The first time Last Reporter noticed Palin’s lack of spelling skills was in a reference letter praising her ex brother-in-law Mike Wooten, the same state trooper Palin is now being investigated for allegedly abusing her power by trying to get him fired.

Who says you need to know to spell to be qualified for Vice President? You apparently don't need to have any other qualifications, either.

Agreed- a person's spelling and grammar are often the first impression that people have of them.

Very true...look who is McCains VP!

We all remember this one: Dan Quayle was at the Luis Munoz Rivera School in Trenton, New Jersey. He was there helping with a spelling bee. He asked a student to spell the word "potato." The student spelled the word correctly, then, Dan Quayle made him go back up to the board to add an "e" on the end of the word.

Yeah, reminds me of Quale. Funny, but hey, I don't care if she can't spell, I care more if she can lead the country, and I just don't believe she can. She doesn't pass my litmus test.

I can't spell and I can't add anymore either. Between spell-check and Excel, there are lots of other places I can use my brain.

Bush set the bar pretty low for grammar/speaking abilities being a qualification for the job! What and idiot!
