I'll give you ten to one that Borat Obmamie does not know who George Washington was. Hell, the idiot does'nt even know who his own father is.

I agree, but I don't quite get your point.
Palin did name a Founding Father, something some of the folks mocking her in this thread seem to be unable to do. She also supplied information about Washington (his dislike for political service) that many folks don't know.

If Beck had asked her how a bill becomes law and she flubbed that, I'd say go ahead and scoff, but that didn't happen.

Geezer - do you really see her as presidential material?

Not really. I just object to the attack video at the beginning of this thread. It's mean-spirited and snarky...but most of all, its premise is factually incorrect.

She seems to have that effect on people... I'd be happy if we never talked about her or W again.

I always took "Founding Fathers" more as a concept than a specific group.

I'd love to hear her expound on his Christianity. ;)

I agree

Then we can leave it at that.

It's just that the landscape of her knowledge (in all ares) seems to be dreadfully short on acreage.

My, this one’s gone a long way since I was last here, too. I love this place!

Geezer, all I’ll say is

Government is her BUSINESS. She should know it like I know martial arts.

. I’m not trying to “prove” anything, nor do I think I’m smarter than Palin. Those statements make the point for me. Period.

Gino: Excellent. Tho’ I’m not sure I would agree to your choice for me. But your basic statements are RIGHT on target! And I think the “best cartoon ever” is hysterically right on!

This is just the nature of partisan politics - it's bias, shaded lenses - it doesn't equate to loonyness. Conspiracy theories I would say, are a different matter - they are often outlandish and deny all the available evidence.

Thank you. You said it better than I.

Damn, Mike. I was going to cite Quayle, and you beat me to it!
