Sarah Palin Would Fail My 7th Grade Public Speaking Class

[curiosityandthecat]

It's finals week here, and I'm busy as ... well, crap on a crap sandwich. Just saying. I'm only bringing her up because, for some reason, she gave a press conference.  :brick: She makes Dubya sound like Atticus Finch for Pesci's sake!

I would totally give her an F.

(Ironically, I just noticed that she is being left off the list of the Republican Governor's Assocation's picks for possible presidential candidates for 2012 or, for that matter, any RGA leadership position.   )

Sounds pretty damn busy!

It's actually painful to read that. My head hurts now. I don't want to beat a dead horse here by bringing her back up, but, man.   She makes Dubya sound like Atticus Finch for Pesci's sake!

C'mon, Curio - leave her the eff alone already! You realize all they speak in Wasilla is Tounges, don't you?? They're used to babbling at one another.

I'm a Brit so assume I'm stupid where it come to US politics but, apart from it being incredibly trite/dumb sounding (even for a politician), did she actually say anything un-politician like there?

Not particularly. The thing that's scary is that she (and Matt Damon was right, it really is like a bad Disney film) is vying for a 2012 Presidential bid. What's scarier is that so many people actually like this woman. She's the Paris Hilton of politics.

   Nice one! Although at least Hilton is good at being a celeb...I've got a few more: She's the Tonya Harding of politics. She's the Bjorn Lomborg of politics or _________________________ (please fill in blank with a person absolutely incompetent in their field) of politics  

Scary that people wants her in 2012 though. We have a person like that in Denmark, and she has WAY too much influence on danish politics. I hope for you guys, that the change to someone competent will last.

lefty Says:

To all those complaining about Palinmania.2:

STFU. This woman stepped on the national stage in front of tens of millions of people and flipped liberals the bird. She is the Last Dick Move and she in all her glorious stupidity is getting what she deserves.

I want them to break her. I want them to absolutely destroy the cult of boastful ignorance that has gripped the rightwing of this country. I want them to plow through the concrete barrier of anti-intellectualism and force these morons to feel some shred of shame for trying to pass this political equivalent of manufactured, fast-food porn as a Vice Presidential candidate.

This country needs to collectively punish someone like her who thinks that supreme bullsh!t confidence and religious/small town “common sense” is a sufficient substitute for intellect, talent and worldliness so that IT DOESN’T HAPPEN AGAIN. I want every two-bit “Joe the Plumber” to think twice about pretending that he knows a goddamn thing about anything.

We are seeing who the real political Britney Spears or Paris Hilton are here and her name is Sarah. And she should be treated with no more respect, because just like them, she is nothing more than a talentless media whore.
