Sarah Palin calls Nancy Pelosi a 'dingbat'

"Nancy Pelosi is a dingbat."

-- Sarah Palin, in an interview on Fox News.

http://politicalwire.com/archives/2012/06/30/bonus_quote_of_the_day.html#disqus_thread

I'm sorry I try not to post anything the Wasila hillbilly says, but the irony of the vapid, uninformed, ignorant Palin, who couldn't hack being Governor of Alaska so she resigned half way thru her first term--calling one of the most talented and accomplished women in politics a 'dingbat' is too delicious.

screaming about how Pelosi is an unpatriotic socialist who deserves to be impeached for her actions and words.

I cannot say this enough: Fuck Sarah Palin. She is the Kim Kardashian of politics. She has done nothing of note in her career besides being a failed half-term governor and one of the biggest VP busts of all-time. Now, she just shows up on TV and gives speeches and makes millions in the process. Fuck her.

The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than average. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their mistakes.

Actual competence may weaken self-confidence, as competent individuals may falsely assume that others have an equivalent understanding. As Kruger and Dunning conclude, "the miscalibration of the incompetent stems from an error about the self, whereas the miscalibration of the highly competent stems from an error about others"

Then again, he's a straight-A student who aces his TCAPs and could probably govern better (and for a full term) than Palin.
