- - Palin: Duped or just not too smart? (https://thetfp.com/tfp/tilted-politics/142129-palin-duped-just-not-too-smart.html)

So this whole thread has turned into whether or not Sarah Palin is actually a visionary intellectual or not based on her ability to have a balanced budget during her terms in Alaska?

1. She had a balanced budget, and that's a golden star on her report card. :thumbsup:
1.a. It's not like she's actually "balancing the budget..." sitting up at night with a calculator...but still, it's a golden star...

2. I never thought to myself "Damn! I think that Palin woman might be an idiot...let me check for the ultimate litmus test of intellectual prowess...is her budget balanced bitches!?!.."

2.a. She said a number of other things during her brief (hopefully, Buddha be praised) stint in the limelight that I'm not overly impressed with her mental acumen. It's not any one thing, it's the sum of many things.

2.b. Jesus rode a dinosaur + Russia is in my backyard + "Bush Doctrine? What Bush Doctrine?" + "I wanna be V.P." => hmmm....???

3. Back to the OP - of course it's a bad idea to take a phone call from a non-verified foreign dignitary, without telling the remainder of the campaign. Fucking Duh.

Ok, I feel better. I just can't figure out what the hell is supposed to be discussed here anymore. At the present point in time, who gives a bucket of snot about Sarah Palin? Hope she has fun in Alaska, and maybe if we quit talking about her she'll go away. I don't really dislike her much more than other people like her, I just don't care much about her, specifically, and I want her to poof!!!

can we linger a moment over this jesus rode a dinosaur thing?
i like it.

what will happen now with the declining oil prices....when the budget is based on $100/barrel oil.

They are actually in big trouble right now!
