She's not stupid. She intensely ambitious and intellectually incurious. Like Bush.

Things that make this clear to me:

Her answer on the questionnaire about the Pledge - "If it's good enough for the Founding Fathers..."

Her recent admission that she didn't know much about Iraq. This despite the fact that she has been in consideration, as we now know, for months for the VP slot, and her own son is getting deployed there!!

The revelation that she made the decision to take the nomination without consulting her children, including her pregnant daughter who is now being dragged through the media mud. Apparently, they were surprised with the announcement in Ohio. No, this is not a comment about Palin's choices as a woman. It's about her being a shitty uncaring parent. I would be equally disgusted with Obama or Biden in the same situation.

The fact that she is being kept sequestered from the press because she needs to be coached on the issues. WTF?? I can understand not knowing the names of the leaders of every country but come ON.

I'm sure she'll handle herself fine in the debates and even if she doesn't, hell, Bush was a babbling moron in them but the press acted like he was fucking Cicero because he didn't shit on himself.

She is Bush in lipstick..except that he merely pandered to the fundies for their votes. She is more dangerous because she really believes all that crap.

:scared:

:kick:

Palin is a scary mo-fo. :scared:

I read that in a column, but I can't remember who wrote it.
