Whoa bro. I'm sorry.... I can't back you here, in either case.  Expected to be ignorant about supreme court cases?  That's pretty impressive.... I guess the high schools in Alaska don't teach the biggies... Marbury v Madison,  Brown v Board of Education, Dred Scot v Sandford , Plessy v Ferguson,   OR she could even have known...oh i dunno... Bush v Gore...MAYBE even Baker v Exxon which she gave a governor's comment on  :confused:.  This question Couric asked was the softest softball Palin got the entire interview.... and she wiffed.  I asked an eighth grader (a relative) who attends a public school if she could name any cases.... and she named three of the above, in maybe a minute.

Ignorant on foreign policy is a big one.  She's up for the #2 job in the country.  Funny, when the commander of NORAD in Alaska shoots down her "Putin raises his head" response.  He went on record saying, that no russian a/c have violoated our airspace in the 15 years he's known, directly contradicting the VP candidate's answer.

IQ tests aren't very useful for measuring intellect as they are biased.  I think she's not as dumb as she's looking right now... at least I hope.  I'll give her credit for around 110.  Although, maybe she is good at random pattern recognitions.

And yes, I'm worried.  The bar is now so low, for her, that she doesn't have to do anything great tonight, in the debate.  If she doesn't curse or vomit, she's got a very good chance of appearing like the winner.  And, honestly, if you care about this country..... that is scary.

So what were your opinions of Kerry and Gore losing to "W" both times?   Seems like the Democrats are the Morons of the Country, no?  

Osama is a crappy public speaker.   He doesn't write his own speeches or he wouldn't stumble when his teleprompter fails.   Problem is they both fail.

Lets see you pass a law course.

I suppose you missed the part where I said my sister was a lawyer. My IQ is as high or higher than hers, she'll admit that. And I've seen the content of the courses, I studied some of her books. And I grew up in a courthouse. I can pass a law course. But can you fly a jet and dodge missiles?

I stand by my earlier statement about IQ.

The following facts can be verified in the book "The Reich Marshal:  A Biography of Hermann Goering" by Leonard Mosley.  I used that text as one of my sources for a paper I wrote while working on my MSE in History.

In 1945, an army psychologist named G.M. Gilbert conducted an IQ test of the top Nazi leaders being prosecuted in the Nuremberg trials.

Hjalmar Schacht                               143
Arthur Seyss-Inquart                         141
Herman Goering                                138
Karl Doenitz                                     138
Franz von Papen                               134
Eric Raeder                                      134
Dr. Hans Frank                                  130
Hans Fritsche                                   130
Joachin von Ribbentrop                      129
Wilhelm Keitel                                   129
Albert Speer                                    128
Alfred Jodl                                       127
Alfred Rosenberg                              127
Constantin von Neurath                     125
Walther Funk                                   124
Wilhelm Frick                                   124
Rudolf Hess                                     120
Fritz Sauckel                                   118
Ernst Kaltenbrunner                          113
Julius Streicher                                106

The results delighted Goering, because it showed that the Nazi leaders were far from the illiterate boobs many in the West believed them to be.  The average IQ is about 130.

Ergo, IQ is no guarantee of ability or wisdom or moral strength.

Yeah, right, like you were trying to spell possum
