It was not Palin's fault that she was woefully unprepared to be the Republican vice presidential nominee. For that one, blame the petulant, impetuous John McCain.
But Palin has had ample time now, outside the crash course of a presidential campaign, to develop and exhibit some understanding of the issues. Her learning curve, from all the available evidence, is a flat line.
Three unattractive Palin traits have, if anything, been amplified since the election: her unwillingness to buckle down and do the necessary preparation; her tendency to adopt what McCain adviser Steve Schmidt described as a "down is up and up is down" version of reality; and her enhanced sense of injury at the hands of what she oh so cleverly refers to as the "lamestream media."...
"There were numerous instances that she said things that were . . . not accurate," Schmidt said on CBS's "60 Minutes" in January. "And I think that that is something that continues to this day." Indeed.

Here is how amazingly stupid Obama and his team really are.
When this oil leak in the gulf first occurred, I told my sweetie “If Obama wasn’t such a self-important putz, he would phone the former gov of Alaska and ask her to oversee the project, given her acumen on this issue.” I also told him I expected to see pigs fly first.
What was my reasoning? Remember, I’m saying this from Obama’s perspective:
First off, it is such a mess, if it can’t be resolved, it would be her fault, essentially neutering her as a competent executive.
But more importantly, if she is operating (as her patriotic duty and nothing more) under the invitation of the President, he would have essentially put a roll of duct tape over her mouth. That means, during this whole pre-election period leading to November, she would have had to keep her powder dry. No traveling to rallies in the lower 48, raising money, giving speeches, endorsing candidates. And no weekly Facebook missives.
LOL
Who knows if she would have agreed to it. There are many people in this country that take their patriotism, their duty as citizen seriously enough, that they are willing to put their politics aside, in order to help their nation.
We’ll never know.
Facts are stubborn things. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, the McCain campaign — that would be the McCain-Palin campaign — received $2.4 million from oil and gas interests to Obama’s $900,000. BP employees did give more to the Obama campaign ($71,051) than to McCain’s ($36,649), but this was a pittance in the context of Obama’s fundraising.
There are fair questions about the administration’s handling of the spill. There is not a fair question about whether campaign cash put Obama in BP’s pocket. Not that this matters to Palin.”
***********
And why would that not be a fair question Ruth????? Because $75,000 in contributions in your book is a pittance; therefore, questions concerning any conflicts in the messiah’s mind are off limits? I mean, by now our oceans, air and terra firma should all pretty well be healed.....right? After all its been 17 months since the anointed one has appeared with healing in his wings.
All that Sarah has done is question the glaring incompetence of your saviour and for that reason alone you now consider to be insightful the worst campaign manager in history. Schmidt is doing nothing more than attempting to pass blame for his own non-stop campaign stupidity and you’re there to lend a helping hand every stumbling, bumbling step of the way.
She says:
“Call me when a Democratic nominee for a Senate seat questions the Civil Rights Act and liberal commentators drop the ball.”
And then doesn’t give us a phone number.
Like for Byrd, Gore daddy, and most of the rest of the dems who rabidly opposed the Civil Rights act. Long term selective memory loss and hypocrisy in mega doses here.
Did she not say there were 3 things about Palin that bugged her? I only see 2 - the Rand Paul question and the BP contributions to each campaign. What is the third?
You’re the one that posted this leftist moonbat drivel, noob moby who joined FR a week ago. Where do you get off questioning the conservatism of an 8-year FReeper?
- JP
ra, since you are supposedly a newbie here, let me ‘splain a FReeper tradition.
Barf alerts are NOT automatic. If the article you’re about to post makes you want to barf, you put a barf alert in the headline.
And on the posting page, you put the source of the article in the source box, not the author’s name.
Ruth Marcus is a democrat hag who’s filled with hate and very jealous of Sarah Palin, but I think you already knew that...lol.
SHE, (Sarah,) is a she who can set the presses rolling by a mere utterance or three word post on Twitter and this pos is a she wannabe who can’t get the presses rolling with a full volume of insane lib rants.
Bitter, jealous twit.
Post 49. LOL
I'm really hurt -- this means Ruth hasn't been reading my posts here on FR and other forums, as I've been using the moniker since 1999.
Beware.

Oh, this would have been brilliant!! I'm glad you didn't have 0bama's ear, Daisyjane! ;)
Blah, blah, blah...Palin’s not prepared and unqualified...blah, blah, blah...
Congratulations Ruth Marcus, you just proved yourself the worlds largest idiot.
A re-tread, huh? So which Palin attacker been banned recently?
Dear Ruth Marcus,
Since you seem incapable of rational factual debate I thought I would address you in the same ad hominem gutter slime debate tactics you delight in publishing.
You swine. You vulgar little maggot. Don’t you know that you are pathetic? You worthless bag of filth. As we say in Texas, I’ll bet you couldn’t pour piss out of a boot with instructions on the heel. You are a canker. A sore that won’t go away. I would rather kiss a lawyer than be seen with you.
You are a fiend and a coward, and you have bad breath. You are degenerate, noxious and depraved. I feel debased just for knowing you exist. I despise everything about you. You are a bloody nardless newbie twit protohominid chromosomally aberrant caricature of a coprophagic cloacal parasitic pond scum and I wish you would go away.
You’re a putrescence mass, a walking vomit. You are a spineless little worm deserving nothing but the profoundest contempt. You are a jerk, a cad, a weasel. Your life is a monument to stupidity. You are a stench, a revulsion, a big suck on a sour lemon.
You are a bleating fool, a curdled staggering mutant dwarf smeared richly with the effluvia and offal accompanying your alleged birth into this world. An insensate, blinking calf, meaningful to nobody, abandoned by the puke-drooling, giggling beasts who sired you and then killed themselves in recognition of what they had done.
I will never get over the embarrassment of belonging to the same species as you. You are a monster, an ogre, a malformity. I barf at the very thought of you. You have all the appeal of a paper cut. Lepers avoid you. You are vile, worthless, less than nothing. You are a weed, a fungus, the dregs of this earth. And did I mention you smell?
If you aren’t an idiot, you made a world-class effort at simulating one. Try to edit your writing of unnecessary material before attempting to impress us with your insight. The evidence that you are a nincompoop will still be available to readers, but they will be able to access it more rapidly.
You snail-skulled little rabbit. Would that a hawk pick you up, drive its beak into your brain, and upon finding it rancid set you loose to fly briefly before spattering the ocean rocks with the frothy pink shame of your ignoble blood. May you choke on the queasy, convulsing nausea of your own trite, foolish beliefs.
You are weary, stale, flat and unprofitable. You are grimy, squalid, nasty and profane. You are foul and disgusting. You’re a fool, an ignoramus. Monkeys look down on you. Even sheep won’t have sex with you. You are unreservedly pathetic, starved for attention, and lost in a land that reality forgot.
And what meaning do you expect your delusionally self-important statements of unknowing, inexperienced opinion to have with us? What fantasy do you hold that you would believe that your tiny-fisted tantrums would have more weight than that of a leprous desert rat, spinning rabidly in a circle, waiting for the bite of the snake?
You are a waste of flesh. You have no rhythm. You are ridiculous and obnoxious. You are the moral equivalent of a leech. You are a living emptiness, a meaningless void. You are sour and senile. You are a disease, you puerile one-handed slack-jawed drooling meatslapper.
On a good day you’re a half-wit. You remind me of drool. You are deficient in all that lends character. You have the personality of wallpaper. You are dank and filthy. You are asinine and benighted. You are the source of all unpleasantness. You spread misery and sorrow wherever you go.
I cannot believe how incredibly stupid you are. I mean rock-hard stupid. Dehydrated-rock-hard stupid. Stupid so stupid that it goes way beyond the stupid we know into a whole different dimension of stupid. You are trans-stupid stupid. Meta-stupid. Stupid collapsed on itself so far that even the neutrons have collapsed. Stupid gotten so dense that no intellect can escape. Singularity stupid. Blazing hot mid-day sun on Mercury stupid. You emit more stupid in one second than our entire galaxy emits in a year. Quasar stupid. Your writing has to be a troll. Nothing in our universe can really be this stupid. Perhaps this is some primordial fragment from the original big bang of stupid. Some pure essence of a stupid so uncontaminated by anything else as to be beyond the laws of physics that we know. I’m sorry. I can’t go on. This is an epiphany of stupid for me. After this, you may not hear from me again for a while. I don’t have enough strength left to deride your ignorant questions and half baked comments about unimportant trivia, or any of the rest of this drivel. Duh.
The only thing worse than your logic is your manners. I have snipped away most of what you wrote, because, well... it didn’t really say anything. Your attempt at constructing a creative flame was pitiful. I mean, really, stringing together a bunch of insults among a load of babbling was hardly effective... Maybe later in life, after you have learned to read, write, spell, and count, you will have more success. True, these are rudimentary skills that many of us “normal” people take for granted that everyone has an easy time of mastering. But we sometimes forget that there are “challenged” persons in this world who find these things more difficult. If I had known, that this was your case then I would have never read your post. It just wouldn’t have been “right”. Sort of like parking in a handicap space. I wish you the best of luck in the emotional, and social struggles that seem to be placing such a demand on you.
P.S.: You are hypocritical, greedy, violent, malevolent, vengeful, cowardly, deadly, mendacious, meretricious, loathsome, despicable, belligerent, opportunistic, barratrous, contemptible, criminal, fascistic, bigoted, racist, sexist, avaricious, tasteless, idiotic, brain-damaged, imbecilic, insane, arrogant, deceitful, demented, lame, self-righteous, byzantine, conspiratorial, satanic, fraudulent, libelous, bilious, splenetic, spastic, ignorant, clueless, illegitimate, harmful, destructive, dumb, evasive, double-talking, devious, revisionist, narrow, manipulative, paternalistic, fundamentalist, dogmatic, idolatrous, unethical, cultic, diseased, suppressive, controlling, restrictive, malignant, deceptive, dim, crazy, weird, dystopic, stifling, uncaring, plantigrade, grim, unsympathetic, jargon-spouting, censorious, secretive, aggressive, mind-numbing, arassive, poisonous, flagrant, self-destructive, abusive, socially-retarded, puerile, clueless, and generally Not Good.
I Hope This Helps...
