Nixon was a moronic crook and an infamous liar. I can only assume this genius was hiding his light under a bushel when he organized the Watergate break-in with a bunch of shambolic CIA losers who couldn't run a raffle in a bar without stealing the take. Or when he got all of his crimes on tape so everyone could join in the fun. It's pure freakin' genius at work. Anyone can see that. Nixon thought the law and the constitution applied to the voters but not the government and so do the current bunch of misfits in the White House. This is not proof of intelligence. If Palin wants to come across as equal to the task of being Vice President -and possibly President judging by the state of John McCain- she needs a brain transplant, pronto. Tips on how to be interviewed for the job won't cut it. She's not trying to get into an Ivy League college - and she couldn't if she tried. Whole worlds of knowledge don't exist for her, as they don't exist for Bush. Let that be a warning.
