    Re: Is Sarah Palin stupid?

    She did get elected Governor and selected as the vice presidential candidate for one of the two main national partys. She must have done something right, because most of us won't be able top achieve that.

      Re: Is Sarah Palin stupid?

      So this morning on NPR's All Things Considered, Melissa Block asked a very direct question to Robert Allison, Chaiman, History Department of Suffolk University about the accuracy of Palin's knowledge of Paul Revere's ride.

      Judge for yourself but it seems NPR validated Palin's claim.

      In a nutshell here's the smoking gun reply from Allison:


      BLOCK: So you think basically, on the whole, Sarah Palin got her history right.

      Prof. ALLISON: Well, yeah, she did. And remember, she is a politician. She's not an historian. And God help us when historians start acting like politicians, and I suppose when politicians start writing history.
      Life is what you make of it...so please read the instructions carefully.

        Sex appeal? She can't even string words together to make a comprehensible sentence. She's a blathering idiot! And the fact that she was selected for anything shows how stupid many people are in the US. It is indeed a sad commentary.

          Craig you are really grasping at straws. Yeah, she got the part right when she acknowleged there was someone named Paul Revere in American history. But everything else was wrong. I'm surprised she knew as little as she did! Nincompoop! And the "good professor" is putting his spin on what Para Sailin" said (could he be a Teapublican) just like those who tried to edit Wikipedia two days ago to make her nonsense historically accurate.

              When Revere was captured by the British, he claimed to his captors that there were plenty of patriots out there who might be annoyed. That's different than ridin' through the night, ringin' them bells and shootin' them guns to warn the British to lay off our shootin' irons. But you squint real hard at the facts, and put 'em up there all slant'ndicular, you might make that tenuous connection between fact and fantasy.

              Palin isn't stupid. She's actually a savant.

                You mean "idiot savant"?
                Savant syndrome (pronounced /səˈvɑːnt/[1]), sometimes referred to as savantism, is a rare condition in which people with developmental disorders have one or more areas of expertise, ability, or brilliance that are in contrast with the individual's overall limitations.

                  In every haystack there's the possibility of finding a needle.
                  Sure she got Paul's name right, little else. And that doesn't excuse the fumbling of an expiditious answer, one that the little girl who challenged Bachmann could've whipped right out, and not look like a totally frightened and confused deer in the headlight of a moped.
                  A round of beers say's she can't spell, savant.

                    A round of matapule's homemade Cadillac Margaritas says she has never heard of the word........'ceptin' maybe she might say, "I ain't hirin' no illegal aliun savants to do my housework in Aridzona, you betcha!" (wink, wink)

                    She thinks she is qualified to be President of the USA. NINCOMPOOP!

                      No, to the original question, I think she's a bright girl. In interviews, she hasn't been perfect. Well, are you smart? How do you think you'd do on the national stage, with a troop of very knowledgeable, ideologically opposed, and antagonistic reporters circling and ready to pounce? Could you perhaps make an occasional mistake? Give the gal a little slack.

                        Yeah, me am off the charts smart and me can handle anything that comes my way including officious pedantics!

                        Not Me! Me never makes a mistake! And her makes an "occassional" mistake?

                        How's this for a little slack......she does pretty well for someone with an IQ of 50!

                          Just be aware that premature judgement is the greatest cause for post-judgement regrets.

                          It seems to me she is as you describe her, but I will tread more lightly.

                            Greg, have you been paying anything close to sufficient attention the last 2 years concerning her to legitimize this statement? She is the epitome of the extreme ideological whacko rascist right, a non-caring beyond her family doorstep, anti-intellectual, myopic, self-grandising greedy meglomaniacal hillbilly (no offense to hillbillies!) that wants America to become a bad version of Russia. She deserves just enuf slack to insure her political nooseage, and not a bit more. Look in the dictionary under EXTREME DANGER and there she'll be.

                              Well, yes, but that doesn't mean she's stupid.

                                Oh, thank goodness. But... I thot even an educated person that encompassed all that blantantly illogical thinking wouldn't fare on the side of elementary insightfulness, am I missing something?
