The astounding ascendancy of Sarah Palin

I cannot for the life of me understand how this woman continues to be so popular, even to the point of dropping hints that she might run for President. I'm sure she's a nice enough lady, but President of the United States? You've got to be kidding me.

Have people forgotten when she ran with McCain? They hardly even let her speak because every time she opens her mouth something galactically ignorant flies out of it. She couldn't name a single Founding Father, can't recall one Supreme Court case beyond Roe vs. Wade, and thinks that we are allies with North Korea. Have we lost our minds? Why does anyone even care about her anymore? Her stupidity is legendary.

Can you imagine a race in which we have to choose between Obumbler and this idiot? These are serious times and we need a serious statesman (or woman) to represent us. Not fools that spend their time making reality shows or hamming it up on David Letterman. We need a real freaking President again.

It's astounding that to get just about any decent job your resume will be pored over, and employment can be won or lost by a line or even what stationary you use; yet to be President of the United States your curriculum vitae can be as thin as a pamphlet and just as shallow. We really, really can't find anyone better than the choices they have been giving us for years now? A chimp that can barely speak the English language, a community organizer that kisses the asses of tyrants and gives a collection of cheap plastic disks as a state gift to our dearest ally, and now we might get a small town mayor whose grasp of ...well, nearly everything beyond shooting moose and clubbing halibut to death, could be written on a post card?

Can we PLEASE have somebody to vote for that isn't a damn clown? Somebody that might actually have the intelligence and strength to not make us a laughingstock yet again and has even the most basic knowledge of economics, geography, and history? I don't even care what party they are from - just somebody, anybody who might actually make a respectable leader. This isn't friggin' American Idol.
