Wow, I never said I was a genius, that I could fix anything, that she was worse or better than any other politician, that her views were bad or good, etc. Pretty far reaching, there, lol. I simply said. ..........
I believe she is unintelligent, I am ecstatic she is not vice president of our country and I was offended that they possibly believed that we were stupid enought to think that her being vice president is a good idea. That is it. No extras, if, ands, or buts.......and
I have done public speaking a lot of times before. I have never ever ever said anything even close to golly or gee whiz, or anything so retarded sounding, so to answer, do I believe I could do better with public speaking?? The answer would be a resounding HELL YES. And then there was also the infamous I'm great at foreign relations because I can see Russia from where I live! My god, why is anyone defending her???
So because someone says golly and gee whiz they are an imbecile? How is that any different than seeing a black man and clutching your purse a little tighter because he might steal it?
You might want to read the whole Russia quote again too, not the Saturday Night Live skit.
"They’re our next door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska.
GIBSON: What insight does that give you into what they’re doing in Georgia?
PALIN: Well, I’m giving you that perspective of how small our world is and how important it is that we work with our allies to keep good relation with all of these countries, especially Russia."
Not the most skillfully worded answer to a question but certainly not " I can see Russia"
