Palin says she considers herself intellectual

[kskiska]

NEW YORK (AP) - Does vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin consider herself intellectual? You betcha!

"And you have to be up on not only current events, but you have to understand the foundation of the issues that you're working on," Palin said in an interview with People magazine. "You can't just go on what is presented you."

Although Palin didn't name a single newspaper or magazine when CBS News anchor Katie Couric asked where she got her information, the Alaska governor told People that she has always been a "voracious reader" and named reading _ anything from biographies to historical works _ as her favorite thing along with her children and sports.

(snip)

Palin said if she and husband Todd had had a sixth child, they had already picked a name for a boy joining siblings Track, Bristol, Willow, Piper and Trig.

"I always wanted a son named Zamboni," she said.

6. If she's an intellectual then I'm a fucking Nobel Laureate...

[Heidi]

14. I'm afraid we'll have to settle for "f*cking," and leave the Nobel Laureate business aside,

given the "if" in this equation. :P

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

7. When I was a kid, I considered myself Superman

I used to tie a bath towel on my back and jump off the front porch.

[Blue Belle]

31. When I was a kid, I considered myself a rockstar...

I used to stand on my parents' bed (the stage) and sing into the vacuum handle (the microphone). Didn't make me Joan Jet.

But God and women think otherwise.

We're entitled to our own opinions, but not our own FACTS.

[Cabcere]

15. I consider your sig pic quite amusing!

:rofl: Cracked up at the Thomas one...nicely done. :hi:

[Lars39]

16. Not, "If I ever have a sixth child..."...she's using past tense, like it's unlikely

to happen now. I bet her tubes were tied after Piper and Trig is Bristol's. Saw a full-on belly pic of Bristol...she actually looks slimmer now at 6-7 months,than she did a month or so ago.:think:

I may even, at times, be an intellectual myself.

[dorkulon]

23. Zamboni... no way...

I thought it must be satire. She must really be joking, right? Zamboni. WTF? That's right up there with Moon Unit.

[florida08]

24. did her lips move when she said it?

[foo_bar]

25. Zamboni, that's a good old testament name

She's a voracious reader of hockey rink paraphernalia. I wonder if she's read her own Bible, it's not like there's a shortage of creepy names like "Boaz".

[ColbertWatcher]

38. For thine is the resurfacer, ice mower and the glory, for ever and ever, Zamboni.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

26. She voraciously reads historical works?

like the ones that gave her the idea that General McClellan and the Army of the Potomac were fighting in Afghanistan? Or the idea that our Founding Fathers uttered the pledge of allegiance?

[TahitiNut]

27. Reading the inscriptions on restroom walls doesn't count, Sarah. (Nor does WRITING them.)

What a maroon!

[Dr Fate]

28. And McCain considers himself a "Maverick". n/t

n/t

[Dukkha]

29. Intellectual and Zamboni in the same interview

fucking IDIOT!

also McCalls and Redbook doesn't make you a "voracious reader"

[Javaman]

32. I have always concidered myself vice president, just give me a ribbon to cut and I'll show ya! LOLnt

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

33. She's trying for DuZy.

But, her assertion is too ridiculous to be considered.

[JVS]

34. In what respect, Sarah?

[SidneyCarton]

35. I consider myself good looking, my opinion is hardly objective.

[Virginia Dare]

37. I consider her to be incredibly ignorant...n/t.

[PunkinPi]

39. The delusions are strong with this one.

:rofl:

[machI]

53. She probably reassures McCain that they are going to win on a regular basis

[Ezlivin]

40. Even with $150,000 she couldn't buy a damned clue

She's one vowel short of a syllable.

[Ghost in the Machine]

41. She's Semi Illiterate.... which is my codespeak for 'dumb as a truck'..

:evilgrin:

[alarimer]

43. I consider myself a Nobel-Prize winner

despite all evidence to the contrary.

[Swamp Rat]

[Generic Other]

46. I consider myself the legitimate heir to the English throne

Too bad bloody usurping old German lady over there with her ugly hats and sensible shoes seems unwilling to even address my claims.

[Generic Other]

48. Oh I forgot, I also consider myself ready for canonization

I have performed 3 documented miracles. 1. I lived through 8 years of Bush/Cheney; 2. I never strangled a Republican; 3. I listened to Sarah Palin share her expertise with me and managed to keep a straight face.

[skip fox]

47. The horrific part . . . she doesn't even know what one is.

And in that regard, she probably stands with the majority of Americans. (And about 85% of the Republicans.)

[Saphire]

49. I consider myself Queen of the Universe...woo,hoo!

[youthere]

50. She's an intellectual like my dog is. Oh look...she's over there...
