3) She didn't know what the vice-president did, when asked in an interview.
4) She couldn't name a single magazine or newspaper that she read regularly, when asked.
5) She was unable to name a Supreme Court decision that she disagreed with, other than Roe vs Wade.
6) She thought that the Democrats wanted to set up 'death panels' to kill off unproductive people instead of providing them with health care
7) She brought her family to Canada for health care services, while simultaneously describing that system as evil. For me, it isn't so much her incredible hyprocrisy, as much as her complete idiocy in admitting it in an interview.
8) Her knowledge of world affairs is so limited that she thought that North Korea was an ally.
9) Her knowledge of the US is so limited that she thinks the biggest island in the US is in Alaska. I guess Hawaii doesn't count.
10) Her memory is so short that she has to write notes to herself on her palm.
I could go on, but the essence of it is that she is a laughing stock. She is simply embarrassing.
All of the above have sources if any are in doubt. What is funny is that we could probably all come up with our personal 10 best Sarah Palin moments, and there would be little overlap, because there is just so much material to draw from.

Nice list! Palin was a huge disappointment and I mean HUGE. When I first heard that McCain had chosen her I thought it was quite cagy of him. Of course I didn't know anything about her. Then she started talking and that was bad. I don't think McCain had a snowball's chance in hell of winning the election, or any Republican for that matter, but Palin was the last nail in the coffin.
I do think the media is extra hard on her but she doesn't acquit herself very well when opportunities arise and she just continues to make herself an easy target. I'm not saying she's a beauty queen but I think that her relative good looks is part of the fascination with her, both positive and negative. I think if she was more "average" looking, whatever that might be, she'd have faded into obscurity long ago. That's just the reality of our media and our world.
Sorry for the sidetrack about Palin. Obama still sucks. :nanana:
