Things Palin could never have achieved

Instapundit pointed me to New Editor, which pointed me to this by David Harsanyi in the Denver Post.  See how the blogosphere works?

Can you believe the gall of these Sarah Palin cultists? Presidential aspirations? This is a woman who named one of her kids “Track,” for God’s sake. (Well, if it really is her kid.)

Bear with this fellow.  He’s on to something.

Really, where would we be if a bumpkin like Palin were president? With her brainpower, we’d probably be stuck with a Cabinet full of tax cheats, retreads and moralizing social engineers.

If Palin were president, chances are we’d have a gaffe-generating motor mouth for a vice president. That’s the kind of decision-making one expects from Miss Congeniality.

Chances are, yes.

The job of building generational debt is not for the unsophisticated.

You gotta have heart.

Enriching political donors with taxpayer dollars takes intellectual prowess, not the skills of a moose-hunting point guard.

That’s her, all right.

The idea of printing money we don’t have to pay for programs we can’t afford is, apparently, the work of a finely tuned imagination, soaring gravitas and endless policy know-how.

Palin is so clueless she probably would have rushed through some colossal stimulus plan that ended up stimulating nothing.

Ain’t we lucky, to be spared all that? 

It’s another case of asking compared to what?  Always ask and insist on an answer to this pivotal question, lest ye be fooled.
