Kissinger Most Expensive Baby Sitter Ever

To be fair to Palin, a lot of people are assuming she doesn't know much about the economy or foreign policy, but just because she hasn't dealt with it directly, doesn't mean she isn't knowledgeable. While I don't fancy myself Vice-Presidential material, I do think that even though I've never been in elected office or have a degree, I can still string a sentence together on pertinent issues.

I'm sure Palin has at least basic knowledge of the national issues at stake (just like most Republican politicians), and so the "soft bigotry of low expectations," can only help her in the coming weeks. Given that Republican ideas are generally formulated by a select group of pre-schoolers high on glue, its not that hard to remember GOP talking points. Taxes bad, spending bad, liberals bad.
