Well, I don't know anything about Palin, but the idea that those politicians mentioned are great intellects is risible beyond belief. They are no doubt clever at obfuscation - the primary ingredient of debate among politicians - but that hardly indicates a trenchant intellect.

I hear you, Trish, I hear you. Sometimes it's best to let nature take its course...to wait for the fullness of time...(insert additional cliche here)...
