Sarah Palin: Dumb and dumber
Jesus this Sarah Palin woman is dumb.
Not just politically dumb: Nah, the Republican choice for Vice President is just plain dumb and stupid. As my granddaddy used to say, what she doesn’t know would fill an encyclopedia.
Her stupidity surpasses even the inane reasoning of GOP Presidential candidate John McCain for picking the obscure and flaky Alaska governor as his running mate.
In the past, Palin has told the nation the President has the power to expand the role of the Vice President – something the President doesn’t have. She’s claimed she has foreign policy experience because, after all, Alaska is the state that’s closest to Russia.
But nothing in her growing volume of stupidity on display tops her answer to a third grader who wanted to know what a Vice President does.
From a television interview with KUSA in Colorado:
Q: Brandon Garcia wants to know, "What does the Vice President do?"
PALIN: That's something that Piper would ask me! ... They're in charge of the U.S. Senate so if they want to they can really get in there with the senators and make a lot of good policy changes that will make life better for Brandon and his family and his classroom.
Say what? The Vice President presides over sessions of the Senate and serves as the tie-breaking vote in case of a tie. That’s the only role the Constitution gives to the Vice President when it comes to the Senate.
In charge of the Senate? This no doubt comes as a surprise to Harry Reid, the majority leader of the Senate and the guy who’s really in charge.
Get in there with Senators and "make a lot of good policy changes?" They would laugh her out of the room.
In record time, Sarah Palin fell from darling of the McCain campaign to the goat who is now viewed by Americans as a bigger liability than George Bush. The Republican National Committee shelled out 150 grand to dress Palin up with shopping sprees to Saks and Neiman-Marcus but they couldn’t cover her inadequate brain with an expensive smock. She’s not just unqualified to be next in line to be President. She’s an illiterate political hack who will go down in history as the trademark of McCain’s failure as a Presidential candidate.
Palin is an idiot, but John McCain is a bigger idiot for picking her as his running mate.

Stupid is as stupid does.
Stupid is as stupid does. She managed to take her whole family on travels which were paid for by the citizens of Alaska. She just got herself a new $150,000 wardrobe. She has had so much publicity that her speaking fees will be astronomical after the election, at least until she proves to people that she really is stupid and really doesn't have a clue as to what is happening anywhere but between her legs.
She may be stupid, but she is now a millionaire, or will be very soon. Which of us smart asses out here can say that we did the same in a couple of months?
Barak, from what I read she
Barak, from what I read she was already a millionaire and dispite her sayin that she shops at WalMart and Target, after seeing what she did during her shopping sprees I have to wonder if she lied about that also. You betcha!
So you admire this dangerous
So you admire this dangerous dimwit because she has no compunction about abusing the powers of her office and because some right-wing whackos are throwing money at her? That's your idea of a success story?
I think you've just shown me why our nation is in such a bloody mess. There are a lot of shallow people out there who respect only money and power, and never mind how you obtain them.
There's this story in the Bible about the woes that befall the Isralites after they worshipped the Golden Calf. Maybe you should look it up.
Barak, as Jon Stewart said
Barak, as Jon Stewart said last nite on The Daily Show, what the entire Palin family has done proves that they are Grifters.

Trouble is, there are enough
Trouble is, there are enough stupid people out there who are stupid enough to vote for a President who was stupid enough to choose someone as stupid as her.
The stupids are on the march. Be afraid, be very afraid.
But Palin will amass those
But Palin will amass those riches at the cost of her vapid value system. I for one wouldn't care for that. And likely she will be another lottery winner: it comes and goes with the same fierce quickness.
In ten years she'll be some waitress in Wasilla, overweight and divorced, living off partial government subsidies.
Fortunately, more and more
Fortunately, more and more people are now learning just how much Ms. Palin does not know.
The only question remaining is if ENOUGH people who know that she does not know also know enough to vote against her.
That is, usually, when people make outlandish claims, without evidence, we stop listening to them -- except on matters of religion and politics.
I received an e-mail this
I received an e-mail this morning stating that she has a higher security clearance than both Democratic hopefuls.
This authority supposedly stems from her position as Commander of the 49th missile battalion in Alaska.
Can this be possible?
The thought of her finger being close to the buttons of anything but a blender gives me fright.
The thought of her finger
Ditto!
I wouldn't trust her to run

Remember, Sarah, its good practice to keep the lid on and your hands out of the blender while it is running!

Well her running certainly is a blunder
I've received emails stating
I've received emails stating that Barack Obama's past association with terrorists would make him the only president that could NOT GET a security clearance.
When you start from a position of absolute absurdity,
it requires an impossible amount of energy to flail the pools of bulla-sheista away from you in order to prevent drowning.
Imagine...a multi-billion dollar Homeland Security apparatus, filled with the requisite Homeland Security apparatchiks, the ones who crow gleefully about how they've kept us safe and secure these past seven years, and yet they are incapable of detecting a terrorist mole looming on the horizon in full public view with a ticket for the White House.
This is funnier than Inspector Clouseau trying to explain that "there iss a bimb in his ryeeuum", except that it's not funny. It's the alternate reality being imposed on
a population most of which whose only brush with terrorism is endless episodes of "24" on Fox.
And that majority population expects the rest of us to believe...if only we would believe!

Jeff, those E-mails are,
Jeff, those E-mails are, like you say, total BS, and not even good BS at that. The worldview of some of the extreme wing nut right is such that they really believe the BS fed to them by McCain/Palin.
timr in Occupied South TX
Oh yeah. And Ms. PALIN has
Oh yeah.
And Ms. PALIN has NEVER paled around with TERRORISTS? BULL. Who and WHAT do you think Palin's husband's association with JOE VOGLER, founder of the ALSAKAN INDEPENDENCE PARTY was? This dork was thinking Alaska should SECEDE from the United States!!! This same "citizen" remarked, "The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my "hatred" of the American government, and I won't be buried under their DAMN FLAG." Plus this NON-RADICAL also spouted, "I'm an Alaskan, not an American. I've got no use for America and her damn institutions." Gee Jeff, kinda SOUNDS like a TERRORIST WHO WOULD TARGET THEIR OWN COUNTRY TO ME, not to mention wanting to RIP ONE OF THE STARS OFF THE AMERICAN FLAG. And Ms. Palin SPOKE AT THE INDEPENDENT'S POLITICAL CONVENTION RAVING ABOUT WHAT A GREAT JOB THEY WERE DOING. Association? I'd kinda say YEAH and a little MORE. Oh yeah, then there's the TOTALLY non-violent and NON-RADICAL "minister" who visited Palin's WASILLA ASSEMBLY OF GOD CHURCH, probably twice (just as many times as Barack Obama has MET William Ayers), Pastor THOMAS MOOSIE, from Kenya. This guy systematically got the law and several HUNDRED people to run a woman out of a suburb of Nairobi for being a "witch" and blaming this woman for ALL the local crime in the area. The "law" shot the woman's snake for Christ's sake and almost her, but with the help of Moosie, they just made her to leave. MIRACULOUSLY, crime went down. GEE, I WONDER WHY? Sounds like TERRORISM to me, but HEY let's not mince words here. YOU NEED TO WATCH THIS:

Who knows Jeff, you JUST MIGHT LEARN SOMETHING.
bryan, no, I do not believe
bryan, no, I do not believe that she has any kind of FEDERAL security clearance. Her being commander of the AK NG means nothing as far as the feds go. Re; 49th Missile Batt. Ahhh, as far as I know, this is meaningless. I spent 6 years in the Army, first in HAWK, then IHAWK, then Patriot Anti aircraft missile systems. If this 49th missile batt existed it should be something like the 49th ADA missile batt.IOW, there should be some kind of identifier in the title, besides I do not believe that there is any missile unit of any kind in any state NG. To the best of my knowledge, yes, out of date somewhat since I was in the Army from 74 to 80, but still. Also could not be an AF designation as they are identified by Squadron and Wing(yes I spent 6 years in the AF also 68 to74) So my belief is that the E mail you are refering to is a lie. BTW, both Dem Senators(along with McCain) have(again to the best of my knowledge, about 30 years out of date) Top Secret clearances.-at least they did back in the 70s and I do not believe it has changed since.
I should have added the
I should have added the message came from my Wifes right leaning cousin and I begged her not to send anymore Rep talking points.
I would think a Senator would have a higher clearance than a gov.Thanks for the reply Timr.
Even Stevie Wonder can see
Even Stevie Wonder can see she's totally stupid! Talk about constitutionally illiterate! The more she speaks, the more I personally envision duct tape around her mouth.
She is such an embarrassment to their campaign and the RNC.

Well THAT'S a new form of bondage, but rather counterproductive for McCain.

Well said, Doug, but I think one correction is in order. Last time I looked, it was Mitch McConnell setting the agenda in the Senate, not the emasculated Senate Majority Leader! You are correct in theory, but in practice . . .
Unfortunately, the
Unfortunately, the partisanship on their side don't care how dumb she is about the government. (In fairness, Dems can be just as guilty.) Republican males only seem to be thinking with their other head since she makes them "sit up a little straighter" every time she winked at them during the VP debate. I'm no Hillary supporter (by a long shot) but, I'd take her over Palin any day of the week, month, and year.
Why is it we want better doctors treating us, better athletes playing on our team, the best of everything in life for us? But, when it comes to our elected officials we want someone who is just like us. Heaven forbid they be better than us. How elitist!! My God what a narcissistic view we have developed of ourselves in this society.

I wish the talking heads in
I wish the talking heads in the visual media had but 1/10 of your spine, Doug!
Any way, my ex-wife, ever-shrewd, observed something in the Vice-Presidential debate that has not been commented on. When Gwen Eiffel asked Palin & Biden "What is your 'Achilles Heel'"?, it was obvious that our Ms. Palin has no idea - literally or figuratively - what an Achilles Heel is.
Just how stupid is that!
So Ms Palin takes some
So Ms Palin takes some liberties with the rigors of the Constitution whilst being "interviewed" by a 3rd grader and drives Doug Thompson barking mad? Where was barking Doug when Senator, Candidate for VPOTUS and Constitutional Law instructor Joseph Biden[D-DE] when he delivered himself of this gaffe'?:
Next thing you know, Joe Biden will be challenging Sarah Palin to release her IQ score. ROTFLMAO.
Hill Country Weisenheimer
Explain why this is a gaffe.
Explain why this is a gaffe.
Because as a teacher of
Because as a teacher of Constitutional Law [Widener University], Senator Biden ought to know Article I of the Constitution of the United States defines the Legislative Branch of the government of the US of A.
Hill Country Weisenheimer
No need to release her IQ
No need to release her IQ scores, we know that it's about the same as room temperature. But why hasn't she released her medical records? What's being hidden there?
Article 1, sec.3, paragraph
Article 1, sec.3, paragraph 4 is what Biden was referring to. That and the following paragraph (4) are the only references to duties or roles of the VP in the Senate.
So sorry, no gaffe for Biden... but one for you...
HCW. If you remember it was
HCW. If you remember it was also during that same VP debate, when Palin, in response to the question: "What does the VP do?" Came up with the same answer that she gave in response to the 3rd grader. Point, she also, if you look at video of that answer(its on utube)spoke like she almost always does when she is not reading a speech, like she is talking to a very young child. My wife and I raised 4 kids, in their entire lives I never talked down to them,never used the word patterns like she uses to speak to a child, I spoke to them as if they were reasoning human beings and they responded as such. I think that she has spent way too much time over the years talking down"simplifying" her speech to children and those same speech patterns carry across when she talks without a script. Who will ever forget her comment during the VP debate: And a big shout out to......., This, in a very serious adult setting?!?
Having devoted over 30 years
Having devoted over 30 years of my life to the practice of psychology, I was shocked to discover the actual extent of Sarah Palin's diminished intellect, although hardly surprised she is developmentally challenged. Her 83 full scale Wechsler I.Q. reported in her Wasilla High School records was labeled Dull Normal at that time and ,in fact, 83 was just slightly above the range labeled Borderline Retarded ( 70-80 I.Q. ). Her SAT scores were also similarly deficient,thus serving to confirm her sub-normal I.Q
In fact, Sarah's resume reveals similar deficiencies in most every area of her life; 2.2 high school grade average, dropping out of college 5 times before finally receiving a degree after six years from the fifth college she attended,marrying an Alaska secessionist, supporting Kenyan witch doctors; corrupt,vindictive abuses of power during her mayorship and current governorship , erratic beliefs regarding the earth being but 6000 years old and Jesus co-existing with dinosaurs,etc.etc,etc.
The fact John McCain was so instantly captivated by her undoubtedly speaks to his having graduated 894th of 899 in his class and later having " lost " 5 aircraft he was piloting during his naval aviation career. " Birds of a feather flock together ", " it takes one to know one ", etc, etc, etc.
