Palin 6 weeks before election: Saddam Hussein Attacked US on 9/11 (no surprises here)

* Less than six weeks before Election Day, advisers to Ms. Palin alerted the McCain headquarters over concerns of Ms. Palin’s well-being. They said she was not eating properly, depressed and not participating in debate practices. Mr. McCain suggested moving the debate sessions from Philadelphia to Sedona, Ariz., and fly her family in from Alaska, to improve her outlook.

* In the days leading up to an interview with ABC News’ Charlie Gibson, aides were worried with Ms. Palin’s grasp of facts. She couldn’t explain why North and South Korea were separate nations and she did not know what the Federal Reserve did. She also said she believed Saddam Hussein attacked the United States on Sept. 11, 2001.

Seriously, there are a lot of people who appear to have at least a normal amount of brainpower, but they end up thinking such stupid shit. My father was quite a good engineer, yet he went to the "Creation Museum" and bought all of their bullshit. I know he has the brainpower to reason through that. He simply chose not to.

Some of these people come by their stupid naturally, but for way too many, it seems to be a conscious choice to be stupid, simply because it is so much easier to ignore the facts.

An intellectually lazy person pandering to a nation of intellectually lazy has a huge advantage in this country.

It's no coincidence that religiosity is dominant among the right. Faith acts as an opiate against the scary facts of life.

them to be.

All that book learnin never did nobody no good!

:scared:

....who in an interview indicated that she would act without blinking. Her knowledge base sucks and she would act without blinking? Great, there's a feel safe reccomendation. Because you know, the blinkless interviews went over so well :sarcasm:

Snakes don't blink.

She meant to say act without thinking.

:shrug:

primary run in 2012.

JDHayworth, perhaps?

Republicans now vying for control of the GOP. He already has some name recognition and a national following.

Go for it Fred!

"Game Change" will be a real treat for both sides of the aisle. When Dick Cheeney learned that McCain had chosen Palin he deemed it "a reckless choice" because she was not prepared for higher office.

He doesn't cite his source, but if it's true, look for FReeper heads to explode. :evilgrin:

And Cheney et al laugh at them behind closed doors.

But this is so apt:

"You can't fix stupid."

so he was guilty."

Just disregard all of the innocent people we have either killed or enabled their killing, they are collateral damage for the act of killing the one who attacked us on 9/11.
