Just when you thought the Republican circus couldn’t get more clownish, with John Boehner threatening to sue the President, comes Sarah Palin calling for Obama’s impeachment. “His unsecured border crisis is the last straw that makes the battered wife say, 'no mas,” she writes, wielding a not-so-subtle racial brickbat. “Because of Obama’s purposeful dereliction of duty an untold number of illegal immigrants will kick off their shoes and come on in.” This kind of trash talk may be good for Democrats (who are already using Iowa Senate candidate Joni Ernst’s January suggestion that Obama be impeached to cast her as an extremist aligned with Palin) but it’s bad for America. Isn’t it time for John McCain, who gave Palin the prominence she’s been riding ever since 2008, to publicly repudiate her?
