Palinism of the Day: My Values Are Very Smartish

Bill O’Reilly, November 21 2009: Do you believe that you are smart enough, incisive enough, intellectual enough to handle the most powerful job in the world?

Sarah Palin: I believe that I am because I have common sense, and I have, I believe, the values that are reflective of so many other American values. And I believe that what Americans are seeking is not the elitism, the um, the uh, uh the kind of a spineless, a spinelessness that perhaps is made up for that with some kind of elite Ivy League education and, and, and a fat resume that’s based on anything but hard work and, and private sector, free enterprise principles. Americans are, could be, seeking something like that in positive change in their leadership. I’m not saying that, that has to be me.
