I’d tell her that I assumed she was more well read and a better person than her turse reply. That I’d hope if I were running for an office that my credentials that might match Palin/Bachman, etc. would be “judged” equally with my opponent. Ask her to put up a nameless list of qualifications and desires and then compare them and see just who your friend really is...
When I do something foolish or with less than my usual good nature, I tell myself I am a better person than that remark!
Not sure whether either would be good as POTUS, but they beat the hell out of what we’ve got now.
But Palin is very accomplished. If she’s so stupid, how is it possible that she’s managed to make a killing, financially, with various efforts over the last couple of years? And she was an excellent governor with many accomplishments, from most accounts.
Michelle Bachman, a wife, mother of five, foster mother of 23, businesswoman and tax attorney managed to win her Congressional seat and has beat out a bunch of Republicans in this Iowa straw poll. More than most of us could do in ten lifetimes, I think.
I, too, have a friend who is attacking Bachmann today (but she’s attacked Palin in the past). She’s accomplished little in her life, so I’m guessing she’s envious of these two accomplished, conservative women. I would just play up what these two have done with their lives and try to contrast what your friend has done with his. I’m sure he’ll come up “short”, so to speak.
Simple he has made a statement tell him to back it up with facts, and that if he does not let him know he is a lying dumbas$$.
So if the cat is that smart, why isn’t he/she rich? Seems you could put a smart cat like that to good use...unless the cat is smarter than it’s owner...which wouldn’t surprise me in the least.
Send your friend of a friend this link.

I’d love to be as “dumb” as Michele or Sarah.
Yep.The Left has failed in everything it has attempted with no apologies or even recognition of the failures but we`re the dumb ones for sticking with the tried and true stuff.
They`ve ruined every Western society and country on Earth but they are the clever ones LOL
Goes back to at least Stephenson if not earlier.
Ask him if he thinks hillary knows what *is* means.
You cannot talk to these people as if they are normal. He’s pushing your buttons. Push back. Make HIS brains, (or lack thereof,) the subject.
I just ask; “got anything new?”
Liberals who destroy everything they ever get their hands on call victims of their destruction ‘dumb’...
They’ve been calling conservatives “dumb” for over 50 years!
I YAWN in their general direction.
Remind him that Hillary was the favorite in the 2008 primaries, and blew it with blunders like the Bosnian sniper and assassinationgate.
Agree with him and then say these republicans are so stupid they think there are only 57 states...
Then point out that Sarah held on to HIM through the whole shellacking, and five kids; but Hillary couldn't even hold the attention of lardass Bill.
And Hillary got fired from the Watergate Judiciary Committee staff for unethical behaviour: she got fired from the team *Prosecuting* Watergate!
Look up Palin's Wall Street Journal editorials from before her run for VP: give them to the friend without the byline.
Tell them to look at Palin's record rooting out corruption as Governor of Alaska.
Cheers!
