Palin: Evidence of Ignorance
Not Saying she’s an ignoramus, she does that herself...
everytime she opens her mouth !
1. "As Putin rears his head and
comes into the air space of the United States of America, where– where

4. Katie Couric: "What other
Supreme Court decisions do you disagree with?" Sarah Palin: "Well,
let's see. There's --of course --in the great history of America rulings there have been
rulings, there's never going to be absolute consensus by every
American. And there are -- those issues, again, like
Roe v Wade where I believe are best held on a state level and addressed
there. So you know -- going through the history of
America, there would be others but--"
5. Couric: "Can you think of any?" Palin: "Well, I could think of -- of
any again, that could be best dealt with on a more local level. Maybe
I would take issue with. But you know, as mayor, and
then as governor and even as a Vice President, if I'm so privileged to
serve, wouldn't be in a position of changing those things but in supporting the law of the land as it
reads today." --unable to name any Supreme Court decisions other

... any hint of any kind of unethical activity there," said Sarah
Palin last Sunday, soon after she
was found to have engaged in wrongdoing and unethical activity in the

denial and lies, a deep aversion to reality -- not the best ways to
signal your commitment to "change" from
"politics as usual."

flag, you know, the molecules, where it's going and where it's not.
But in the sense of the Congress today, they know
that there are very, very hungry domestic markets that need that oil
first. So, I believe that what Congress is going to do, also, is not to allow the export bans to such
a degree that it's Americans that get stuck to holding the bag without the energy source that is produced here, pumped
here. It's got to flow into our domestic markets first."
