Palin hereself couldn't pass those tests today, even after attending five or six of the most mediocre colleges in the United States.

It's obvious to me that Palin is uncomfortable with this, because she knows that the kids of Alaska probably have the lowest level of education in the country along with South Carolina, and will be seen in an egregious light. She doesn't want anyone to know, even that she herself is a product of the educational system, is so far behind. It would be embarassing and shocking to the rest of the country and she will be further perceived as a failure. She's basically afraid of being exposed.

"She's basically afraid of being exposed."

Hmmm, too late! See her 'public profile' from 8/08 til the present...

How much more exposed can she be?

Plain is proof that to make it in Alaska you do not need to read or write. Moving outside of Alaska without those skills has proven to be a little harder.

You are exactly right. She is proof. She cannot read, write, speak, be an effective governor, be an effective parent, have knowledge of world affairs and be even remotely educated. She doesn't even know what newspapers she reads. (I am positive that she doesn't read any).

This woman is the worst politician ever unleased to the American public Her sense of decency, morality and ethics is far below the rest of the world's, I would say that she is less intelligent than a Neanderthal woman who lived on this earth millions of years ago. I would imagine the lack of cohesive and well articulated sentences is very close to the grunting of these primitive creatures.

Her behavior, in every facet of her performance, as governor of Alaska, has undermined the development of human and educational growth in the state. The children of the residents of Alaska are the losers in this. I feel sorry for them.
