Sarah Palin Can't Name Any Founding Fathers!

You know, it's not that I like writing about Sarah Palin. I don't. As I've said before, I find her boring, and when she eventually disappears from public life — or is forced out by the fickle nature of America's attention span — we'll look back on her silly popularity with a collective disgust, the same way we think about, oh, say, George Wallace.

That said, this is a funny time politics blog, so, ugh, below is a clip of Sarah Palin freezing like a startled Real American when asked — by hardballin' journo-crier Glenn Beck — to name her favorite founding father. The terror in her eyes reaches through the screen, and begs you (ANYONE) to please get me away from the lights and the cameras and the mean ol' questions folks are always askin'. But, oh lord, if people don't look at me then I'll cease to exist, exactly like in one of them gay Hollywood movies (probably).

So, anyway, when asked to name her favorite founding father, Palin goes feral and responds, "all of them." Ugh. Yeah. "All of them" are MY favorite too. What a great, informative answer! Oh, that's so interesting that you like all of the founding fathers. Equally. Wow, that's a great answer. "All of them" is also my favorite Stanley Kubrick film.

Then, oh god, she says, "George Washington," and she really could not be more thrilled with herself. She likes him the best, because — and I quote — "he was their leader." Bingo! That's also the same reason Leonardo was my favorite Ninja Turtle.

How on earth did this moron became a Governor in America?

[vinnykpartiallday]

i don't like Sarah Palin but this video is just wrongly emphasizing something Palin said.

[Lewis Smith]

This guy from TYT is a complete douche bag, yeah she may beat around the bush answering question(s). She does know who the founding fathers are and she is rather smart when it comes to history because its true about the comment she made about Washington being reluctant to enter into politics

[smartbolha]

All of them are my favorite too Sarah!!!

"some people" find Palin to be like George Washington?.. LOL<<< LOL oh man what a joke. Fox [it ain't] News yes even you can tune in and be mind F'd.

The U.S. doesn't want nor can afford to have a dim wit in the White House. We suffered through eight years of your pet Bush, that ignorant bumbling nightmare was very tough to live through. We didn't need nor ever will need another time like that. Palin would have brought it back but in reality even worse. Hard to imagine someone being more ignorant than Bush but there ya go, your beloved bimbo Palin takes the cake.

Uhh.... All of them... (Five seconds later) I would have to say George Washington Because he was the leader

[Ed Allyn]
