Taught the Fear of Jesus in a Small Town

Some people are looking at tonight's debate as if Sarah Palin can win over voters with a good performance. As if one debate, where Palin is sure to be well rehearsed on providing non-answers without rambling, is going to make a difference after her embarrassing comments of the last week. I was thinking about adding on to that last sentence in a way to make it Palinesque, but that would be overdoing it. It is clear that Palin is stupid. She could not name a newspaper that she reads. The obvious conclusion is that she doesn't read newspapers. She could not name a Supreme Court decision that she disagreed with. That is because she is not informed. I doubt she has even read Roe v. Wade or understands that the case was decided on a privacy basis. And is it really helping that Palin continues to parade around that baby? Is Palin suddenly going to become more knowledgeable while busy with child care? I am sure we will hear from people after the debate who will say, "see, Palin can handle herself and is competent!" Those are people who would never vote for Obama. It is interesting that intelligence is seen as a liability by many people. Is the Republican Party becoming the party of the stupid? What is really scary is that George W. comes off like a genius when compared to Palin.
