You mean that Vladimir Putin doesn't really wrestle Grizzly Bears?

The reason she became VP candidate is because Republicans wanted someone who wasn't another boring old white dude.

She continues to succeed because of her looks and "down-home/folksy" speaking style, which allows the simpletons to understand what she's saying.

There's also the "underdog" factor. Americans love to root for the underdog, even if they're not deserving of anything. It allows them to think, "see, I could be where she is too."

Not only was I not comparing Palin to Obama in that quote, but I also used the phrase "relevant" experience.

In other words, not just executive experience

Or that Kim Jung Il isn't actually the greatest golfer in the world?

A lot of people that consider themselves good Americans look at the propaganda that goes on in other countries, which we consider to be lacking in essential freedoms, and kind of think to themselves, "Man, I'm sure glad to be in America where that stuff doesn't happen."

But of course its not true at all as our propaganda machine is every bit as strong as any other nation's. There are essential benefits to our Constitution, that do make America a kick-ass place to live, but if the majority doesn't start to realize that they're being bamboozled we're going to lose all the freedoms that are suppose to make America a cut above the rest.

But Palin is getting a different type of exposure that your average Presidential candidate gets. She's not just a politician but a pop-culture icon, and is worshiped accordingly.

But hey, these are the people that vote father/son teams into office so what do you expect?

Some truth to that...can't deny. She got further and continues to gain spotlight because she's NOT Hillary (with the crusty vag that looks like 2 steaku-ms dangling between her knees......why do you think Bill quit hittin it in the 90's?)

I thought she was decent looking back when they first got elected. She had that "Scully" haircut as I recall.

Of course, what is she now, like 60? 58 at least?

I wouldn't doubt if Bill strayed more than we'll ever know about.
