Are you smarter then Sarah Palin?

AP MCCain Veepstakes Palin

I am going to roll with another Sarah Palin post since she seems to be able to extend her 15 minutes of fame unlike say “Joe the Plumber” (or more accurately Samuel not a plumber). Sarah Palin stayed in the news last week by giving interviews to anyone who would talk to her. Odd, given that Ms. Palin seems to hate the supposed “liberal” media.

I have been known to refer to her as Sarah “dumb dumb” Palin but you can be the judge. Take the quiz below which consists of questions that were asked of Palin during the Presidential campaign. After I will grade you based on how many able to answer and give you Sarah Palin’s score to compare.

All these questions were posed by either interviewers, McCain aides, and one by third graders…

1.) What is the Bush Doctrine?

2.) What magazines or newspapers do you read?

3.) What does the Vice-President do?

4.) What are the three countries that make up NAFTA?

5.) T or F South Africa is a country or a continent?

No answer key since assume you know which questions don’t know the answer to and if not sure can just Google it.

4-5 correct  – Congratulations, you paid attention in government class in high school and read a newspaper semi-regularly (which means you were able to answer question #2).

1-3 correct  – OK, politics and world affairs are not your strong suit and probably voted for John McCain.

0    correct  – You would be a loser if appeared on the FOX game show “Are you smarter then a 5th grader?”.  All is not lost since you would have scored the same as Sarah Palin! This means you would still be qualified and have a chance in running for the GOP Presidential nominee in 2012 just like Sarah (or as she seems to think).

I would have scored a perfect five myself. :-) Do you think it is getting old making fun of Sarah Palin or it will never go out of style until she disappears from the headlines?

  1. Let’s see if a true blonde can beat her…

    1.) What is the Bush Doctrine?

    Bush’s declaration that the US has the right to attack any nation we think is a threat…awesome stuff…huh?

    2.) What magazines or newspapers do you read?

    ummmmmm…read?

    3.) What does the Vice-President do?

    Depends on who the VP is… cuz I think Cheney’s job was to be a total slimebag and he did a good job at it too!

    4.) What are the three countries that make up NAFTA?

    Let’s see…North American Free Trade Agreement… North American… ummmmm hang on.. I think I know this one. Jeeze I should really know this… North American Trade Agreement…Africa, Russia and Alaska? You Betcha!

    5.) T or F South Africa is a country or a continent?

    Not sure, but I can see Russia from my house. Does that count? ::Wink, Wink::
