Marsha Blackburn: Palin has PTA experience!
U.S. Congressman Marsha Blackburn (R - TN) on MSNBC earlier today:
When it comes to the experience question, if you’re going to give me the choice between a man who has run a committee in the US Senate, or a woman who has been a wife, a mother, a businesswoman, a PTA chairmen, a mayor, and a govenor, I’m going to take the experience that woman has, because of this: it is more well-rounded. She has more life-skills. Leadership is a transferable commodity, and women are experts at that. They build leadership skills through so many different areas of their life. They’re not single focused. And if you’re going to give the American people to get someone who has a wealth of leadership experiences from many different platforms in their life, and many different disciplines or give them the opportunity to have someone who has been a chairman or a ranking member of a committee in the US Senate, I think the American people are going to speak out and take that woman with a wealth of experience.
So, apparently PTA experience is an important skill for being one of John McCain’s heartbeats away from the presidency.
Oh, and apparently Barack Obama has no family (Barack has been “on a committee” but Palin is a wife and mother).
How does she breathe with all that horseshit in her mouth?

Oh, hey, look! They will say anything no matter how dumbfuck stupid it is. How about that?
I guess she doesn’t realize that by this logic Palin is more qualified than John McCain, too, huh?

“I guess she doesn’t realize that by this logic Palin is more qualified than John McCain, too, huh?”
Au contraire. To the Republican wing of the Republican party (the 25-33% who still approve of GWB), the Palin choice has validated McCain in a way that could not possibly be done by voting the conservative line in the Senate for 26 years, or by all accounts holding up valiantly under terrible circumstances as a POW.
