Sarah Palin knows nothing, her career is finished.

This is the lamest article I've ever read in USNWR.

This obsession in attacking Sarah Palin even after the election indicates that liberals are terrified of her! Please keep up with the attacks,this will make her more relevant in American Politics. ;)

She may not be smart... but she's clearly smarter than our current V.P.
The interview where he stated that FDR went on T.V. to address the American people about the stock market crash of '29 is proof of that.
...And that was given an open-ended question... not the pop-quiz format Palin got.
I guess we won't talk about honesty and Biden's law school punishment for plagiarism...

A hell of a lot smarter that Barack Obama.

Bill ORiley calling Helen Thomas A "WICKED WITCH" was a little crass but that woman should know "when to say when" God she been around for ages and should know when its time to retire.
What is she waiting for, to drop dead at some news conference at the White House?
Its time Helen go home,retire,and live out the rest of her good life respectably and in the comfort she has worked so hard for.
A few more also should leave the stage for younger people no wonder the unemployment rate is so high because some of the old fogies wont retire and go home to relax, play golf or travel-they simply dont want to let go--
Regis Philbin,
Larry King,
Barbara Walters-all these people are old like the sun-its time they move on.

The United States suffers from Anti-Intellectualism. Palin and Bush are typical examples of politicians who play "dumb" and "ordinary" in order to appeal to the un-educated, poor white mobs. In these times we really don't need "ordinary" hockey moms or guys we could go for a beer with. We really need those extraordinary intellectuals. We need BRILLIANT minds not mediocre ones.

We have our first OJT president and you're still concerned about Sarah Palin?
Although I guess if Redoubt goes she could always say something like 'Well whatever we do we could do things totally right and still there's a good 30% chance of getting it wrong'...............

I have had the profound privilege of knowing many intelligent woman, Sarah Palin is an opportunist not a intellect and certainly not a humanitarian. I run a household, something she is clearly not qualified to do.
What you are and what you stand for is the anti-woman. if a woman wants to be taken seriously she doesn't flirt with people she believes to be world leaders,wink or strut like a show pony. She might even bone up on some current affairs or geography.
I am not threatened only bewildered that low IQ is actually a leadership trait that some people in this country truly value.
