I know you distrust education, but Sarah Palin is in way over her head no matter how you slice it.
So I guess the question is how low would you go? You wanna send someone off with a GED AND no experience to face down Vladimir Putin?

Talk about pure panic, and emotional shrillness, your points are so predictable, and foolish.
As you say about who to send to "face down Putin", I'm going for the gal whose stood up to the "big guy, good ole boy network", not the guy who would sit down apologize for America, and cower like a pussy.

I run a small business. One aspect of my business is I T. Computers are very important to my business. Sadly, I know very little about how computers are supposed to work. As a result I have to pay big bucks to my manager of IT services to keep me on line, to write new software to handle my clients needs and to in general keep me ahead of the curve. I hire the best people I can find to tell me what I need to know and what I need to purchase and to do the job I need done.
Any manager does the same. No corporate president knows every aspect of the production of his company's product. They relie on the expertise of those they hire for success. It is no different in the halls of government. Presidents relie on their Secretaries of State and diplomatic corp to make decisions. All presidents do so. I would even admit that although Obama does not know shit from Shinola about world affairs he may have the capablility of hiring someone who does. We know that McCain has that ability and we know that Sarah Palin has the ability to delegate authority and responsibility, she has proven that as Governor of Alaska.
George, you aren't really equating Idaho with Granada are you? You do know that Idaha is part of the United States don't you?

Questioning someone's education is not a "low" tactic...
Perhaps you can concede that her education credentials fall short of what some might desire, and then give examples of people who's education might be less than stellar, but then went on to achieve great things. Oh I see you effectively did that in your next post:

How can we send Obama to have a summit with Putin
|
>>>Easy. 1) Obama is a Harvard Law grad and therefore has somewhat of an idea about the contents of our constitution, and therefore has some sort of idea what Americanism is all about. 2) He won't be asking God for permission for new invasions.

Apparently for Hussein it didn't sink in after 20 years. And you want to send him to meet Putin for a few hours? No military experience, No foreign policy experience, but hey, if you wanna organize a bake sale in a slum he's your man.
