This may be one of the most ignorant articles I have read in the recent past. Yet to keep them honest, you must read it

Read this drivel and weep. There used to be actual journalists in our nation at one time. No longer.

Sarah Palin’s foolishness ruined U.S. politics

At some point while watching HBO’s absolutely smashing (and terrifying) movie “Game Change,” it occurred to me that Sarah Palin has ruined America. The movie has been scalloped out of the book by the same name and focuses on Palin, rather than on the entire 2008 presidential campaign. The decision to do so was absolutely correct. With her selection as John McCain’s running mate, American politics lost its way — and maybe its mind as well.

The movie portrays Palin as an ignoramus. She did not know that Queen Elizabeth II does not run the British government, and she did not know that North and South Korea are different countries. She seemed not to have heard of the Federal Reserve. She called Joe Biden “O’Biden” and she thought America went to war in Iraq because Saddam Hussein, not al-Qaeda, had attacked on Sept. 11, 2001. Not only did she know little, but she was determinately incurious and supremely smug in her ignorance.

The real supreme Ignorance is Richard Cohen. I guess he overlooks the idiots on the Left. WOW, that list would take all day to compile.
