Your post has my head spinning! She’s brilliant but she’s also an idiot, she’s media savvy but she’s also an inarticulate moron! She’s smart at the same time she’s really dumb!
I never said she was an idiot. I am saying that his how she is universally portrayed by the media. And sadly it is sticking with a lot of people who don't follow politics closely. Those are the people, regrettably, who decide elections.
I never said she was media savvy. Nor does being inarticulate mean you are an idiot. That was the criticism of Bush, who IMHO was NOT articulate but neither an idiot. Again, the public perception comes into play. And not thinking well on your feet is not even necessarily "inarticulate" either. It is a different skill that is orthogonal to raw intelligence or even being a good public speaker.
This is not personal criticism, but I think we have to guard against "anti-PDS" on our side.
Seriously, were you fine with the way Sarah handled the Gibson and Kouric interviews?
