Boy, am I glad she wasn't on the winning ticket

Today, the New York Times and Newsweek are reporting that McCain staffers say she wasn't aware prior to prepping for the debates that:

1) Africa is a continent, and

2) there are three nations in NAFTA

That's quite scary .. it would have been horrible to have her a "heartbeat away from the presidency" for four years. I'm glad we were spared that.

Palin's an idiot

All the above comments are clearly the result of some people drinking the Palin Bourbon---It's stronger than Koolaid and twice as persuasive.

She's clearly a dumb broad. I'm a woman and I graduated in four years. So Sorry I didn't get pregnant out of wedlock and have to have a shotgun wedding.

No, I'm not sorry about that after all.

OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT

Palin is probably one of the most UN-intelligent U.S. politician around. She would have been better to stay the governor of Alaska than to show her ignorance to the whole world (interviews, etc.). The whole world is laughing at how stupid Americans are in worshipping someone that stupid.

This Story

If sarah pariah is what represents the best of america is true then we will soon all be working for the chinese - and NO - you cant see that from wasilla - but maybe you can see ted stevens 7 federal convictions from there...not to mention her own ethicically issues and when this is over conviction by her own republican party

It seems to me, in a world leading country of 300,000,000 plus people, a vice presidential candidate should have better credentials than attending Idaho State for 4 semesters.

Sarah's Priorities

Sarah's not a gifted student and didn't take her education seriously. So, what? She has other talents and has succeeded where many, more intelligent, people have failed.

Palin is an idiot. If we elect McCain we are doomed to another 4 years of Quayleisms. We don't need more humiliation after the past 8 years.

And you have a sense a humor too!

Smartest guy you know? So do you know anyone besides the man in the mirror?

I agree

Yep John Mccain graguated 894 out of 899 and Palin graduated with half of her education from community college. The only person who may sound less intelligent than her is good old Johnny M. This is a winning ticket it I ever seen one. Oh yeah and the most highly paid person on their staff by far is the hairstylist. That is just too funny. That and Joe Mccain using 911 for traffic updates and telling the lady to go fuck off when she questioned him. Someone needs to let him know that big bro ain't the president yet. Johnny M. is an American hero and I respect him for that. However, you need to do something to earn the job of president. He was a hero and he got his reward....a seat in the senate and a rich hot wife. Let's leave the big boy job to someone who has a level of intelligence about what he is doing and not someone who nearly finished last at the naval academy.

Addressing Kim of MO

First, your complete disregard for correct spelling and punctuation clearly shows how much you lack in education. Also, what makes you the authority on what people should report? I find this an interesting article, as I consider it important for the candidates to have well-rounded, extensive, and achieved collegiate backgrounds. I have known women with kids who completed college in a timely manner. Academic success shows that someone can work hard, think critically, and stay committed, all things of which the Puppet Palin lacks, as she must be extensively prepped for debates and interviews instead of KNOWING THE ANSWERS.
