And people continue to insist that Obama is really, really smart. Amazing.

Here’s a guy with limited experience, connections to Chicago Machine Politics, and twenty years attending a lunatic church. He skates by on all of that for a year and a half, managing to cover up, ignore, or get a pass on a paper thin resume, Bill Ayers, and Jermiah Wright.

Then McCain picks Palin and the first thing Obama does is say she’s inexperienced. Do you really want to make experience a topic, Senator Noob? Then his campaign starts talking about her church. Do you really want to bring up Jeremiah Wright, Senator? And their complaining about her per diem as Governor. Shall we discuss Tony Rezko and that house you bought some more, Governor?

And yet they still insist he’s smart. Amazing.
