Wonder how many beauty pageants she's won. I've flushed better-looking turds down the toilet.

(CBS) When asked to characterize Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's qualifications to be the Republican vice presidential nominee, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., stated flatly that Palin isn’t ready to be vice president.
"She doesn't know anything," Wasserman Schultz said on CBS' Face The Nation, responding to a charge by a fellow guest, former Mass. Gov. Jane Swift, that Palin has been forced to undergo scrutiny in the media that some would characterize as sexist.
"There shouldn't be a double standard," Swift said. "We shouldn't ask of her questions about her ability to do the job that we wouldn't ask a guy in a similar circumstance.
"But I think that we also have to acknowledge that, because we've had so few women running for these high-level offices, although this is a great year on that front, that we're also not attuned to hearing women's voices and to seeing them in these positions.
"So it may be that we have to be most attuned to not having a double standard, to not asking any female candidate of either party to clear a bar that we wouldn't ask a male candidate in the same situation to clear."
Wasserman Schultz disagreed that Palin has had to meet an unfair standard.
"All Sarah Palin is being asked to respond to is whether she's up to the task," she said. "And it is absolutely fair game. And all I've seen is her being asked about her background, her experience, what qualifies her to be vice president, and whether she knows anything.
"So the tough questions that have been asked of Sarah Palin thus far just have been about the fact that she doesn't know anything and isn't ready to be vice president. That's fair game and it has nothing to do with her gender.
"You're saying she doesn't know anything, or you're saying that's what she's been asked about?" asked host Bob Schieffer.
"Well, she's been asked what she knows," Wasserman Schultz said. "She's been asked to demonstrate her foreign policy knowledge, which she clearly has very little, based on the Charlie Gibson interview. I mean, she didn't know what the Bush doctrine was. She really had almost no grasp of America's foreign policy. She really knew very little about domestic policy.
"Quite honestly, the interview that I saw and that Americans saw on Thursday and Friday were similar to when I didn't read a book in high school and had to read the Cliff Notes and phone in my report. She's 'Cliff-Noted' her performance so far. And all of that is fair game. The American people deserve better than that."
When asked of Palin's qualifications as governor for the number two spot, Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Tex,(left), said her foreign policy credentials were less important.
"I think what we're looking for and what the McCain-Palin ticket is talking about is changing the way Washington works. And she does have experience in that for sure.
"She has shaken up Alaska politics. And she has an instinct about reform and ethics that's very, very strong that people in this country are looking for.
"So I think to say that, well, she has very low depth of foreign policy experience - name one governor who has become president who has had in-depth foreign policy experience.
"The fact of the matter is, John McCain has vast foreign policy experience, and he's the candidate for president," said Hutchison.
However, another Governor, Democrat Janet Napolitano of Arizona, said that in the discussion of Palin's credentials it was John McCain's qualifications that were the issue.
"He chose Sarah Palin because she's going to support those views," Napolitano said. "And that's why she shouldn't be the vice president."

You scared my dog!
I don’t recall any media questioning the ambulance chaser and rat VP candidate John Edwards about foreign policy.
Turd is so correct. She is on the same moral and ethical plane as Wexler. Toilets must be cleaning up nicely now, since so much has been scraped out. Don’t think, for a minute, that Americans don’t see these pieces of excrement for what they really are.
It’s absolutely a double standard. And no one asked him about foreign policy experience when he was running for President, either. And why wasn’t the MSM “vetting” his personal life?
HIS IS ONE OF THE DUMBEST REMARKS I'VE EVER HEARD!!!!!
But the logic gem of the morning comes from professor Gov. Napolitano:
"[McCain] chose Sarah Palin because she's going to support [his] views," Napolitano said. "And that's why she shouldn't be the vice president."
Holy crap! Is anybody paying attention?
Her district is adjacent to mine. We have some of the most despicable RATs in the House right here in south Florida...Wasserman-Slutz, Buckwheat Hastings and Bobby Wexluh. The only difference between her and them is that so far she hasn’t been caught doing anything illegal or unethical. Shouldn’t be too long, though, because she loves the spotlight and will slip up sooner or later.
Sarah at least knows her last name. Apparently Wasserman Schultz can't make up her mind. Ditz!
She cites “Palin didn’t know the Bush Doctrine”. LOL. What a fool. GIBSON didn’t know the answer to Palin’s very sensible question when Gibson asked about the Bush Doctrine: She asked Charlie: “What part?”.
This wAsserman-Shultz is the one unworthy being in public service. What an evil “lady”

And she knows this how?
And so what?
Who cares what this POS say?
May you and your jounalism career swirl gracefully down the nearest public toilet.
If FR weren’t running as if it were on a 300 baud modem, I’d comment further and probably get myself banned.
Someone should be looking at Ms. Wasserman schultz’ own pork plugs.
How much has she sought for a light rail project her constituents voted down? (and STILL pushing?)
She is in a blue zone in a red state. For her this race is about personal power. She has hooked her political fortunes on a Pelosi majority.
Palin proves she is not that special or a sponkesman for women.
Is Wasserman-Shultz a loi'ya? Most those rats that make me want to spew are.
What would this country be like today if we'd banned lawyers from serving in Congress? Or maybe just Northeast liberal law school graduates? Answer: there'd be so much more freedom we wouldn't know what to do with it.
They could have done a LOT better methinks!

Guess I’ll have to send Wassername a post asking about B.O.’s qualifications.
(oh....and perhaps her own!)
