Perhaps :yes: But Byrd's not the person he's being compared to.

 :biggrin: Apparently she's even dumber than most of us thought:

http://www.cnn.com/2010/OPINION/02/11/roland.martin.palin/index.html?hpt=T2

Quote. . .When it was reported that President Obama's chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, told a group of liberals that they were "f-----g retards" for threatening to run ads against fellow Democrats who weren't jumping on the health care reform bandwagon, Palin demanded his resignation.

As the mother of a child with Down syndrome, Palin has often used her bully pulpit to demand respect for the mentally challenged. Nothing wrong with that. It is an issue that is close to her heart, and she should be a fierce advocate for them.

Yet when one of her biggest supporters, conservative radio talk-show host Rush Limbaugh, also castigated liberals by calling them "retards," Palin provided him cover, even trying to explain away his comments.

In an interview with Fox News Channel's Chris Wallace, she said Limbaugh was using satire, while Emanuel was blasting those who disagree with him. But anyone who can read or listen could hear Limbaugh calling folks he disagrees with the same. Palin even went further, agreeing with Limbaugh that liberals are "kooks."

So Emanuel and Limbaugh used the word "retard" to describe folks they disagree with, but only Rahm was wrong? Yep, that's how it is in Palin's world. The advocate for the mentally challenged was quick to pounce on someone she disagrees with politically but defended her patron saint, Rush.

Sarah, when you hold yourself up as a fierce protector of the mentally challenged, politics shouldn't enter into the equation. Either you criticize everyone who uses a word that you consider a slur, or you come across as a crass politician who is afraid to offend your chief booster. . .

Hey Sarah, yeah the POTUS may use a teleprompter, but at least he knows how to use one.

You on the other hand, prefer to utilize your hand as a crib sheet, just as you did in grammar school.

Which practice do you think best befits the Chief Executive Officer of a Nation?  :biggrin:

For those of you who keep trying to use "polls" as a representation of the true path of America, here's one for you.

Quote

As Sarah Palin marks her birthday, a new national poll indicates that 7 out of 10 Americans feel that she is not qualified to be president.

According to an ABC News/Washington Post survey, 71 percent of the public say the former Alaska governor is not qualified to serve in the White House, with 26 percent saying the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee is qualified to be president. The 26 percent who say Palin is qualified is down 12 points from an ABC News/Washington Post poll from November. . .

I can honestly say, Henry, that my most fervent hope is that Sarah Paliin runs for President.

I will get months of entertainment out of that, watching her embarrass herself continually and NOT EVEN KNOW IT!!!

Actually, I don't even get upset at her any more -- she is simply comic relief.

That is one way to make sure that the current POTUS gets elected to his second term.

Run Sarah, Run!

Please do, because if the indicators are correct, it should assure a second term for Obama if he chooses to run.

That incident is a teller.  Can she actually be that naive (I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt  :biggrin:  ) as to think after all the crap she and the RW have spewed about Obama and teleprompters that she wouldn't be under intense scrutiny any time she gives a speech/public commentary?

Why do people think she's prez material when she only has a second rate communications degree, while Obama has a poly-sci BA from Columbia and a JD (Magna Cum Laude) from Harvard, as well as being a law professor at University of Chicago Law School and they continually claim he's not qualified. 

Is it because she was Governor of a state whose entire population is less than the city of Indianapolis?

I mean, come on, really.
