According to a recent poll, sixty percent of Americans view Sarah Palin as unqualified to be President while a huge seventy percent lack confidence in her. My favorite aspect of the poll is that two percent believe she is a Muslim.
However, when you move to simply Republicans, 47 percent believe she would be great as a president. Forty percent of Republicans believe she is unqualified.
UPDATE: The results do not appear to have discouraged Palin, who went to Iowa this week in search of that forty percent.

That particular Panda apparently suffers the same affliction as those here.
Media Troll:
Quite funny but I, unlike you, did not engage in incestuous relationships with “kin folk” nor am I the result of such. Now I am not above saying your mother is quite the sexual dilettante.
Oh, Elaine!
Jeepers Creepers,
A little comma joke to lighten the discussion:
A panda walks into a cafe. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and proceeds to fire it at the other patrons.
“Why?” asks the confused, surviving waiter amidst the carnage.
The panda pauses on his way out, produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual, and tosses it over his shoulder.
“Well, I’m a panda,” he says at the door. “Look it up.”
The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation:
“Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves.”

You may want to read Lynne Truss’s best-selling book “EATS, SHOOTS & LEAVES: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation”–if you haven’t already.
Yes, you are quite right about that, a dull paring knife and a snail fork would come in handy here.
I see what you mean, the people on the right hide the ugly ones. I remember Cheney’s daughter was kept out of the media not only because she was a muncher, but because butt ugly. Would you want her on a postcard? Not me. Damn Jeepers, you got some balls to say that stuff. So was your sister as good as your mom?
Gyges-
And where, do tell, do you keep your “divining” rod?
Elaine,
Personally, I store my witching stick over the fire place. Although I guess my tea reading paraphernalia does get kept in the Kitchen.
Jeepers Creepers,
Now we’re all supposed to “divine” the meaning of your comments? How am I supposed to know that you weren’t trying to coin a new pejorative?
If you want to dish it out on the Turley blawg, you had better check to see that you’ve got the right utensils in your kitchen drawer first.
P.S. Here’s a clue to “divining” the point of my last statement: Don’t take it literally.
😉
comma placement is imperative to good understanding. But then one should be able to divine the meaning of a simple sentence with an obvious mistake of punctuation. Especially one with contextual clues.
If the exercise was derision, it has failed miserably.
It is true that democrats are known for their breathing capacity. It’s just one of their many repulsive, yet advanced, attributes.
Knuckle dragging mouth? Never heard that one before!
New poll question.
Do you think Joe Biden would have the ability to be an EFFECTIVE PRESIDENT?

“Give her a chance. Do her to.”
At least she is doable, most all of the women of the left are not doable. In fact one would be better off “doing” a German Shepard or a Hampshire Sow rather than one of the lefts “golden” girls.
I guess the criticism stems from envy.
“Does Sarah Palin have the ability to be an effective shill to the racist, reactionary, “likes shiny things” brute-wing of the Republican Party?”
Exactly what does that mean? I imagine democrats are all so far advanced they have given up shiny things? I know a few and can vouch for their knuckle dragging mouth, breathing capacity.
I have a problem with these folks that don’t just suck up the shit either way. If you did not take the time to vote then don’t bitch. Palin, well she is trying to do her best. I heard that she was done a lot while Governor.
She did two reporters, at different times of course. I heard she laid there and was a slippery as the iditarod. I assume she knows what position she’s in at any time. Unless she was coked up, but who knows. She is not too bad to look at especially when she wears skimpy clothes. She is all about free love. Give her a chance. Do her to.
“I would love to know how anyone could possibly think that this ignoramus is qualified to be POTUS. Palin has done nothing; accomplished nothing and learned nothing.”
she could be on the democratic ticket next time around, they seem to have a pretty low bar for candidates.
We’d be better off asking if people think her VP would have the ability to be an effective president.
I knew it before you did…na na nana nah
Does Sarah Palin have the ability to be an effective shill to the racist, reactionary, “likes shiny things” brute-wing of the Republican Party?
I think we know the answer here and have no doubt that it means “qualified.”
