What SHOWS in Sarah Palin, be she a graduate or a drop out or a Rhodes Scholar, is that she did not learn very much and is "woefully uninformed" to the point that “She still didn’t really understand why there was a North Korea and a South Korea.”

Is that a Steve Schmidt quote you are using?

HEILEMANN: Her foreign policy tutors are literally taking her through, ‘this is World War I, this is World War II, this is the Korean War, this is the – how the Cold War worked, this is the new war on terror.’ They’re trying to teach her everything, because Steve Schmidt had gone to them and said, ‘she knows nothing.’ A week later, after the convention was over, she still didn’t really understand why there was a North Korea and a South Korea. She was still regularly saying that Saddam Hussein had been behind 9/11. And, literally, the next day, her son was about to ship off to Iraq. And when they asked her who her son was going to fight, she couldn’t explain that.

Regurgitating red meat to the faithful only goes so far.

A serious candiadate for the Presidency of the United States needs to have heard about the Yalta Conference in high school and not from her "foreign policy tutors" when she is running for the Vice Presidency of the United States.

We already have a disasterous Affirmative Action President. America will not stomach a second one in a row.

So to answer my question, the direct source that you are using to formulate your opinion is either Steve Schmidt or unnamed.

Think about it.
