Woodwind Players For Palin!

While we're wading a ways from the sharky waters of actual political commentary by piling on Sarah Palin: Via Andrew Sullivan, here's video evidence that she has, if not Vice Presidential qualifications, a talent:



Sullivan is a center-right commentator whose blog I've been reading much more often these days because he is seriously, amusingly, justifiably freaking out about Palin's candidacy. His posts from the past several weeks make a good summary of the real problems with her politics, credentials, and campaign. This... This just brings back unbidden memories of so many middle- and high-school woodwind instrument recitals and band concerts for me.

(That eighth-note passage was rushed, Ms. Heath! Subdivide in your head!)

Give her credit for memorizing the piece, anyway. Love the MC's shout out to Sir James Galway, too; that's middlebrow-core.

Biden's seriously going to have a tough time in the talent portion of this debate. He'd better know like all the sign-language motions for "We Are the World" or something.

Bill Clinton would have had a somewhat easier time with it.
