Yep, guys... and gals, she said it. You betcha' she went there, dontcha know.

Palin says she considers herself intellectual: People magazine
By The Associated Press



Although she didn't name a single newspaper or magazine when CBS News anchor Katie Couric asked where she got her information, Palin told People magazine she has always been a "voracious reader."



Besides author Lawrence Wright's terrorism history, "The Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11," Palin says she's been reading a lot of briefing papers.

She says: "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."

And one other little tidbit in the story which has nothing to do with being an intellectual, but does make me feel advanced sympathy for any future little Palin children...

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

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

Wow. When I think of Sarah Palin, I think many things... but intellectual is not one of them. It's not even in my top 10... 20... 50... it's nowhere near! :crazy:
