Right, we need more deep thinkers like Barry.
You understand that this is a Conservative site and that we don't put stock in left-wing political commentary?
The comments following that review are fascinating!
The gist of the Reason article you referenced (and comments that followed) is that Palin is unqualified because she is both stupid and hasn’t paid her dues as a foot-soldier in the political establishment.
Indeed she may not be a genius, but in the interviews I’ve listened to, she is glib enough...none of the aaahs, ummms, or long pauses between sentences that I’ve heard from the president.
As for not working her way up through the political establishment, I see this as a plus. People long in politics (Washington insiders) become just as limited in their thinking as the folks in SF who won’t read her book, except in a different way. That’s why the Republican Party is in the fix it is.
