The Rude One: "the reason we think Sarah Palin is unqualified is because she's unqualified."

Sarah Palin's Speech - Random Observations (Briefly):

So, like, what the fuck does the governor of Alaska do? You can talk about getting rid of corruption as much as you want, but you're still lappin' at that pipeline like a rim job-givin' man whore. Essentially, one's job as governor of Alaska is to keep the oil companies happy as a pig in shit. Because without them, Alaska would still just be a territory of outlaws, moose hunters, and prospectors wondering what the fuck to do about the Inuit.

And to answer another of Palin's statements, um, a community organizer in the projects of Chicago is probably a little more active than a small town mayor in a distant suburb of Alaska. All Mayor Palin had to deal with was tax abatements for the new Target and the occasional walrus attack.

By the way, using one's PTA membership as an example of one's experience to be the vice president of the United States is like saying that because you once took an aspirin, you can handle your speedballs.

So the reason many of us are saying that Sarah Palin is unqualified is not sexism or anti-middle class bias or sucking up to the Washington power structure or whatever stupid ass excuse the right desperately is clinging to in order to calm that gut churn they're feeling. No, the reason we think Sarah Palin is unqualified is because she's unqualified.

(And, oh, yeah, she sucks balls as a speaker.)

4. what he said about the PTA membership may be true, but...

... he really ought to give her credit for all the foreign policy experience she got at the airport in Ireland.

5. Bush wasn't any better qualified (understatement). OTOH Cheney had LOTS of gov't experience.

We see how that all turned out, both ways. Palin's got more problems than "qualifications".
She's a rad right kookfart menace to democracy.
