Please, for the love of all that is holy…

Whoever is moderating the VP debate next week, I beg of you to ask about evolution/creationism regarding man v. dinosaurs. Please. I’ll pay you to do it.
And I want to know- who? Who out there thinks this woman is qualified to be VP? Seriously. Because if you think she is wrong on this point (see below) you simply cannot vote for McCain/Palin. You just can’t. Can you?
The LA Times is reporting that:
Soon after Sarah Palin was elected mayor of the foothill town of Wasilla, Alaska, she startled a local music teacher by insisting in casual conversation that men and dinosaurs coexisted on an Earth created 6,000 years ago — about 65 million years after scientists say most dinosaurs became extinct — the teacher said.
After conducting a college band and watching Palin deliver a commencement address to a small group of home-schooled students in June 1997, Wasilla resident Philip Munger said, he asked the young mayor about her religious beliefs.
Palin told him that “dinosaurs and humans walked the Earth at the same time,” Munger said. When he asked her about prehistoric fossils and tracks dating back millions of years, Palin said “she had seen pictures of human footprints inside the tracks,” recalled Munger, who teaches music at the University of Alaska in Anchorage and has regularly criticized Palin in recent years on his liberal political blog, called Progressive Alaska.
The idea of a “young Earth” — that God created the Earth about 6,000 years ago, and dinosaurs and humans coexisted early on — is a popular strain of creationism.
Though in her race for governor she called for faith-based “intelligent design” to be taught along with evolution in Alaska’s schools, Gov. Palin has not sought to require it, state educators say.

Obama may not save the country, but McCain and Palin will almost certainly finish it off. With all due respect (that would be None at this point), if you’re planning to vote for McCain knowing what we now know about Palin, you are an embarrassment to human beings.
