That Idiot Sarah Palin

We have the proof of her idiocy this time:

Boy - it sure is a good thing THAT idiot didn't win.

Oh. Right.

Do you really think Palin's reputation for idiocy comes from slips of the tongue?

@wally: No. It came from a single inept answer to a question posed by Katie Couric. It didn't come from an objective review of her time as Wasilla Mayor or Alaska governor.

And the same professional journalists who make that judgment can't be bothered to dig into Barack Obama's paper trail, which the President sealed under executive order soon after his inauguration. Nor can they even be bothered to work up any indignation over that action.

It may have started with that single inept answer. Every reputation starts with a single incident, I suppose. For you to conclude that therefore it's BASED on that single incident would be, um, somewhat illogical, to put it kindly. This must be one of those things you say that you don't really believe. Anyway, I kind of remember a recent post on the subject of Palin's intellectual depth by a certain blog...oh, let's see, its name is on the tip of my tongue...

@wally: the fact that I think Palin is intellectually incurious does not mean I think she would do a bad job as President; cf. comparative jobs done by nuclear physicist Jimmy Carter and dumb actor Ronald Reagan. And our current president has made his own incompetence apparent to all.

"Intellectually incurious"...you could have had a successful career in PR, Bob. Being hopelessly unaware of one of the basic stories of this country's founding in the midst of a triumphal tour touting your patriotism is not an example of incuriosity.

And you can keep desperately tossing red herrings in my path, but I remember what the original topic of this post was.

@wally: Funny, you think I'd have a notion of what the original post was, since I'm the one that posted it. I was amused by the misdirection in the video. The video shows Obama to be as much a blithering idiot (when away from his omnipresent TelePrompTer) as Palin. Sorry you don't agree.

And so we come full circle. Let me state this as simply as I can: the video was a compendium of slips of the tongue and stammers; Palin's gaffes reveal a more serious deficiency. You can disagree with this point if you like, but at least try to understand it first.

@wally: I viewed the video again to make sure I was seeing the same thing you did. While there were some stammers and slips, we also discovered that the President:

1. Could not remember the French motto "Liberte/Egalite/Fraternite. (If he ever knew it)

2. Thinks "Austrian" is a language.

3. Thinks there is a Mexican holiday called "cinco de cuatro."

4. Tried to walk under an arbor with an open umbrella; when it blocked him, rather than closing the umbrella, he passed it over the top of the arbor.

5. At a town hall meeting, away from his TelePrompTer, he could not complete a sentence, to the point that the audience began heckling him.

6. Thinks the word "corpsman" is pronounced "corpse-man."

7. Thinks the automobile was invented in the US.

8. Showed himself uninformed on Medicare reimbursement.

Sorry, those aren't stammers and slips of the tongue.

Oh, bullshit. Have you never had something you knew perfectly well flee your mind while engaging in public speaking? Your hatred beclouds your mind, my man. Hey, if you want to believe that Sarah Palin is equally as intelligent as Obama, be my guest. No skin off my back.

6/21/2011 05:40:00 PM

@wally: "Austrian" is ignorance. Not knowing the origin country of the automobile is ignorance. "Corpsman" is ignorance. Uninformed on Medicare reimbursement is ignorance.

Of the two politicians, only one has blocked access to his paper trail by executive order, and you refuse to speak to that fact.

I would have guessed that the automobile was invented in America. Would you label me an ignorant person?

Obama's record=red herring.

@wally: Everyone is ignorant of many things; it's a mistake to think that Palin has a monopoly on it, however, which seems to be the prevailing notion in liberal-land. As for Obama's paper trail, if George W. Bush (or Sarah Palin) blocked access to records the same way Obama has, you'd say, with justification, what does he have to hide? And so do I ask.

I think you'd agree that being ignorant of a Trivial Pursuit answer that most people are ignorant of is different than being ignorant of the subject that you are claiming is special to you, the one that you are crowing about all across America, hoping to draw a distinction between you and the unpatriotic pointy-headed liberals.

Obama's record=red herring.

@wally: Palin, as far as I know, has never claimed special knowledge of anything at all. Her current tour around the country seems no different than the "listening tour" that Hillary Clinton took of New York state when she was carpetbagging there on her way to a Senate seat.

One thing that offends me greatly is the MSM's need to IQ test Palin whenever she does deign to give them an interview. I think that, unless they're willing to do that with all of the candidates, Dem as well as GOP, then they should stop it with Palin, as it does nothing but display their extreme bias regarding her.

red herring= HORSESHIT. Obama = unvetted and protected by MSM.
