"Gaffe-prone Sarah Palin, who is considering running for the 2012 US Presidency, has risked more political ridicule after suggesting North Korea is an ally of America. The darling of the Republican Tea Party made the error when she was asked about the conflict between the North and Southern enemies, which escalated this week. Speaking during a radio interview, the self-styled hockey mum said: "Obviously we've got to stand with our North Korean allies." Go Sarah!

You know it would be funny if the possibilities of such serious gaffes were not so dangerous. Although her presence on the poilitical scene in the states has been entertaining I hope the US people are not tempted to "give her a go"

If Sarah Palin stood as President then it will damage the Republican party. If she won then America would become a laughing stock.

QUOTE (Iommi @ Nov 25 2010, 08:42 PM) Like Ronald Regan. Ronald Regan did good for the Republican party. Even though some would disagree with that. But he stood for two terms... and he had some intelligence... unlike Palin who hasn't got any.

Not that I am a fan of hers, but to say she has no intelligence is debatable; like Regan, she has a bachelor's degree.

Well, she is not totally blank, but not far from it. I think you know that some very dubious and questionable people have degrees. If people have money you can buy anything; even an education.
