Eagleburger Blisters Palin: "Of Course" She's Not Ready

Guess McCain didn't consult with any of his 5 secretary of state endorsers before selecting Palin. He so proudly mentioned them in his MTP appearance ... well, almost all of them except George Schultz. So it must be a bit of a surprise to him that Larry Eagleburger said this about Sarah Palin:

The remarks took place during an interview on National Public Radio that was, ironically, billed as "making the case" for a McCain presidency. Asked by the host whether Palin could step in during a time of crisis, Eagleburger reverted to sarcasm before leveling the harsh blow.

"It is a very good question," he said, pausing a few seconds, then adding with a chuckle: "I'm being facetious here. Look, of course not."
