I have skimmed over the majority of these replies and it seems to me that albeit fpb sometimes writes brilliantly (which is why i added him to friends in the first place) in this case he is being a small minded misogynist who seems to believe that Sarah Palin has qualifications to be Vice President of America. He has not disputed any facts with anyone and rebukes those who want to debate such facts or factors as the small minded stubborn brainwashed people as in fact, he himself is. Do you really think that a woman who became governor of a state with less people in it than Austin, Tx is qualified? A woman who was mayor of a tiny ass hobunk town that abused her power? The simple facts of the matter is that experience comes with dealing with people and things. She has never had to deal with the national spotlight anywhere near the degrees of the other 3 people in the race, she has no experience in Washington, which she boldly proposes as a bonus to herself! What job interview do you know of where you go to the potential employer and say "I have no experience whatsoever!! I am PERFECT for the job of running the biggest economy and jingoist nation in the world!" My girlfriend has Personally met more world heads of state than this farce of a choice, which by the way qualifies her to run nothing, she is merely a 22yo genius biochemist.

You sir, were added to my friends list because occassionally you wrote something brilliant. In this matter however, you seem to have lost your mind as well as your ability to think intelligently.
