I'm looking forward to watching her on Fox. It'll be like watching Sarah Silverman - attractive and makes me laugh, except Silverman is funny on purpose.

This country consistently proves that stupidity pays off more than intelligence.

I agree with you. Palin obviously works hard to BS her way out of this hole.

First time I've ever appreciated something Beck has done.
I'm convinced he didn't think Palin was actually this stupid and that a slow-pitch softball question like that about the very root of American History would give her trouble. It's amazingly obvious she has no clue what is going on. At least he didn't ask her about the current proposal for a treaty by North Koreans.

Al of her "interviews" will be very, very strictly scripted and you will never see her in an open-dialog situation.

So, what was stupid about her response? Does everybody have a favorite founder? Is that some kind of prerequisite for intelligence? It seemed that she considerately and politely searched a few seconds for an answer to an irrelevant, personal question. Is an honest pause to be considered a mark of stupidity?

If she had not put all that time into maintaining her appearance she would not have been the most attractive republican woman in a senior position - she was smart to do that.

It depends with which party you are affiliated with..........and which party the person passing judgement is a member of.

Unlike, of course, all the other pols who groom themselves to the nth and spend beaucoup bucks on styled hairdos/haircuts, facelifts, just the right formal or casual attire to project the right image at the right time, unlike the mass of the political class, she was smart to maintain her appearance.

Sometimes it works though - after Hillary Clinton's makeover she looked like a new man.

Oh so..o..ooo true. And isn't that the stupidest thing? Amazing how purely partisan politics dumbs us down.
