The next day, at a convention of Southern Republicans, Palin scratched back, poking fun at Obama for "all the vast experience that he acquired as a community organizer."Sure she was. In the half-term gov.'s world, fifteen mos. as President & Commander-in-Chief isn't long enough to learn anything. After all, it took her several yrs. at five different institutions of higher learning not to learn anything.
If there were any doubts that Sarah Palin is a total idiot, she settled them with that single statement.
Was the former half-term governor of Alaska really claiming that the president of the United States has no more experience on nuclear matters than she does?
Lest we forget, Newton Leroy Gingrich has a Ph.D.in history from Tulane. It took him 10 yrs. not to learn anything.
One thing Newt does know is damning w/ faint praise.
"She's attractive, she's articulate, she has energy," Gingrich continued in the interview set to air Sunday on CNN's State of The Union. "Watch the size of her crowds…And I think whether that translates into something bigger later or whether she's just a very significant person for the rest of her life, she is a real player, nobody should underestimate her."Does that sound sexist? Keep her in her niche on the tee vee? Does the Republican version of feminism say that the highest position a woman can aspire to is Oprah, just more reactionary? Where are the angry PUMAs to condemn this affront to womanhood?
Gingrich also said Palin's prominence in the Republican Party will continue, regardless of whether she decides to mount a presidential bid in 2012.
"I think she has the potential to fill a niche for a very long time, particularly in an age of cable television and talk radio when you can build your particular market and your audience, and they can love you and come to your meetings and do things with you, and she's done, I think the last couple months she's been very impressive," he said.
