What I Fear
For the record, I don’t think Sarah Palin isn’t smart. In fact, I think she’s very smart. I think she’s manipulative, and an opportunist.
But what scares me is that her ignorance of the bigger issues of the day, especially on the international scene, will be embraced by voters. I fear that her limited, jumbled world view will be applauded and used as justification for people’s admiration of her.
She comes across as a nit-wit in the following clip, frankly. But the whole “well, she knows what I know, and dammit, she stuck to her guns” bit is part of what got the last not-too-worldly person elected president of the United States. We all know how well that’s gone.
