"... the best argument for a Palin presidency is her seeming relative ignorance... we've tried electing smart people, or at the very least, people smart enough to fake being smarter than they actually are, a basic political attribute that Sarah apparently lacks... it isn't working out... it may be time to go counter-intuitive here and embrace real simplicity... now, I know what you're saying, we did stupid with Bush... but Cheney and Rove ran that administration and they weren't exactly country bumpkins... no, Sarah gives the impression that if elected she'd definitely be calling the shots... and then finally we'd have a true democracy with an honest to goodness simpleton running things... could work out... anyway, I defy you to prove to me it couldn't... and what a delicious irony it would be if a Palin presidency eclipsed Obama's... although, admittedly, that's a pretty low bar... but my god, what a sight it'd be, liberals dropping dead from despair all around us... you'd have to invent an entirely new discipline of political theory in hopes of making sense of the absurdity of it..."
