I used to think Sarah Palin was just unprepared...

...but now I think she's just not that smart. Check out this little gem, taken from the New York Times:

“Now we kick in that fiscal conservativeness that needs to be engaged, and we progress this state with $57-a-barrel oil,” Ms. Palin said. She said the state would have to “be prudent with public dollars and provide services more efficiently than have ever been provided in the state of Alaska before.”

I empty a red pen marking up that statement. Ye gods, but that woman could have been president. And still might be.
