"'To call you stupid would be an insult to stupid people. I've known sheep who could outwit you. I've worn dresses with higher IQs, but you think you're an intellectual, don't you, ape?'

This woman is making me soooooo tired, and angry! She hasn't answered one single question with a straight answer. She's the ultimate fembot spitting up random quotes they've been shoving down her throat the past few days. Original thought is her enemy, that can't be good...
Thank you.
I only saw the final 25% of the debate, give or take, thanks to a sick wife and a child reluctant to go to bed, but I was dismayed that Palin didn't do worse.
Yes, she evaded questions and often spat out canned lines that were clearly designed to give her talking points when she was put on the spot...but she didn't do anything obviously stupid.
That is, she showed enough poise, humor, personality and fake down-home goodness that I think many Americans won't realize how empty her answers were.
Instead of tanking, she's actually made herself look better in the wake of the disastrous media interviews she's done lately.
Granted, I'm basing this of the last several questions. Maybe she was more obviously stupid on the first 2/3 or 3/4 of the debate.
But if the earlier portions were anything like what I saw, she's probably helped herself, and done at least a little to cover up how unprepared she is for the job she's running for.
Just don't call her stupid.
The central message of Buddhism is not "every man for himself."
Those are mistakes... I looked them up. //c
It's probably somewhat inappropriate to quote CNN contributors around these parts, but I know you'll appreciate this from CNN Sr. Political Analyst Bill Schneider:
"Palin's answers do not lack confidence, they lack coherence."
Yowza.
