If the Wasilla City Council is relevant experience, I think overseeing movie night and organizing dorm parties sure as hell is.

Plus, I've even got an advanced degree.

I'm pissed!!:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

4. If you can get past pastey white skin, too much body hair, and a beer belly,

3. You met all criteria but one -- no significant moose hunting experience.
