If your idea of not being an idiot is making millions, then Palin isn't an idiot. To me making millions isn't an indicator of anything other than an abiliity to make millions. It doesn't mean she's successful at anything other than making money. If that's all her goal is, and all she needs out of life, then she's successful.
You are saying the reason she get so much attention is because she is not suitable for any office? That makes no sense. She holds no office and according to the polls she has no chance in the future to hold an office. According to your logic, the homeless guy on the corner I "buzz the tower" on my way to work should be national news.
well no I dont mean if you make millions your not an idiot. We have plenty of celebrities and athletes who are complete idiots and make millions. My point is I definitely she think is taking advantage of her fame and milking it. I don't think she is as dumb as the left try to make her out to be. She cant be to get to where she is now.
agree.. CrazyDave's response made completely no sense. I guess that is why he named himself CRAZYdave.
Experts back Sarah Palin’s historical account You betcha she was right! By Chris Cassidy | Monday, June 6, 2011 | http://www.bostonherald.com | U.S. Politics Photo by Mark Garfinkel Sarah Palin yesterday insisted her claim at the Old North Church last week that Paul Revere “warned the British” during his famed 1775 ride — remarks that Democrats and the media roundly ridiculed — is actually historically accurate. And local historians are backing her up. Palin prompted howls of partisan derision when she said on Boston’s Freedom Trail that Revere “warned the British that they weren’t going to be taking away our arms by ringing those bells and making sure as he’s riding his horse through town to send those warning shots and bells that we were going to be secure and we were going to be free.” Palin insisted yesterday on Fox News Sunday she was right: “Part of his ride was to warn the British that were already there. That, hey, you’re not going to succeed. You’re not going to take American arms.” In fact, Revere’s own account of the ride in a 1798 letter seems to back up Palin’s claim. Revere describes how after his capture by British officers, he warned them “there would be five hundred Americans there in a short time for I had alarmed the Country all the way up.” Boston University history professor Brendan McConville said, “Basically when Paul Revere was stopped by the British, he did say to them, ‘Look, there is a mobilization going on that you’ll be confronting,’ and the British are aware as they’re marching down the countryside, they hear church bells ringing — she was right about that — and warning shots being fired. That’s accurate.” Patrick Leehey of the Paul Revere House said Revere was probably bluffing his British captors, but reluctantly conceded that it could be construed as Revere warning the British. “I suppose you could say that,” Leehey said. “But I don’t know if that’s really what Mrs. Palin was referring to.” McConville said he also is not convinced that Palin’s remarks reflect scholarship. “I would call her lucky in her comments,” McConville said. Meanwhile, the state’s Democratic Party held a thin blue line on the issue, insisting on mocking Palin despite a brief historical review of the matter. State party chairman John Walsh wise-cracked that the region welcomes all tourists, even those with “an alternative view of history.” “If you believe he was riding through the countryside sending text messages and Tweets to the British, still come to Boston,” he said. “There are a lot of things to do and see.” But Cornell law professor William Jacobson, who asserted last week that Palin was correct, linking to Revere quotes on his conservative blog Legalinsurrection.com, said Palin’s critics are the ones in need of a history lesson. “It seems to be a historical fact that this happened,” he said. “A lot of the criticism is unfair and made by people who are themselves ignorant of history.” Article URL: http://www.bostonherald.com/news/us_politics/view.bg?articleid=1343353
The same as leading the polls, not to mention the same office as winning the actual Republican nomination.
The paradox itself isn't that hard to understand - it makes as much sense as why Snookie, the Kardashians etc are famous for being famously untalented and unable to offer any redeeming value to anybody who is subjected to them.
Given some of the revelations he has unsolictedly expectorated upon us regarding his bedroom practices with Mrs. basso, deuxieme (eapecially the one that involved a second wiener....) - you can see why he'd be drawn to the subject I guess.
I can only imagine what will happen to his little brain when Weiner is elected the next Mayor of New York! :grin:
Here's the final recap. Palin was right about: 1. Paul Revere warned the British (if you can call answering British soldiers questions while being threatened with a gun, warning.) 2. Some Bells rang and warning shots were fired. Palin was wrong about: 1. Why Paul Revere went on the ride. 2. What Paul Revere warned the British about. (so even one of the things she kind of got right, she still misunderstood.) So she got wrong the most important lesson from the story wrong. She got some minute details correct. Her level of understanding regarding the subject matter is below that of 5th graders.
