The most poignant part for me was when he said:

"Talking informatively makes you a "Professor" to be despised. Talking with limited substance makes you genuine and should be embraced. Winning a Presidential nomination and general election means nothing. Being plucked out of obscurity by somebody else makes you qualified for national leadership."

Correcting the downright lie she told Faux about Alaska producing 20% of America's energy with the fact it only produces 2 to 3% was awesome, too.

1. The GOP nutshell

n/t

8. +1

There is indeed a double standard - republicans get away with everything - the dems need to stop playing around and get DEADLY SERIOUS with these fuckers. The time for civility is OVER - you can NOT keep letting the republicans run their double standard bullshit or else the dems will ALWAYS be ineffectual. Even when they are in the minority it still seems like the repubs are running things! the dems better get it together because people have had it with their complacency in letting the repubs ruin the county. :mad:

2. I think she is becoming worrisome. Never under estimate the stupidity of the population.

She and this movement are starting to draw on diverse groups...fringe christian groups, militia movements,hate groups , and the large growing dumb-alongs. It matters little that she knows so little. The followers will go blindly with her. And now she has a network television station. I think she is a problem, and not a minor blip. I mean, Ron Paul doesn't even satisfy this crowd.

4. Exactly!!

We are a nation of f*cking morons...if Obama didn't win by a HUGE majority. He won by a few percentage points.

Doesn't say much for the intelligence of this nation as a whole. Nation of morons! We're #1!

Thank goodness we have some in the "media" who are bringing facts like this out..what if it was all propaganda?!

We'd have to march on the newswhore stations.

9. JUst keep her in our face.

Way to go media. Just keep covering her so EVERYBODY knows who she is. I don't think we see enough of "the stupid bitch."

[JDPriestly]

Excellent.

12. Caribou Barbie makes bu$h

look like a f*cking genius.
I hope she runs. She's drawing all the racists, militia and other goofballs out of the woodwork. Her presidency would be short-lived. The lazy bitch will complain about not getting more money and quit. :rofl:

13. David nailed it so well, it's the double standards that are harder to stomach than even Palin

herself.

14. She's pretty! And she doesn't talk all smartypants like!

Does anyone else think it's telling (and hilarious) that Palin referred to running for President as "seeking a title"? Someone should tell her there's really more to it than a title. Is she not aware the title "President of the United States" comes with the hardest job in the world? That it's an office for serious, intelligent, hard-working people? (Rhetorical question, that. I think the answer is pretty clear.)

If she couldn't handle a full term of, uh, holding the title of Governor, what makes her think she should consider seeking a higher title?
