If Sarah only knew what exactly a vice president does.

I'm grateful to Sarah Palin who seems to do her best to keep us entertained with her stupidity. Now that we will have to say goodbye to George Bush, who can also not form a proper sentence, Sarah Palin steps in and shows the world that ignorance is not only frustrating for those who are subjected to it, it can also be rather funny. Here are some of my favourite examples.

"I have not, and I think if you go back in history and if you ask that question of many vice presidents, they may have the same answer that I just gave you."

"As for that VP talk all the time, I'll tell you, I still can't answer that question until somebody answers for me what is it exactly that the VP does every day?" Interview with CNBC's "Kudlow & Co", July 2008

"As Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where– where do they go? It's Alaska. It's just right over the border." Explaining why Alaska's proximity to Russia gives her foreign policy experience, interview with CBS's Katie Couric, Sept. 24, 2008

“They’re our next door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska.” On her foreign policy insights into Russia, ABC News interview, Sept. 11, 2008

"But ultimately, what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the healthcare reform that is needed to help shore up our economy. Um, helping, oh — it’s got to be all about job creation too. Shoring up our economy, and putting it back on the right track. So healthcare reform and reducing taxes and reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions, and tax relief for Americans, and trade, we’ve got to see trade as opportunity, not as a competitive, um, scary thing.” Interview with CBS’ Katie Couric.

"Perhaps so." When asked if America may need to go to war with Russia because of the Georgia crisis, ABC News interview, Sept. 11, 2008

"I'm the mayor, I can do whatever I want until the courts tell me I can't.'" Quoted by former City Council Member Nick Carney, after he raised objections about the $50,000 she spent renovating the mayor's office without approval of the city council
