I don’t understand how it is an “attack” to offer one’s opinion on the electability of a particular politician.

When dealing with Sarah Palin infatuation, you are dealing with a Cult of Personality.

The object of adoration must not be challenged in any way as that constitutes an "attack". Instead of discussing practical matters such as electability or qualifications, all discussion must be nothing but ceaseless praise of the object of adoration.

Even the cold hard realities of the Planet Earth (see Post 29) seem to have absolutely no effect upon the members of the Cult of Personality.

What matters is the endless worship.

They would rather see Barack Hussein Obama guaranteed reelection as President in 2012 rather than admit that their object of adoration would make some of the least informed posters on Free Republic in 2008 look like geopolitical experts by comparison.

"Palin couldn't explain why North Korea and South Korea were separate nations. ..... Asked to identify the enemy that her son would be fighting in Iraq, she drew a blank. Later, on the plane, Palin said to her team: 'I wish I'd paid more attention to this stuff'."

Quoting a book by John Heilemann and Mark Halperin?? LOL

I read the article. It was the first time I’ve ever seen it, so thank you for providing it. It seemed like complete doggerel to me. The only part that made my hairs stand on end was where the author alleges that she couldn’t remember Biden’s name and asked if she could call him Joe because of that. Given that he’s been in office for decades, I find that hard to believe. Truth is that to most, Republicans as well as Democrats, Biden is a monument to stupidity. We’ve all heard entirely too much from him. I don’t mind saying that these days, with all that’s going on in Libya and Japan, its a blessing that none of us has heard him bray a single time. I am very conscious of this blessing and thanking heaven for that small mercy.

But again, thank you for the link. If that’s all that you’re basing your fairly low opinion of her on, I would counsel you to check out her petroleum bona fides.

Hey troll, relying on Steve Schmidt, John Heilemann, and Mark Halperin for your source material is pretty stupid.
