I don't mean to belabor the point but Sarah Palin is a very stupid woman.

[cali]

one trite comment after another. she's completely inarticulate. If she's ever had an original thought I'd be shocked. It says a lot that someone like her can be taken seriously- in Alaska or on a national level.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

1. She couldn't be mayor of Funkytown.

[Wickerman]

2. She has no funk

There is no Elvis in Sarah Palin.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

5. She makes Pat Boone look like Sly Stone.

[babylonsister]

10. Oh, my!

:spray:

[SoxFan]

24. She makes Hillary Clinton look like George Clinton

[Gman]

21. And Sarah Palin is too incredibly white

to have any funk. I mean, I'm talking friggin' Alaska white... where you don't find a sistah for 4,000 miles white...

[Starbucks Anarchist]

25. She can see Russia from her house, but not black people.

[Coexist]

3. I'm going with vapid.

[cali]

7. you ain't got nothing on Sarah.

Governor vapid has it all over you.

[Tesla]

8. I was trying to think of a good word for her

and you found it!

[Coexist]

14. glad you agree!

[Botany]

4. but day are da good guys and if you look around day are good guys

....

she didn't answer the questions but did a nice job of pointing with her
index fingers @ Russia this way Canada that way .....

She is screamingly stupid.

[lapfog_1]

6. She trips over her own words trying to get the talking points out

and ends up not making sense.

[Arrowhead2k1]

9. It doesn't say much for Alaska either.

I'm sorry Alaskans, but this year you're the new Texas. Palin country! Yee-haw ya-know!

[babylonsister]

12. Play nice; it's not their fault, at least not those Alaskans around these

parts.

[Maureen54]

11. look at the last 8 years

Republicans seem to like candidates who say trite comments, and are inarticulate.

[terrya]

13. When you can make Dan Quayle look statemanlike, that's a big accomplishment.

I truly think Sarah Palin is the dumbest, most vapid politician I've seen in my lifetime.

[cali]

17. shockingly stupid. strikingly vapid. stultifyingly cliched.

Alaskans, what were you thinking?

[hogwyld]

18. Dan Quayle is the happiest man in America

He'll never be considered the stupidest VP pick in history ever again.

[Left Is Write]

15. I say, go ahead and belabor that point.

She never seems to have a clue what she's talking about. She just strings words together in a seemingly random fashion, rendering everything that comes out of her mouth incomprehensible.

[instantkarma]

16. you can't underestimate the intelligence of Sarah Palin.

not at all

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

19. Belabor it all you want! My town has a population of over 50,000 and our Town Supervisor

(equiv to Mayor) is an exceptionally INTELLIGENT Democratic woman, who is head and shoulders above Palin. She's been in that position for 21 years now. If Palin ran for a position in our town government, she wouldn't even be voted in as the animal control officer.

[graywarrior]

20. She's a good AMWAY person

I'll bet she has a super downline.

[nam78_two]

22. This is where our (increasing) disdain for education has landed us

I am 30 and as long as I have been following politics (9-10 years now-post Gingrich revolution :puke:), all I can remember is this (constantly increasing) disdain for any sign of intelligence or knowledge in our leaders and attempts to tie that disdain to the most fake kind of "populism" I have ever seen.

This is so toxic for us. I have often wanted to ask older DUers when exactly this started being a fixture on the right side of the aisle? It can't always have been this bad? I compare some of the older conservatives to the newer lot and the difference is so patent. Even their pundits-I don't care for George Will, Bill Buckley, William Saffire etc. but I could at least read their stuff without being horrified at the thought that such ignorant yet wily charlatans are controlling the political discourse on that side. But the newer lot-Hannitty, O'Reilly, Beck..these people hold up stupidity, avarice, ignorance and close-mindedness as qualities to aspire to.

It is just TOXIC.

[tilsammans]

26. Agree. I don't care much for Will, Buckley, and Safire, but . . .

. . . these are literate and well-spoken individuals.

And they don't resort to nasty nyah-nyah-nyah-nyah-nyah name calling (e.g., FemiNazis).

This is where political discourse has gone. Dumbed down, like everything else. :cry:

[fifthoffive]

27. It started with Reagan

He was all sound-bites, personal charm, and appearance.

Reagan was like Bill Starbuck from "The Rainmaker." He made a lot of people feel good and took their money even though he never actually did what he promised.

[tilsammans]

23. At best, she has a 7th-grade worldview . . .

. . . and an equally immature way of expressing it.

God, I hate to hear someone say, "graduated college." It's graduated FROM college, you idjet!

[codjh9]

28. I think the shocker, though, isn't how stupid SHE is, but that millions of dumb-ass Amerikans

think she's great! Or at least thought so briefly. I think a fair number still do.
