Sarah Palin - Governor of Alaska 1

Just your average ambitious, self-assured, narrowminded and ruthless small town politician, elevated to the governer's office on a legacy of rewarding personal friends and punishing personal enemies.

A governor utterly lacking in curiosity about the world around her, who was then propelled to the VP ticket on account of her telegenic appearance, her gender after a gender-infused presidential race, and the appeal to the alienated Christian right wing of her position on abortion, gun rights, as well as a grossly distorted claim of the 'reformist' mantle.

Guys, I don't want to take the name of George W Bush in vain, but if you fall for this crap after the last eight years, there is no helping you.
