Shocked at Sarah Palin's Stupidity

I just have to get it off my chest. This is my blog and I guess I have the write to say what I want. While my intention is to stick with what I know best (printing), I just can't help but offer my two cents worth of opinion about Sarah Palin.


I am utterly shocked at her apparent lack of intelligence. Sarah Palin is simply too stupid to be president of this country. You certainly don't have to have a doctorate degree or be above average intelligence to be president (Reagan and Bush proved that), but you do have to have at least average intelligence and/or the ability to gather about you folks who know and advise you about things you don't know. Sarah Palin lacks both.

I honestly don't believe Sarah Palin could point to a map and find Iraq, Iran, Pakistan or Afghanistan, not at least without some coaching.... she might hit the right continent, but she would never, never find all four! If geography was her only failing I would overlook it, but she is so lacking in other areas as well... business knowledge and history come to mind. I couldn't imagine she and her husband Todd running the country. I am glad I have a plane and could leave quickly.

The shocking thing is that while even a majority of Republicans say they are opposed to Sarah Palin, there is at least a decent, probably 50-50, chance that she could get the nomination as a result of gathering enough votes in the early primary states.

Who votes in primaries? In the case of the Republican primaries, they tend to be dominated by the most ardent, and most conservative within the party, and the latter love the likes of Palin a Bachmann.

The mere thought of Sarah Palin giving a State of the Union Message and yelling out with her shrill voice "I told ya so," and her stupid cliches about "putting the country back on the right path," just sends shivers up my spine.

I too can see Russia from my back door!

I just had cataract surgery performed on my right eye yesterday, and I mentioned this to a conservative friend of mine.

My friend emailed me back suggesting that if my surgery went well I would probably be able to see things much clearer now and would thus, by definition, probably become a Republican!

I wrote him back and said he was right. I can now see so clearly that when I go to the back of my house and look west across the Intercoatal Waterway I can see all the way to Russia just like Sarah Palin.

P.S. I know a lot of soccer moms and most of the ones I know are a heck of a lot smarter than Sarah Palin. In fact, she has given the term "soccer moms" a bad connotation. Just my thoughts.

P.P.S. By the way, cataract surgery and the medical advances it represents is nothing short of amazing. To be able to operate on such a small, complex organ and to be able to do so on an outpatient basis with little or no pain whatsoever is a testament to how far we have come in medicine in such a relatively short period of time.
