Palin's too dumb and her staff's too incompetent...
Here's an interesting behind-the-scenes dish on Palin's questionable staff from NEW YORK magazine:

http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2010/04/why_palins_biggest_presidentia.html


The tales told suggest "skits" but may also be sustained conditions surrounding Palin's personal cognitive deficits and her poor judgment in communications break-downs and organizational temper-tantrums.

6. OT: Like Palin, I now can't think of Scott Brown w/o seeing SNL skit
I keep envisioning him as Jon Hamm, dancing like a flapper in Senator Byrd's head.

12. SNL can make things stick. It's that way with me and Jerry Ford,
portrayed by Chevy Chase years ago as a bumbling dolt.

Well...

18. Really, he is the epitome of being in the right place when the DLC was being rejected.
Oh! look what I found, is not quite the same as being influential.

10. Hitler and Stalin were on that list at one point.
"Most influential" does not necessarily mean "most wonderful".

4. I confess I'd love to see her as one of the candidates in a vicious GOP primary.
It could take the GOP decades to recover from that.

5. True. It would be one of those long, ongoing feud things that
occurs in politics now and then and the GOP would barely survive it.

11. Except for the chance that she'd win.
She's no stupider than GW or Dan Quayle, and not eviler than Dick Cheney.

I was going to say, "No eviler than Nixon," but this new generation of Republicans has set a whole new standard of evilness. Nixon's not in the same league at all. As John Dean said, while shaking his head, "On his worst day, Nixon would never have authorized torture."

7. palin's failings are a win for the USA.
"It's an unpleasant chapter in my life," Donatelli told me when I asked about working for Palin. "I've been hurt in this whole process, I'm trying hard not to get into it."

Trying to muster up some sympathy for this republicon tool but this is all I got..:nopity:

palin's staff wasn't on it when she called fauxsnooze "lamestream"(she wasn't aware that faux was the station she was talking about) when she was babbling to hannity.

That last line the article.."she's not a conventional politician"..She's a conventional sociopath..run of the mill motormouth..lies pouring out at a rapid rabid rate.

On "The Good Wife" CBS April 6, 2010..a character called palin the devil incarnate..can't argue with that.

13. LOL. Yep. One lone fiddle singing a real sad tune is about all we can
put together for the poor dear.

If staff sign on to something as volatile and vacuous as Sarah Palin, they really do get what they pay for.

Good to see ya, Cha.

8. Reading that underscores that Palin would be incapable of
running the WH or anything else - she's not qualified to be its head butler.

14. I could casually agree with you, treestar, but I think you aren't
exaggerating one bit, so I'm going to agree with you whole-hog with trumpets.

The woman is a dingbat.

15. Petty, entitled know-nothings hire other petty know-nothings.
Such a brittle organization crumbles easily, and requires an incredible amount of hand-feeding by the MSM.

16. Agree. She's good for the junk news ratings, but her circus
is about to run away from itself.

It is very difficult to imagine a more clueless figure than Sarah Palin.

19. The Little River Band does not deserve that. They may not be to your taste but they do no harm.
