Look up ‘Sarah Palin is an idiot’ in Google and you’ll get 26,200,000 results.

She’s an idiot I would be proud to have as a friend.

‘George Bush is an idiot’ used to be the standard left-wing joke.

‘George Bush is an idiot.’ Ha, ha, ha. Then five minutes later ‘George Bush is an idiot.’ Ha, ha, ha, as if they had never heard this before, and it was so, you know, hilarious.

I guess it made it easier to avoid talking about policies and stuff.

It looks like ‘Sarah Palin is an idiot’ is the new left-wing joke de jour. Or joke de year.

But calling Palin an idiot won’t alter the fact that she is vastly more qualified to be president than the present incumbent.

In the video below Newt Gingrich responds to a derogatory comment about Sarah Palin’s resume by MSNBC interviewer Ron Allen.

‘It’s stronger than Barack Obama’s. I don’t know why you guys walk around saying this baloney. She has a stronger resume than Obama. She’s been a real mayor, he hasn’t. She has been a real governor, he hasn’t. She’s been in charge of the Alaskan National Guard, he hasn’t. She was a whistleblower who defeated an incumbent mayor. He has never once shown that kind of courage. She’s a whistleblower who turned in the chairman of her own party and got him fined $12,000. I’ve never seen Obama do one thing like that. She took on the incumbent governor of her own party and beat him, and then she beat a former Democratic governor in the general election. I don’t know of a single thing Obama’s done except talk and write.’

Then Gingrich asks Allen:

‘I’d like you to tell me one thing Sen. Obama’s done.’

No response. Allen clearly can’t think of anything, because Gingrich is right.

That hasn’t changed.
