Short version: Shock jocks trashed. Palin laughed. Papers shouted gaffe.

Seriously though, it's just never in good taste for an elected official to laugh along when someone calls her cancer-surviving political foe "a cancer" and "a b****."

Late Update: No love lost here. Says the aggrieved party (who is a fellow Republican, as well as State Senate President) on Palin's nomination:

"She's not prepared to be governor. How can she be prepared to be vice president or president? Look at what she's done to this state. What would she do to the nation?"

Even Later Update: Reader BP points out that those same shock jocks hosted a "baby shower" fundraiser for Palin only two weeks ago.
