Well I'm glad this takes advantage of her long, valuable experience with the VA and Veterans issues including.... well, um... how about.... um... OK, I got nothing.
My mom worked for the VA for 30 years or so. Daughter of a vet. DIL of a vet. Wife, sister, SIL, aunt (and probably more I don't know of) of a vet. And I wouldn't want her anywhere near that job.
Palin, OTOH, has executive experience and a proven record of being willing to break eggs if they need to be broken. If she cares about veterans (I've heard she knows some), she might not be a bad pick.
However, I've been saying Press Secretary for years. Yes, I hate the MSM that much.
