Even the NEA has nice things to say about Gov. Sarah Palin

This is a surprise. The National Education Association is praising John McCain's pick of Gov. Sarah Palin as his vice presidential running mate.

The NEA almost always endorses Democrats, who in turn funnel tons of money into the failed public education system, prevent accountability for teachers' union members and fight against school choice measures.

But the NEA leadership, which is way too political for its own good, couldn't resist this dig:

"Her selection, however, has certainly taken the issue of experience off the table for political debate," says NEA President Reg Weaver.

Two thoughts about that remark. It's an admission by the NEA that Barack Obama doesn't have the qualifications to be president. Second, Palin is running for vice president, not president. That's an important distinction.
