Highschool Locker Questioning

I was immediately invaded with the image of two girls after chemistry class standing next to their lockers when one says to the other, "O! M! G! Lisa! What's up the you and Sarah?!"



While Couric's framing of the question was leaned heavily towards the amateur, the intent was at least clear enough that I could divine what she wanted Murkowski to answer. And her answer was, from my perspective at least, a perfect example of what Sarah Palin most certainly is not.

I won't go so far as to say that Sarah isn't "curious", but she most certainly isn't so on an intellectual level that would be a benefit to her in that particular leadership position. One has to be able to ask the tough questions about how your decisions on policy are going to have a broader impact on the country, not just your personal q-score. The later is what Palin is more concerned in - why do you think she quit as Governor of Alaska?
