VP Debate: 2 Big Dangers

Of all the stuff Palin said in the debate, I thought two of her most dangerous comments were:

1. A vow to basically extend Cheney's sinister interpretation of and power grab for the vice presidency by using the office to somehow bully congress. (Thank you, Joe, for pointing out the historical insanity here.)

and,
2. She was wrong on everything about the biggest challenge facing the next administration (other than the fiscal crisis), Afghanistan. The thing that makes me sure she doesn't know anything about this war was that she said we need to restore the infrastructure and civil society in Afghanistan as though it would not be harder to do this than it has been in Iraq, a country that has, by contrast to Afghanistan, had a government and infrastructure at some point in the past century.
