Palin makes it too damn easy

I really need to make a new FAIL icon with this woman incorporated somehow.

Sarah Palin's version of Paul Revere's Midnight Ride.

I know "the winners write the history books," but I'm pretty sure Palin doesn't even know what a history book looks like.

Then again, I guess she never reads books if she reads "all" newspapers.

Never took a history class if she can't name a single Supreme Court case.

It's like she's from another planet, let alone another country. Only an extraterrestrial creature would run for the most important position in a country's goverment and not know anything about that country or government.

I know that many Americans would have trouble passing the citizenship test given to immigrants, but I don't think she'd get *one* question right.

...well, she'd probably get the colors of the US flag right, but that's it.

i've been horrified by this woman since mccain hand-picked her, and i still don't understand how she can be so self-satisfied that she thinks it's ok to run for office while being deeply, willfully ignorant. remember tina fey impersonating her and saying, "and now for some fancy pageant walking"? i think palin thinks she has all she needs, just by having been pretty all her life and parroting some party lines. it's tragic that she's so well-liked by so many, really.

She's just horrible. There are so many smart women out there who couldn't hope to run fror President, yet this woman gets extremely close and for no discernible reason.

It's a telling sign when people remember stuff Tina Fey said in an impersonation (like "I can see Russia from my house") and it's in no way out-of-character and people can see Palin saying these things because what actually comes out of her mouth is close enough.

I work at the Paul Revere House. The clip of Palin discussing him makes me weep. Or at least cringe a lot.

It's really attrocious and inexcusable. You'd think someone would make her brush up on her basic US/colonial history considering where she was visiting! Or heck, Billy Madison her ass and make her take grades 1-12 all over again.

Okay, I'm Canadian, and have made no deep study of American history, but even I know better than this! Sheesh! :-)))

It's really pathetic! She makes women everywhere look bad. Actually pretty much any group she's a part of, she makes them look bad.
