I can't resist.

As Alaska Governor Sarah Palin fades - please, please, please - from the national spotlight, I can't resist one final turn of the screw as McCain campaign staffers start to spill the beans on the woman that die-hard conservatives just adore.

And so we hear that sweet Sarah could be quite spiteful and short-tempered.

Cited was her disastrous interview with Katy Couric; an interview that she refused to be prepped for and then became more pit bull than hockey mom when ripping campaign staff for not saving her from herself.

We also learn that Sarah couldn't quite grasp the concept that Africa is actually a continent.

Maybe that's because unlike Russia, she can't really see Africa from Alaska.

We find out Sarah had no clue about which countries created the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).

Okay, so Mexico and Canada are toughies, but couldn't she have at least guessed at the United States?

Anyway, sweet Sarah is now back on the tundra, talking about how she wants to help the news media become more credible and getting those expensive campaign clothes Republicans bought her packed up for charitable giving.

Gee, I hope she remembers that $800 designer purse her 7-year-old daughter got.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.
