it."

Amen.
