    And to think, she was almost president of the US...

    OK so we all know vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin is irredeemably thick, nothing new there.

    But have a look at this recent 20 second video in which she explains her economic theory about oil prices and public spending in Alaska (the state where she is still today actually THE GOVERNOR, in the real universe, and not some unbelievable sitcom).

    Wow. Just wow.



    (she remains the Republican standard-bearer and front-runner for the 2012 presidential nomination)

    Well since you're so keen...Sean Hannity (Fox News Shill) remarks that the price of oil is increasing, "I mean it's not at $140 but it is going up" when Palin interrupts to say:

    "Well I thank God it's not at $140 you know people say 'Hey, Alaska, 85% of your state budget is based on the price of a barrel of oil, aren't you glad the price is going up?' I say 'NOOO!', the fewer dollars that the state of Alaska government has, the fewer dollars we spend and that's good for our families and for the private sector".

    Hannity just nods and 'Mmm's dumbly throughout.

    In my entire working life I've honestly never encountered anyone who would say something so moronic, what qualifies this woman for the most basic employment, let alone office? I'd expect a 10-year-old to be able explain exactly why her statement is nonsense.

    And to think, she was almost president of the US...
    Not so far fetched considering George Bush was the President of the United States.

    Good point well made, I tip my hat to you sir.


    But we all knew that she was mental from the off?

    Believes everything is sacred and God made it yet hunts.

    Case and Point.

    Next to Sarah Palin, George W Bush was Steven Hawking.

    O.K., I'll bite. I can't see why it's nonsense. So explain it to me.

    Re: And to think, she was almost president of the US...

    It's basically ideology, just badly explained. I guess the idea is that the less money in the hands of the government then the more hands in the hands of the private sector to then spend and generate growth etc.

    Although I disagree with her views on many things I think her main problem there was making a glib remark and not really giving a proper explanation of why.

    Hopefully I am not being too naughty posting this, but the image/language is nothing I've not seen on Hexus and, well, it's nothing no one couldn't find in 2 sec on Google.
