More on the VP Candidate

I have often characterized Sarah Palin as the poster child for this country's celebration of mediocrity. According to the following excerpt from Rolling Stone magazine, I have been too soft on her. If the McPalin ticket wins in November, we should all commit to organizing supplemental education programs for our intellectually challenged fellow citizens. From my vantage point, living out there in the world beyond American borders -- as the rest of the world gets smarter, we Americans are getting "dumb and dumber."

From Rolling Stone Magazine:
Sarah Palin is a symbol of everything that is wrong with the modern United States . As a representative of our political system, she's a new low in reptilian villainy, the ultimate cynical masterwork of puppeteers like Karl Rove. But more than that, she is a horrifying symbol of how little we ask for in return for the total surrender of our political power. Not only is Sarah Palin a fraud, she's the tawdriest, most half-assed fraud imaginable, 20 floors below the lowest common denominator, a character too dumb even for daytime TV — and this country is going to eat her up, cheering her every step of the way. All because most Americans no longer have the energy to do anything but lie back and allow ourselves to be jacked off by the calculating thieves who run this grasping consumer paradise we call a nation.
