I live in an alternate Universe.

I have watched Sarah Palin as much as I can stand, in her speeches, her interviews and her "debates" and for the life of me I do not see the brilliance in her that some people claim.

For the life of me I do not understand it other than the fact that she is physically attractive, take that away and she has nothing.

She is woefully ignorant at best and at worst just completely stupid.



She is the hallmark of what is fundamentally wrong with this country, all style no substance, where beauty trumps brains, where ignorance is bliss, she is the American Idol Candidate.

1. She's an idiot. Republicans LOVE idiots. Look what's in the Oval Office. nt

[HughMoran]

2. I figured that out 10 minutes after she was picked

I have been hiding any thread discussing that waste of air since!

[RoyGBiv]

3. Dumb, pretty, and white ...

Oh, and chipper.

This, in a Republican wet dream, is what serves as smart.

It's a different language. Don't try to understand it.

[lob1]

4. She has special skills. She's very snarky and smiles when she lies.

[Lefty-Taylor]

5. I loathe her. I despise her.

She is the worst this country has to offer.

[FLyellowdog]

6. Hate her....

[carpetbagger]

7. No, you live in everyone else's universe.

She's a throwback to the glory days of Bush (remember "A Reformer with Results"?) before all the baggage of what happens when know-nothingism wields power.

In the end, she probably cost McCain the 30-40% chance he had of winning the election. She'll be eaten alive if she ever tries to run for president. Iowa town halls will send her in full flight for Alaska.

8. The American Idol Candidate.

I like that.

Yeah, she's terrible. She's got some kind of charisma, but that's IT. No intelligence, no curiosity, no understanding of details.

She really is Dubya part two. Thank goodness those two didn't meet and have kids.

9. Her "brilliance" is mainly seen by old Republican men that don't get out much.

Can you name a single time that Pat Buchanan has even mentioned the name Sarah Palin without using the word "attractive"?

[rvablue]

10. That is because you actually have a few brain cells to rub together....

unlike her supporters who laud anyone who is just like them: stupid.

[political_Dem]

11. She's not that remarkable. I agree.

That's why the people who are pushing her to run in 2012 have to be on crack.

She's like the Emperor in Hans Christian Andersen's story, "The Emperor's New Clothes". People can see the true image of what she is, but the sycophants will continue to worship the imaginary clothes.

[illuminaughty]

12. She's a freak show and the freaks love it.

Plus, she doesn't use "nun them fancy werds"

[RoadRage]

13. at LEAST 60% of the country agrees with you..

with US. She is a legend in her own mind, with Christian Fundies, and on FOX.. that is all.
