Another Milepost On The Road To Oblivion

Erick Erickson Douchebag Douchebagson wants to know:

What Do Sarah Palin and Jesus Christ Have In Common?

OK, I'll bite.  They both had...feet?

I don’t know what it is about Sarah Palin that sets people off, but there is very little in between. The reaction people have to Sarah Palin is very much the reaction many people have to Jesus — both offend and disgust the secular values of some and with others failing to embrace either sends you straight to hell. Judging by my conversation with Governor Palin a few weeks ago when I asked her why the left has more compassion for Al Qaeda than for conservative women and minorities, I think she gets it and finds some humor in it.

What "sets people off" about Sarah Palin is her constantly demonstrated inability to grasp basic information.

Heilemann said that even after crash-course tutorials by campaign aides following the convention, Palin was still woefully uninformed about basic policy issues.

“[S]he still didn’t really understand why there was a North Korea and a South Korea,” Heilemann told the program’s Anderson Cooper. “She was still regularly saying that Saddam Hussein had been behind 9/11.”

And if she was just not that bright it would be one thing, but the woman goes out of her way to refuse to correct her ignorance.

This makes her dangerous.  Jesus was just, you know, misunderstood.
