all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over the years, i read them

As much as you'd like to believe that the Republicans are entirely responsible for the verging collapse of the U.S. economy and our sinking reputations abroad, they are not. They can take credit for much of the mess, but there's plenty blame to share with colleagues across the aisle. But Republicans do deserve most of the credit for dumbing down the election to the intellectual level of eighth graders.

Even the pundits are saying that Sarah Palin is so simple that Joe Biden has to be careful so as not to appear too intellectual least he alienate voters. The same advice was given to Barack Obama which is what lead to the whole pig-on-a-lipstick shtick that played for a week.

Can anyone imagine Sarah Palin reading anything much beyond People? There was a picture of John McCain catching up on the news aboard his campaign plane the other day. McCain's paper of choice? USA today. No Washington Post, NY Times, or Wall Street Journal for this fly-jockey. Gimme the sports section please. What do you think of those Bills?

Ready to serve, God willing. Or God forbid.
