I guess she was against the swift-boating, too.

I feel about Sarah Palin the way a dog feels about Halloween.

First she didn't know what a VP does. Now, she thinks the PRESS is capable of taking away somebody's 1st Amendment rights, when, in fact, it is only the GOVERNMENT (you know, what she wants to be..) that can do that. Are all REpugs that damn stupid?
Just AXin'.

Greenwald knocks this outta the park

Now wait. Sarah Palin can say anything she wants to, but if someone else, the media in this case, comments on the content or tone of her remarks, they are infringing on her free speech rights? OK, I'm trying to get my foggy brain to work through that one . . . but . . . but . . . isn't there also something in the First Amendment about freedom of the press, too?
I'm confused.

I never thought I'd live to see an entire Presidential team turn themselves into the laughingstocks of the world. If it wasn't so sad, McCain-Palin would be the funniest joke of 2008. Senile and Dumber leading the way to the worst parts of the 20th century and the Cheney-Bush administration. They are to politics what the HIV virus has been to blood banks around the country.

Good riddance is all I can say. Go and sin no more..... If no one kills Barack Obama, if Cheney-Bush don't stop the election, if the RNC can't steal all the votes they need....President Obama will lead us into a more adult world where thinking takes the place of feeling, intelligence rules over faith, and the law applies to everyone. Just in the nick of time too!

I don't know what historians will call this dreadful era we're about to step out of, but it's been the most disgusting and painful 8 years of my life. How did America get so wacky? We must never let this happen again, for our children's sake. Come on Tuesday! Let's make some history!

PS It's not too late for you 3 or 4 McCain-Palin supporters to jump ship and be on the good side. Trust me, if you keep supporting the Republicans, you'll never be able to explain it later in life. Be right! Do the right thing! Save America and be able to tell your grandchildren all about it!

Look, calling Palin an idiot and giving biden a pass is sexist. There really isn't any other reason for ignoring his idiotic gaffs and using a microscope on her. She has been a Governor and mayor. Biden has only legislative experience. He has an edge in foreign policy but his presidential candidate does not. Yet you obsess with Palin and ignore the idiotic statements and gaffes that biden makes. You lose credibility with that obvious double standard.

Obama is intelligent and McCain and Palin are not so much. We need an intelligent leader.

So are you saying that McCain is not intelligent? I understand that he has a 148 IQ. Do you consider that stupid or average? Do you think that a high IQ is necessary to be an effective leader? Do you think that all effective leaders have high IQs?

Intelligence and IQ are not the same thing. Yes, I believe intelligence is a prerequisite for effective leadership.

Oh, really. Please explain to me the difference between 'intelligence' and 'IQ'? So are you saying that all effective leaders are 'intelligent'?

Doi - you make the mistake of TRYING to make sense of malapropped, non-sequitored disinformation from a Dingbat. That just warps/misfires your synapses and it's not even as good as LSD...has got to be right up there with the all-time bizarre observations ever uttered by a public person. OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Strange, if John McCain ever had an IQ of 148, he has never, never used it. Got into Annapolis by dint of family ties -- admirals aplenty plus Washington ties, for your information -- and stayed there the same way. Graduated fifth or sixth from the BOTTOM of his class, then coasted hither and yon in a farce of a Navy career. Reached about as high as he could up that ladder, then cast about for another venue when it became clear to him that was it. (Old Navy men coulda told him long before that family ties alone can take you only so far. Then it's down the old gangplank when you don't measure up.) That's were Miss Loaded came into the picture. ("Daddy, I love him. Buy him a seat in the House.")
Is -- or was -- the man a genius or a near-genius? I haven't seen his test scores and you probably haven't either. All I can say is that if his IQ is that high, he never even came close to measuring up to his potential. By now, all that purported gray matter has atrophied.

here's an IQ test that should interest many.

"If BS were currency, Palin could bail out Wall Street herself. If Palin were a man, we'd all be guffawing, just as we do every time Joe Biden tickles the back of his throat with his toes. But because she's a woman - and the first ever on a Republican presidential ticket - we are reluctant to say what is painfully true."

Here is a good explanation of the difference between IQ and intelligence.

Most educators are aware of this distinction.

Blue name.

Let's assume McCain does have an IQ of 148, a good indication that he is intelligent and capable of logical, deductive reasoning. What does that tell you about McCain as a person? A highly intelligent young man finished his academic career at the bottom of the list. He didn't mess up his freshman year then work hard to overcome his deficiencies; he continued to wallow at the bottom throughout his years at Annapolis. Lazy, undisciplined, self-centered, lacking direction? While I respect and honor his naval combat career, I see no evidence of outstanding leadership there. He did his job, with some degree of messiness and nothing outstanding that I remember. He wasn't bad at it, he just wasn't outstanding. Were some of his naval mishaps due to lack of discipline or lack of preparation? I don't know, could be. He was an effective senator, but people involved in senate goings-on tell me that he was always a show-boat, self-centered, and lacking self-discipline. His choice of VP and his campaign style bears out those observations. Intelligence does not always bring competence.
