Not to be really rude or anything, but that is the dumbest example that I have ever heard! Obama in a sense was PROMOTED to presidency, Ms Dipwad actually QUIT her governorship for whatever reason

Today's WaPo has one of the best pieces yet I've seen on her; well worth reading.

Excerpts:

- Sarah Palin's best quality is that she has none at all. She exists for both her friends and enemies as a fantasy figure.

- for both the right and the left, Palin is not a leader. She neither founded nor leads a movement and has no ideas of her own. She's a validator, satisfying her audience's narcissistic urge to be told they are correct in their thinking. They look at her and see themselves.

- The lady from Alaska is a phony. She has sold out for money, quitting office so that she could cash in. ... She was neither a threat to the left nor an opportunity for the right, but just a fantasy -- until the American people turned the lights on.
Amazing articles in the link- thanks Mike From Back East

from Bongo in Alaska who should have seen it coming

For any of her supporters, what is it about a leader who abandons their public office that you find so noble and compelling? That her stance of quitting an oath to office is so "rogue" and revolutionary?

Palin is rogue and savvy in the sense that she knows how and when to abandon office in order to maximize her own earnings. For all of you who cry "Good for her!" seriously what has she ever done/will do for you??? Do you really expect Palin is ever going to represent you in a capacity that is going to HELP you?

As for the rest of the Palin crew- I don't doubt that her son who joined the forces has more common sense in his pinky than momma Palin has in her entire bod.

The polls say the american people want Obama to just go away after the next election. I think its fitting that Obama and Palin get compared to one another and seem to share so many traits and abilities.

She draws imbeciles, idiots, bigots, and losers the way cow dung attracts flies. This makes them easy to identify and disregarded.

Palin's a fool that's all about the money. Let's leave it at that.

He was "promoted" to President. Palin just flat out quit.

And yet, the biggest liar and fraud of them all, obama, can't help but to respond to her criticisms.
