You know what's really scary?
That batshit crazy incoherent ignoramus of a Grifter believes she's in the same league as President Obama. How the fugg has she been allowed to get away with this?

2. Good point
- the inversion of reality is complete. Ignorance is wisdom.

3. Yep. Any media creation can be president
and Bush once said : "You know, I could run for governor but I'm basically a media creation"

He was, He did- and the rest is..well, tragic.

5. We've Always Made the Wrong Assumption
that if you are smart or competent you will win friends and influence people. Wrong! Palin's stupidity actually may be to her
advantage as was GWB's obvious retardation. There are pockets of Americans who HATE educated and intelligent people--we
have a long history of anti-intellectualism in this country. Back in the 50's Adlai Stevenson couldn't be elected because he
was "an egg head."

People in the Palin-Bush wagon vote their insecurities--they will oppose anyone who makes them feel inadequate--rather than
voting what logically will help them. Obama may sense this in his recent attempts to turn "populist." A number of commentators
have said they hope he doesn't keep the act going as they LIKE the fact that he is "an elitist," i.e. intelligent, well educated, informed etc.
I hope so too because when he got elected he set a higher bar--a bar, however, that a large sector of the American population
would rather crawl under than climb over. Ergo, the popularity of Sarah Stupid.

6. I watched the dubya saga unfold in Texas for 6 years
I actually laughed when he was running for governor - what a fucking moron - I will forever remember the chill that came over me with stunning clarity when it hit me - "OMG they're gonna make him president."

7. I was there too
I just could not fucking believe that they were crowning that idiot Governor, and yet I watched it happen right before my very eyes. I felt like the little kid in "Invaders from Mars", who slowly watches the whole town fall under the sway of the aliens and can't do anything about it.

And then they went and made him President.
