Alec Baldwin and Jamie Lee Curtis Bash Palin at HuffPo

It's never a surprise when Hollywood stars hate on conservatives.
And the stars are certainly coming out to bash Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin. What better place to do so than at the fabulous Huffington Post? Up first was Jamie Lee Curtis with this Wednesday posting (emphasis added, readers are warned to prepare themselves for some truly insipid nonsense):
The scariest thing I hear about the Palin nomination was that she would appeal to voters because they would be able to relate to her and she to them. I get that. There are many places where relatability is key. I am a recovering addict alcoholic and finding another group that relates to my struggles is/was key to my sobriety. When I am at school I find myself grouping with others whose kids share the same issues, interests. People tell me all the time that the More magazine article where I showed what my real body looked like in comparison to the air brushed images most women are fed, was important and made me relatable. That too is great. The problem is I may be relatable and share some of your experiences and concerns but you don't want me as president of United States.[...]
I couldn't hold my own for one minute in a debate on any issue with someone like a Barack Obama or Joseph Biden and neither can Sarah Palin. When the call comes at 3AM I want a mind who was at the top of their class, who has gravitas and a real intellect. I want a leader who is a scholar who can hold the history of civilization in his head and will read and learn from the past as he charts the future.
“I couldn’t hold my own for one minute in a debate on any issue with someone like a Barack Obama or Joseph Biden”
What, this drooling moron thinks Obama and Biden are smart?
Well, I guess an IQ of 85 is pretty impressive to someone with an IQ of 60.
“and neither can Sarah Palin.”
She’d have made both of them look like shoeshine boys without breaking a sweat. I still hold it against her that she bailed out, though.
