McCain Foreign Policy Surrogate Says Palin's Not Ready

Nico Pitney and Sam Stein report that former Secretary of State Larry Eagleburger, one of John McCain's key foreign policy surrogates, now says Sarah Palin isn't ready to take over the presidency should anything happen to McCain, adding that he would "of course not" be comfortable with her as president.

Eagleburger offered his remarks during an interview on NPR yesterday. Presumably McCain will throw Eagleburger under the bus, but it's worth remembering that just last Sunday McCain was proudly touting Eagleburger's support, along with that of four other Republican secretaries of state. Problem is, he couldn't quite remember one of their names, leading to a hilarious sequence of McCain confusion on live television.
