Yeah. Obama read all those books. Right. I hear he also saw Elvis a few years ago at an IHOP. It's about as believable.
Judging Palin unfit because of how she answered "What do you read?" -- not by providing a carefully honed list, as the NYT asked and accepted of Obama, but by stating impromptu verbally off-the-cuff while cameras are running --using that as a means to judge Palin's value is elitist and very naively stupid. If you think that answer would tell you anything more than how good that person is ala Eddie Haskell at schmoozing easily-impressed saps, then you ain't been out much and you've probably been bamboozled by con artists a lot more than you know.

Last night I was reading and interview with Frederick Smith (Founder/CEO of FedEx) and wouldn't ya know it! They asked him what books he's been reading lately. It seems to be a fairly common question. That guy is quite interesting. I don't know much about his politics, other than that he served on the McCain campaign, but there's a guy with a resume of achievement.
Yale, Marine Corps, founder of Fedex. Impressive.
