..... a few days ago. What a joke. Hannity threw her the biggest beach balls to hit - vague, platitudinous, home cooking up the arse. You guys think Obama shows no clear understanding of things, this idiot can't hold a candle to him.

Please run her in 2012, Conks!


"Duh, well, um....Go America!!"

I saw her book on sale the other day for $4. Priced strategically just above a pair of presto logs.

It is a troubling feature of modern America that many people (including members of the media) will wholeheartedly support a politician who espouses political views compatible with their own, without regard to the politician's competence. Palin is a lightweight; the second coming of Dan Quayle. If you believe in Palin's ideas, you should still seek a better candidate.

However, liberal Democrats do this too. Al Franken is a flip-side example.

Yeah, except for that Harvard Political Science degree with honors, career as a political satirist/best selling author, and election to a national office over an entrenched incumbent.


I agree there are political lightweights on both sides of the aisle, but Franken is not a good example to compare with Palin.

Palin and Plumber fans are broadcasting their own low IQs for all to see, unbeknown to them of course.

What a bunch of hayseeds.

kalm has the better side of that argument: Franken is smarter than Palin. I nominate young Beau Biden in place of Franken: failed DE bar exam two or three times, but got elected AG anyway on the basis of name recognition. Beau was on the national news for about 15 seconds over the weekend in a segment about the downstate pedophile pediatrician, and he was an absolute embarrassment.

Since we all agree that our last great president was Ronald Reagan , I thought I'd do a little comparison:

Obama - Columbia University & Harvard Law School
Bush Jr. - Yale University & Harvard Business School
Clinton - Georgetown University, Oxford & Yale Law School
Bush Sr. - Yale University
Reagan - Eureka College

The common denominator amongst all these recent FAILED presidents?

An IVY LEAGUE EDUCATION!!!!!!



And, thus by definition, Franken is a FINE example of a lightweight politician.

Ivytalk and Cleets, you two are NO longer allowed an opinion.

A lightweight is often dumb, but there are plenty of lightweights who have some intellectual heft. Franken is one. Franken's not nearly as smart as he thinks he is. He thinks he can hide behind his natural intelligence and avoid heavy lifting. Time and again during his short term, he has opened his big mouth and left it for his staffers to clean up the mess for him. Here's a prediction: Franken will never author any significant piece of legislation, no matter how many times he might be elected to the Senate.

Good points. And to reference Z's above post, I believe at one point, Reagan was considered a political lightweight. So lightweights can evolve and become heavyweights.

You could also make a case that part of the problem with the senate especially and our government in general is that there are too many heavyweights.

Difference being, Reagan had a brainstem....Franken does not.

The kind that don't have an Ivy League Education, and would get a kick out of your avitar and sig.

Then again, one of the schools Palin attended is the Yale of the Sourthern Palouse:

To that, I offer the witty repartee to which my Harvard pedigree entitles me.

Bite me.

Let's not get carried away now. I said "Southern" Palouse.

Fine, since neither Spokane nor Cheney are technically IN the Palouse.

True, Franken might surprise me, but right now, he just seems content to lob barbs at his political opponents, cause controversy, and be a reliable "yes" vote for his party's legislation. Too bad, because if he really tried, he could achieve a lot more than being the latest "must see" clever barb on youtube.

I'm not sure there is a "technical" geographic boundary, but according to the Book "Palouse a Land and its People" , Cheney is in the northern palouse.

You may be right. Speaking of which:
