How dumb is Pinocchio Palin.  Pretty darn dumb.  Her latest remark about McSame's health plan should prove that she is unfit as governor and completely unfit and unqualified for the vice presidency.

 

Even middle school students studying civics and basic economics probably know more than Palindrone who attended five colleges in six years before she finally graduated.

 

Here is her latest illogical, intelligence challenged comment from Wonk Room:

"As health care issues heat up on the campaign trail, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) can't seem to get his plan straight. Last Sunday, the senator admitted that his health care plan would increase taxes. On Friday, the campaign inadvertently called McCain a liar. And yesterday, in an interview with a local NBC affiliate in Florida, Gov. Sarah Palin again disagreed with McCain and explained that their health care plan "doesn't increase anyone's taxes":

Q: Obama campaign calls Sen. McCain's health care plan radical. That there could be a chance your Medicare could be in dander if not taxed then in some way cut. Explain John McCain's health care plan.

PALIN: Maybe it's radical because we don't want the government to control it all we want the private sector we want through competition for American families to be able to afford health care. Doesn't cost the government anything and certainly doesn't increase anyone's taxes.

"Well, it either does or it doesn't, and both McCain and the Wonk Room agree that it does.

"Everyone also agrees that McCain's health care plan is radical, and, despite Palin's best attempts to pivot the argument in her favor, most observers aren't buying her spin. In fact, today's New York Times reports that numerous business groups and associations oppose McCain's proposal to replace the current tax exemption for employer-sponsored health care benefits with a one-size-fits all tax credit.

 

 

 

Matt Taibbi at Rolling Stone (h/t Pensito Review) who described Sarah Palin's speech at the GOP convention as "Gidget addresses the Reichstag" offers this commentary:"Sarah Palin is a symbol of everything that is wrong with the modern United States. As a representative of our political system, she's a new low in reptilian villainy, the ultimate cynical masterwork of puppeteers like Karl Rove. But more than that, she is a horrifying symbol of how little we ask for in return for the total surrender of our political power.

"Not only is Sarah Palin a fraud, she's the tawdriest, most half-assed fraud imaginable, 20 floors below the lowest common denominator, a character too dumb even for daytime TV -and this country is going to eat her up, cheering her every step of the way. All because most Americans no longer have the energy to do anything but lie back and allow ourselves to be jacked off by the calculating thieves who run this grasping consumer paradise we call a nation."
