If not, then how does she keep finding ways to be stupid? She is an unholy fountain of stupidity, a geyser of idiotic lies that won’t be stopped by nature, science or Grandpa McCain himself.<\/p>\n

In her speech about special needs, she flouts science and makes what Newsweek reporter Richard Wolfe calls “The most mindless, ignorant, uninformed comment we’ve seen from Governor Palin so far.<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Whoa! That’s pretty fucking stupid! In Palin’s speech, she mocked research on fruit flies and said that money could be spent on autism research. In fact, fruit fly research has been instrumental in helping improve our understanding of autism. Watch her speech here<\/a>, watch Richard Wolfe here<\/a>, and read a fantastic rant about her here<\/a>. The rant begins like this:<\/p>\n

“This idiot woman, this blind, shortsighted ignoramus, this pretentious clod, mocks<\/em> basic research and the international research community.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

How did I forget to call Mrs. Palin a pretentious clod?! Please accept my apology for being a slacker in the insult department. It won’t happen again, I promise.<\/p>\n

In other news, Mrs. P says she won’t be wearin’ any more of those expensive elitist clothes for the rest of the campaign. She appeared in North Carolina, wearin’ her own jeans, and earlier she spoke in Tampa, wearin’ her own trashy jacket, showin’ off her crappy earrings, boastin’ about how frugal she is in Real Life. She’s even droppin’ her personal pronouns; “Happy to wear it,” she said of her $35 wedding ring.<\/p>\n

Happy she’s happy. Even happier to read that she can’t accept<\/a> any lucrative TV offers while serving as Alaska’s governor! It’s not like she would break the law or anything. Maybe she’ll decide to resign, in order to star in her own reality show<\/a>. \u00a0 Hopin’ she’ll drop dead before that happens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
