"What Bothers Me Most about Washington"

-
Zogby asked Democrats and Republicans to identify "what bothers me most about Washington. The results were interesting: 74% of Democrats cited "partisan bickering," and 87% of Republicans said that politicians "think they are smarter than the rest of us."

(I got this from the excellent news magazine "The Week.")

    Actually, I bet Sarah Palin IS smarter than I am. But then again so was Ted Kazinski.

    i don't think sarah palin is smarter than you are. i don't think she's stupid, but i think she's of very, very average intelligence and very pronounced ambition. she's not stupid---she was incredibly ill informed during the campaign. with the right mentors, she could be a force to be reckoned with.

    it's just that i also think she's incredibly intellectually dishonest and mean spirited. so i fear her as she gains power and popularity.
