Odd frivolity at Powerine

Is Paul of Powerline—a sober fellow, and, morever, one who has been quietly sceptical of Sarah Palin’s qualifications from the start—becoming unhinged as a result of McCain’s defeat? He writes:

So if [Republican Sen. Ted Stevens] wins and then goes to jail, won’t Sarah Palin get to name a new Senator? It won’t happen, of course, but I’d love to see the reaction if she appointed Todd “First Dude” Palin.

Update (several hours later): Oh, I get it. Paul was making a joke, based on the former Alaska Gov. Murkowski’s nomination of his own daughter Lisa to be a U.S. senator. Rather dry humor on Paul’s part.
