I haven&#8217;t read her book. What I want think about is living in a country that takes her seriously, about anything. After two terms as mayor of a small Alaskan town, she ran for Lt. Governor of Alaska and lost. Then she was appointed to the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, quitting after less than a year. Then she was elected Governor, quitting after 2&frac12; years of her first term. Quitting things in in her nature. She changed colleges five times before getting a degree. The thing that perhaps best describes her is her winning the <strong>Miss Wasilla<\/strong> beauty pagent in 1983 and coming in third as <strong>Miss Alaska<\/strong> [she won <strong>Miss Congeniality<\/strong> in that competition]. So, why are we even talking about her?<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">She&#8217;s sort of pretty. She&#8217;s &quot;sassy.&quot;&nbsp; She&#8217;s congenial. She has virtually no understanding of the political issues of the day other than what most of them are and where people like her are supposed to stand on such things. Apparently, people liked having an idiot for a President over these last eight years, and are looking for another idiot to take his place. She is a perfect candidate to follow George W. Bush.<\/p>\n<div align=\"justify\">As for living in a country that would take such a person seriously as a Presidential hopeful &#8211; very depressing&#8230;<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, there she is.
