Is Sarah Palin really this fuckin' stupid?

[Palehorse]

Another example of said behavior ...

"In March, she came roaring out when President Obama joked on late night TV that his bowling skills were like the Special Olympics.

Palin wasn't wrong about the inappropriateness of the remark, for which the president apologized to the Special Olympics before the segment aired. But were her objections primarily those of a wounded mother -- or those of a heat-seeking politician? Will we be hearing from Palin every time someone uses the R-word or makes a lame joke?

Well, no, not every time. When Rush Limbaugh used "retard," suggesting a "retard summit" at the White House, it was "satirical," Palin recently explained to her Fox News colleague, Chris Wallace. When Emanuel used it, it was name-calling. It isn't clear whether Palin considered Rush's memorable mimicry of Michael J. Fox's "fake" Parkinson's disease symptoms another demonstration of satire or mere hideous cruelty.

Given that Palin obviously made an excuse for Limbaugh, whose stab at humor was nothing resembling satire, means that her "teachable moment" via Emanuel was really using her child as a political tool."

And another:

At event with a large number of 'empty seats,' Palin mocks the 'little Twittering thing.'

Sarah Palin Former Alaska governor and Fox News analyst Sarah Palin spoke to a crowd of Republican Party activists in Arkansas yesterday, where she lavished praise on the Tea Party movement and played down speculation that she might run for president in 2012. She also then mocked Twitter:

    When she was asked what she believed was the number one threat to America today, several audience members shouted, "Obama!"

    Arkansas Republican Party Chairman Doyle Webb, who moderated the Q&A session, responded by adding, "Besides Obama."

    Palin then chimed in as many in the crowd laughed.

    "See, they said that, I didn't," she said. "Just you watch now, too, because somebody will be here with their little Twittering thing, and it's going to be on the Internet any minute now."

It's unclear what Palin has against the "little Twittering thing," considering she is also on Twitter (@SarahPalinUSA) and has actually been noted for supposed new media saviness. Last night's event in Little Rock's 18,000-seat Verizon Arena had a significant number of empty seats. In fact, fewer than half the seats "in the lower bowl were occupied, and the entire upper level was shrouded by black drapes." In the hours before the Palin event, "the Arkansas GOP was advertising on its web site a heavily discounted '$20 ticket special.'"

No while I may agree in basis that this thing is being somewhat fueled by the media, I submit that anyone with any kind of matter what-so-ever between their ears would recognize it and react accordingly. But not the attention whore! She just keeps gong, and going, and going. . . .

you show me a candidate that is doing ANYTHING any different than she is.....

she is being diasected and trashed....by the media.

I'm sure this whole fiasco is going to go on and on and on for a long time now....

I wonder why the loony bitch is complaining about Twitter when this very thread sprung out of something she had on her own Twitter page.

... maybe she's got too many eons and ions floatin' 'round where her brain should be.

Yep! I found that fact quite ironic!

Back to the SAT score comparison ...

Henry thought it was OK to 'extrapolate' the IQ of Bush from his SAT scores.

Here is an article that 'extrapolates' the SAT score for Palin based on the first and last college (of five) she attended ...

"Palin went to five universities in six years to get a four year degree.

Her first college, Hawaii Pacific University, has average SAT scores which show their average student is less intelligent than the average person.
While the average score is 500 on each of the two SAT categories, verbal and math, HPU's average scores are:
Average SAT scores: V 487 M 488 (Source: http://www.collegeprofiles.com/hawaiipacific.htm)

Then, for reasons which are not disclosed, she withdrew and enrolled in a series of schools over six years before finally graduating from University of Idaho with a Bachelors of Science. The average SAT scores from U of I are:

University of Idaho

549 Verbal
559 Math
23 ACT "

And this has what to do with anything?  This is an assumption not an actual score.

And this has what to do with anything?  This is an assumption not an actual score. 

Oh? But it was OK for Henry to post an assumption of Bush's IQ score?

Hypocrisy knows no bounds!

[me]

 

Bush scored 1206 on his SAT, putting his IQ in the 125-130 range, smarter than 95% of the population and in the company of Lincoln, Rousseau, and Thackeray. He graduated from Yale and earned an MBA from Harvard. Obama earned a law degree from Harvard, but has not released any of his academic records. Despite what you might have heard, we know nothing of his IQ, test scores, or grades from any of the schools he attended.

"Bush scored 1206 on his SAT, putting his IQ in the 125-130 range"

And this is not an assumption of Bush's IQ score???

Please try to keep up.

Does it say "this is an assumption or estimate of what we think Bush's IQ score is or was"?

Does it say "this is an assumption or estimate of what we think Bush's IQ score is or was"?

It is an assumption based on an average correlation of IQ and SAT scores. It is in NO WAY a fact.

What?????  Isn't that what everyone is trying to do with Sarah Palin without even knowing what her SAT scores really are?
