Richard Wolffe Reams Sarah Palin

On Sarah Palin demeaning research into fruit flies, some of which has unlocked some secrets of autism, at 5:10 into the clip: "I'm going to be as restrained and measured as I possibly can this; but this is the most mindless, ignorant, uninformed comment that we have seen from Sarah Palin in this campaign so far, and there's been a lot of competition for that prize ... if you deliver your first serious policy speech and you make this kind of basic error, you either don't have a scientific advisor, or you don't have a speechwriter who knows what they're saying."

My roommate was a Berkeley scientist studying fruit flies. The work she was doing was groundbreaking the path to breaking the DNA genetic code of humans. Palin is ignorant.

If she would have happend to become vice president, who would have raised her 5 kids? Nannies? That is bad parenting! She was a bad bad choice for mccain. Although I have to admit they would be great stand up comedians. Maybe that is the carrier they should pick! She could spend more time with her soooooo important kids.

Palin is a semi-literate opportunist who might make a good host on a home shopping network, but a total disaster as a "leader". I'm embarrased to say I'm an american..

Funny. Ten months ago you'd never have thought the tea party would kick every liberal out of office.

shes dangerous in that she is in so over her head, she knows it and still wont back out. way too much pride, way too much stubborness, way too little brains. if she has so much common sense then she ought to know "common sense" people shouldnt hold big office. save it for big thinkers
