I actually don’t think she is completely stupid. I think she knows a lot about very specific things. I watched her Alaska show and she knew quite a bit about Alaska. Not just where to shoot caribou, but also statistics and interesting information about the state regarding it’s wildlife, business, economy, and more.
I think she never thought much about the world or the international scene previous to being asked to be VP, and that was my biggest problem with her. I don’t think she had a keen interest in national and international events previously, and I still don’t think she has much of an interest in such things, especially lacking in international politics.
We can never be sure when a politician says something stupid whether they might be tired or just mispoke. Although, she probably does not know the history, which is dissappointing.
Do you know how many people I know who did not figure out the Tea Party got its name because of the Boston Tea Party? So many Americans are clueless. History is my worst subject amd I find I know more than so many people, it is incredible.
The people who love Sarah probably don’t know history either, so it does not hurt her at all.
