What is unreasonable is, say, suggesting that one must graduate from a particular set of Universities in order to be widely read and well-educated.

No one said she had to graduate from a specific set of universities. One does not have to even graduate college to be well-educated and well-read. It's what's in the person's mind, not the paper that counts.

It is also unreasonable to suggest that a college graduate, entrepreneur, former mayor, commissioner, and Governor is not widely read or well-educated.

Sorry, but none of those things guarantee education or wide reading. I've none complete known complete ignoramouses who somehow managed to graduate from Harvard, and history is replete with those who somehow managed to get elected to high political office.

What's important is what's in a person's head, not on her resume, and I'm sorry to say that Palin's interviews and speaches don't reveal the mind of an individual who is particularly knowledgeable or even curious about political philosophy, economics, or world affairs.

From your posts on this thread so far, Sarah Palin sure has more in her mind than you do.

WHT you talking about?
“Wide reading”?
Oh wait, like Karl Marx and “Das Kapital”, Mao's “Little Red Book”, Comrade Kim Il Sung's writings, Malcolm X's writings, and all the good old Alsinki crap?
Cause those are the kinds of “wide redaings” that our current Commander In Cheif” got from Bill Ayers and his other extremist pals, when he was growing up as young man.

That makes abut as much sense as one of the usual mindless talk we usually get from Joy Baher.
A person's experience and his resume is separate from what is in his head?
If someone has been running an oil rig in Alaska for years, that knowledge is part of his resume, but is somehow not in head?
I'll take the experience of someone who has been an entrepreneur, former mayor, commissioner, and Governor is over an ex-community organizer from Harvard, with ZERO business or executive experience, any day. It's the idiots from Harvard that landed us in this sorry mess of out of control debts.
