There's nothing wrong with that for Jane Citizen, but to not really follow the Iraq war even when you have a son deploying betrays such a lack of intellectual curiosity it's almost incomprehensible for a politician at her level.<BR/><BR/>What's really funny is watching conservative intellectuals defend her qualifications.

Liberals have no problem saying certain people are smart and others are dumb; they merely shrink from admitting that there are any significant group differences. The more hardline ones might also claim that all intelligence variation is caused by environment, but that doesn't preclude them calling certain people dumb.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
