Ok, I have been reading the transcript of the interview on ABC between Sarah Palin and Charlie Gibson and I am COMPLETELY FRUSTRATED.
Can I say that she OBVIOUSLY is an intellectual midget who does not know the first thing about what has been going on in our WORLD since who knows when. Of course, I'm not surprised now that I've foudn out that she just got a passport 2 weeks ago.
I'm floored. She knows nothing about Bush's policy, world relations. I'm just floored b/c she has the AUDACITY to be the leader of a U.S. STATE. Has she had her head in the sand for the last 8 years. She needs a simple world government class.
This is not about whether she is knowledgeable enough to be president, this is simply about whether she is knowledgeable enough to pass a World Government/Politics course. Probably not. Yet she calls herself a governor.
Take a read for yourself - notice that she never really answers any of the questions with the depth and insight that you would expect if she knew ANYTHING at all about world government. Heck, she didn't even know what Bush's 2002 strategy was. Then, when Charlie explained, she didn't even answer the question - b/c she didn't get it. The nuance was whether *preemption* should be our policy. She started talking about *imminent* threats. Clearly, if the threat is *imminent*, then this is not the case of preemption - which is what Charlie specifically asked about. I don't know. Maybe she doesn't know what preemption means. I'm not sure.
I'm frustrated. I'm an Obama supporter but geesh, McCain couldn't find anyone else? An intellectual midget indeed. Forget whether she is qualified to be VP or President. I'm starting to wonder if she's qualified to be governor. Somebody PLEEEEEEEASE get her a crash course in World Government.

Edited to Add: And I just found out that she went to 6 colleges in 6 years to get her Bachelor's. Maybe the World Government class slipped through the cracks with all that. She LOOKS so intelligent...until she opens her mouth. This is starting to feel real familiar.... (Bush 3?) I'm frustrated.
