Imus said Sarah Palin is a nice person, but thinks it is a "horrifying thought" that she could be the GOP Nominee in 2012. Imus said she is a "dope" who governed a state with "90 people and a polar bear."
Imus, along with liberals/communists & pubbie elitists either simply don't get it or fear Sarah so much for the possibility she would return America to her free market greatness.
“Imus said Sarah Palin is a nice person, but thinks it is a ‘horrifying thought’ that she could be the GOP Nominee in 2012. Imus said she is a ‘dope’ who governed a state with ‘90 people and a polar bear.’”
A couple of thoughts: first, I think Imus is pretty funny most of the time (at least, he beats both Letterman and Leno in that department). Second, Palin (who I greatly admire) created the “dope” image herself. In light of her interviews last Fall, it is appropriate for Americans to think she has a considerable burden to demonstrate that she has the intellectual wherewithal to be President.
For myself, I think Palin’s instincts and common sense are generally very good. I also think she is better than Obama in every category, including intellect; but “better than Obama” is a very low hurdle. In light of Obama’s cultish following (not entirely unlike some of Palin’s following), it will likely take a lot more than just “better than Obama” to defeat Obama in 2012. Palin needs to show us she can do that job.
