No offense, but being a "good politician" in Alaska is akin to being the world's tallest midget.

Posted by TWuG Oct 2 '09, 11:41

Cutting it in Alaska hardly prepares someone for the big leagues of politics.

As her performance during the election showed.

And "steadfast" and "consistent" don't accurately reflect the incurious nature of either Bush or Palin.

The both are remarkably inflexible in their beliefs.

Responses:

if you by "she" means Palin then she is not a representative of Alaska i think - Danedukenuuk Oct 2, 11:57 5
- This I disagree with. She's probably very smart about that kind of stuff. -- nm - TWuG Oct 2, 11:59 3
  - nope and you can deduct she ain't - Danedukenuuk Oct 2, 12:09
  - Eh. There have been several stories recently that the whole "shootin' guns" and being an outdoorsy person where all bs. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 2, 12:00 1
    - I think you're thinking of the Levi - Vanity Fair interview. - Dr.Vermin Oct 2, 12:12
- I'm pretty sure she's the definition of representing Alaska :) -- nm - oblique Oct 2, 11:59
While this may be true for Palin, I think painting the state of Alaska with that brush is just wrong. - Jim Oct 2, 11:55
yeah, that's not offensive at all. -- nm - ty97 Oct 2, 11:54 5
- Eh. They have a small population. They problems a governor of a small-pop state are much different than what a gov of a high-pop state - TWuG Oct 2, 11:58 4
  - The country's best politican could come from Alaska. - ty97 Oct 2, 12:00 3
    - Sure, it could happen. I'm not saying Alaskans are stupid because Palin is dumb, but that Palin is unprepared because Alaska is small - TWuG Oct 2, 12:03 2
      - I disagree here - Arkansas is a pretty small state, for instance, but it produced Bill Clinton - Roger More Oct 2, 12:25
      - Obama hadn't governed jack shit, much less a large city or large state. I assume you voted against him because of his complete lack of preparation. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Oct 2, 12:21
Big leagues of politics. Give me a break. They're all self serving incompetent morons. -- nm - Loyola Oct 2, 11:48 2
- That's an insult to morons. - TWuG Oct 2, 11:54 1
  - Bullshit. -- nm - Loyola Oct 2, 11:55
What other professions does this translate to? "New Mexico's premier hockey player..." -- nm - Max Oct 2, 11:47 1
- Jamaican bobsled team. -- nm - Shaun Oct 2, 11:53
Ah. Well then, disrespectfully, fuck you. - Dr.Vermin Oct 2, 11:46 1
- I have serious problems with inflexibility. It's a bad way to approach serious decisions. Just because I like the destination - TWuG Oct 2, 11:52
