Wow Re: You knew this had to happen eventually

Better to be a rich kook and a quitter than just a kook and a quitter.

Heilemann and Halperin write: "Palin couldn't explain why North Korea and South Korea were separate nations. She didn't know what the Fed [the Federal Reserve] did. Asked who attacked America on 9/11, she suggested several times that it was Saddam Hussein. Asked to identify the enemy that her son would be fighting in Iraq, she drew a blank. Later, on the plane, Palin said to her team: 'I wish I'd paid more attention to this stuff'."

Default Re: You knew this had to happen eventually

I saw this last night and I have to admit my first reaction was "What a perfect fit".

I give Palin the benefit of the doubt on the issues she had trouble with during the election. After all, she was far removed from most of these issues, both physically and politically, and had no reason to be "up" on the latest topics - until she got chosen out of the blue by McCain and Crew to be the VP candidate. Then she was given almost no time at all to become informed on these issues before being thrown into the debates and the public eye.

I do follow these issues somewhat closely, but I would probably look as foolish as she did if I were put in the same situation.

Now that she has had more time - and reason - to become informed on political topics, we'll see if she has improved on her ability to address these issues more intelligently and knowledgeably.

Of course, her validity is crippled immediately by her chosen venue, but I there is no doubt it is the best match for her political views.

How perfect -- send an abject idiot like Caribou Barbie to Faux to join all the other abject f'n retard mouth breathing full of fail airhead embarrassment to America f'n stupid idiots on Faux.

That's my reserved opinion, of course.

I don't see the problem, your TV remote has a channel changer and an on/off switch.

Problem is when a person portrays themselves a public leader, they open themselves to public accountability. She's been out electioneering recently, so I'm calling fair game.

Not to mention LAST YEAR she was almost one(old) beating heart away from POTUS.

Did not know what "The Fed" is or does!?!

I'd rather have a bunch of socialist muslim bankers running the show than a moron!


I guess she's an "entertainer" now, so gets that free pass for scrutiny like every other talking "news" ego.
