Sarah Palin is Official

Officially a dunce, Sarah Palin's aura of invincibility is waning, and even disillusioned folks are taking a second look at this embarrassment of a candidate. She was doomed the moment she stepped in the same room as Katie Couric. Finally here was an interviewer that wouldn't be accused of sexism when asking tough questions. Before Couric, the caution that male interviewers had to take with Sarah Palin to avoid being called a sexist was disgusting so this interview promised to be different from the start. As expected, Palin spoke her usual time-buying political jargon throughout the presentation until she was confronted by a series of foreign policy questions. Regarding her experience in foreign policy, Palin cited Alaska's vicinity to Russia as giving her experience. Couric, obviously "surprised" at these answers, revealed to America and the rest of the world just how shallow Sarah Palin really is.

And that's not it. Palin had the perfect chance to redeem herself in the VP debates, but being the lackluster candidate that she is, she completely bombed the debate from a substance standpoint. She blurted remarks such as "I LOVE Israel," and even winked at the camera during a shout out to local third graders back home. Even though it was blatantly clear, some people willfully chose to be ignorant and commented on how genuine and down to earth she appeared. Bullshit. The problem is that people are taking partial details that support Sarah Palin and phasing out the bad news such as the most obviously inadequate kinowledge on foreign policy.

We're still not done yet. When confronted by a question regarding which Supreme Court decisions she disagreed with, Palin just named the obvious Roe v. Wade and wasn't able to identify any other court decisions. Two days later she claimed that she was annoyed by the interviewer and was able to artifically "recite" decisions and explain how much they mattered to her.

Ladies and gentleman, I present you the least qualified candidate for vice president. Ever.
