Sen. Lisa Murkowski, whose relationship with fellow Alaska politician Sarah Palin has been rocky for years, said Monday that Palin lacks the "intellectual curiosity" to be president.

In an interview with CBS News' Katie Couric, Murkowski also said Palin does not have the "leadership qualities" to be commander in chief.

Here's a woman who wrote two best-selling books, stars in her own television series, and frames the entire country's public discourse using posts on her Facebook page.

Imagine what she could accomplish if she had "intellectual curiosity".

Oh yeah? Murkowski lacks gravitas.

I seem to remember the establishment RINOs saying the same thing about Reagan back in `76 and again in `80. The leftists and the media took it from there after he won in `80.

I seem to recall hearing just about the same thing about President Bush... And I recall hearing all about how brilliant and what a wonderful leader Obmam was...

What the hell is “intellectual curiosity”?

Intellectual curiosity is what you have if you simply nod your head in agreement when someone is said to not have intellectual curiosity.

Intellectual curiosity is not what you have if you ask what the hell intellectual curiosity actually is.

Soon Palin can reply:

“Murkowski lacks the votes needed to be called Senator.”

What the hell is “intellectual curiosity”? Sounds like a catch phrase libs use to try to sound superior but in reality, has little meaning.

Katie knows what it means. So does Lisa.

Intellectual curiosity , for a lib, means experimenting with new learning experiences, like lesbianism.

They are correct. Sarah doesn't have that curiosity.

Katie and Lisa know that homosexuality is of prime importance in the entertainment, news, and political arenas, at least to the liberals and degenerate criminal politicians we have running our country currently.

Colin Powell endorses Obama

Obama displayed a steadiness, an intellectual curiosity, a depth of knowledge,” Powell said.

I don’t see how this woman can be so stupid.

Is that “intellectual curiosity?”

Interestingly, liberals painted Adelai Stevenson as some kind of intellectual giant, when in fact, he was duller than drying paint and rarely read.

Now, for “Intellectual Curiousity”, my number one pick would have to be Richard Feynman. He was an odd duck, I can’t figure out if he was a libertarian or a liberal, probably a bit of both. But that guy had what I term as “intellectual curiosity” in spades.

He was definitely one of those people who, while sitting in a car, would notice something that to most of us would be completely unremarkable or mundane, for example, the pattern of rain on the windshield, and become fixated on the behavior of the water on the glass and end up spending days in his garage building things or experimenting.

If you don’t know much about him, I would suggest his book “Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman”. His account of learning all about cracking safes while at Los Alamos was a riot and fascinating as well.

My intellectual curiosity inspires me to question this woman’s intellectual capacity.

Awwwk, Katie Couric and Lisa Murkowski, whatta pair! Murkowski had to take the bar exam four times before her daddy paid off enough people to pass her. I guess Lisa’s intellectual curiosity wasn’t really based in THE LAW. Palin has a degree in communications with an emphasis in journalism which makes her such a great communicator, received a Distinguished Alumni Award. Couric got a degree in English, I guess that’s why she’s not a communicator and it shows in her pedantic delivery. Couric’s college claim to fame was she got to be head dorm keeper. That and a grand award winning live colonoscopy on CBS is a great exhibit of Katie’s intellectual curiosity!

This from a woman whose sole relevant qualification for the job was that Daddy had the right to appoint her.

CAT FIGHT! Nothing, nothing in this present world, except to be with my family, would make me smile with satisfaction like seeing (hopefully not) Senator Smurkowski sitting in her chair and having to rise upon the entrance of President Sarah Palin. AAAAHHHhahahahahahahahahah!
