Why hasn't Palin been interviewed? Obviously, the answer is that the McCain/Palin campaign is afraid of her showing her lack of knowledge and I thought, What doesn't she know? So, being a guy and a lover of Nick Hornby's "High Fidelity", I thought I'd make a list, so here goes:
- Does she know the difference between a Sunni and a Shite?
- Does she know whether Iran, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia are Sunni or Shite dominated?
- Does she know what Saddam Hussien was, Sunni or Shite?
- Could she point out Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, North Korea and Afghanistan on a map?
- Could she point out where Israel is on a map?
- Does she know what Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae do?
- Does she know how social security works?
- Does she know what an investment bank is?
- Has she ever filled out her tax return?
- Has she ever had a full time job?
- What were the last five books she read?
- Does she know the name of the religous leader of Iran?
- Does she know what the IAEA is?
- Does she know who the President of Russia is?
- Does she know that Russia is not the same thing as the USSR?
- Does she know what the Monroe Doctrine is? The Truman Doctrine?
- How is her foreign policy different from Mr. Bush's?
- Does she know whether humans and dinosaurs ever lived together?
- How old is the earth?
- Does she understand Keynseian economics?
- Does she know when the last Depression occurred?
- Does she know when WWI, WWII, and the Korean War occurred?
- Does she think we won or lost the Viet Nam War?
- What was the Cold War?
- How many brances of government are they and are the co-equals?
Well, I have my thoughts on how she'd answer these and it isn't pretty.
